The Kyosho Turbo Optima returned in a modern package that keeps the iconic silhouette while improving key mechanical elements. This reissue is aimed at pilots who value classic handling but want dependable modern parts.
Original styling cues like the big diameter tyres and pressure shocks are retained, now matched with contemporary block-pattern tyres for better traction. Gold anodised aluminium pieces are fitted as standard to strengthen the assembly and preserve the retro look.
The platform comes with a 4WD belt drive and includes parts to convert to a chain drive for different performance preferences. A new slipper clutch helps reduce drivetrain stress and double wishbone suspension with reinforced arms improves control on rough surfaces.
An FRP radio plate accepts most modern ESC brands, full ball bearings reduce mechanical drag, and a metal counter gear boosts longevity. The battery hold-down uses hook-and-loop straps so battery swaps are quick and simple.
The Kyosho Turbo Optima delivers a satisfying build and driving experience for enthusiasts who want a vintage style with practical modern upgrades for everyday running.
