Classic Roots, Modern Ready: Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid Special

For RC fans who value precision engineering, the Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid Special delivers a faithful revival with modern updates. This 1/10 scale electric buggy fuses the familiar Kyosho build quality with chassis and suspension improvements aimed at todays off-road circuits.

Built from Heritage and Tuned for Today

The Turbo Optima Mid Special pays homage to Kyoshos 1980s buggies while adding contemporary durability. Its 4WD drivetrain provides predictable traction across loose dirt and compacted surfaces, making it a solid choice for club racers and weekend thrill-seekers alike.

Setup that Rewards Tuning

With a stiff, serviceable chassis and adjustable dampers, this buggy responds well to setup changes. Drivers can dial in ride height and damping to match track conditions, while the 8.28:1 gear ratio balances acceleration and top speed for nimble handling.

Flexible for Collectors and Racers

Whether you want a display piece or a race-day machine, the Turbo Optima Mid Special supports both goals. The clear body and decal sheet let you personalise the look, and the modular layout keeps routine maintenance and upgrades straightforward.
