The Kyosho 30617 Optima is a hallmark of off-road history reborn for contemporary racers. First seen in 1985, this updated edition preserves the iconic silhouette while integrating enhancements that make it competitive on modern circuits.
The timeless styling remains, but key components have been upgraded. A 6061T6 aluminum chassis increases torsional stiffness and durability, giving the Optima a more resilient base for high-speed runs and jumps.
Racers can select between chain or belt drive configurations to match driving preference and motor choice. A slipper clutch built into the gearbox helps manage traction and protects the drivetrain from sudden power spikes.
Ride quality relies on double wishbone geometry made from glass-mixed nylon and beefy big bore dampers that smooth landings and chop. The new tire compound and reworked tread deliver improved bite on a variety of loose surfaces.
Blending original charm with contemporary engineering, the Kyosho Optima delivers an authentic driving feel while meeting the demands of modern off-road racing.
