Kyosho 30622 Optima Mid - 1/10 EP 4WD Classic Racing Buggy  [KY-30622]

Kyosho 30622 Optima Mid returns to the dirt

Since its breakthrough at the 1987 World Electric Off-Road Car Championships, where it claimed second place in a hard-fought A-Main, the Kyosho Optima Mid has been a milestone in RC off-road design. The reissued Kyosho 30622 in the Legendary Series brings that heritage back, combining nostalgic looks with current engineering.

Heritage layout updated with modern materials

The Optima Mid helped define the mid-motor layout now common in racing buggies. This release keeps that core concept and pairs it with a 6061T6 aluminium chassis for a strong, lightweight foundation that suits current track demands.

Tuned components for crisp handling

Key mechanical features remain faithful to the original idea while adding useful refinements. The 48-pitch gear system gives fine control over gear ratios and the belt tensioner helps keep power delivery consistent. FRP shock stays boost rigidity, improving stability much like the Turbo Optima Mid setup.

Authentic styling with upgraded traction hardware

The body faithfully reproduces the iconic silhouette, while new wheels and Turbo Optima tyres improve grip on a variety of surfaces. The reinforced nylon rear wing, shared with the Javelin, offers adjustable angle settings to balance downforce and handling.

The Kyosho Optima Mid 30622 pairs period appeal with practical modern upgrades, making it a solid pick for collectors and racers who want vintage looks with usable performance.
