Kyosho Turbo Optima 1/10 4wd *LEGENDARY SERIES*

Long live the legend!

Updated with the latest technology.

The appearance of the Optima was a real revolution on the world stage. Its worthy successor, the Turbo Optima was launched in 1986 as the most powerful machine in the series.

In 1986, The Turbo Optima set new standards: Large diameter tires, large capacity shock absorbers, front and rear anti-roll bars and a Le Mans 240S motor.

The Turbo Optima then accommodated 8.4V batteries. Remastered in 2019, the Turbo Optima debuts as the 7th model in the vintage series.

Key Chassis components

The Turbo Optima has been redesigned to meet the demands of modern racing conditions and propulsion batteries, and share DNA with the Optima and Javelin.

The new Turbo Optima is not just a reproduction of the original. It includes gold anodized parts which were optional improvements over the original.

Gold shock absorbers with adjustable chassis ride height and new modern tires with large pins. While retaining its original look from 1986, the 2019 Turbo Optima is equipped with the latest electronic technology.
