Overview
From its 1985 debut, the Kyosho Optima 1/10 scale electric 4WD buggy dominated the competition scene with its innovative design. Featuring a ladder frame, rear-motor layout, and chain drive, the Optima series reached its peak with the 1987 Optima Pro. Now, after 37 years, the Optima Pro returns as the 15th Kyosho Vintage Series model, blending timeless design with modern enhancements. This updated legend boasts improved weight distribution, upgraded components for today's R/C systems, and a durable gearbox to ensure peak performance. Aluminium parts gleam in Kyosho's signature gunmetal finish, while the sleek, aerodynamic body recalls the original Pro's short but legendary run. +
The revival of the Optima Pro promises to ignite the Kyosho Vintage Series for years to come, delivering the ultimate rear-motor Optima experience!
Key Features
Rear Motor Layout
Replicating the original Optima Pro, This version has made careful upgrades to the design to ensure that it can handle the power of today's advanced electronics. With a wonderfully placed rear mount motor design and subtle changes to the chassis itself, this reborn hero can be built to be an absolute monster.
Top & Bottom Shell
The Optima Pro features a unique top and bottom polycarbonate shell. Creating a highly aerodynamic profile this top and bottom combination also helps protect the electronics and chassis from dirt, debris and damage.
Aluminium Shock Absorbers
Anodised in a stunning Gunmetal grey, the Optima Pro is equipped with high quality, height adjustable coil over shock absorbers that provide a race spec level of dampening and a high level of tuning.
High Performance Shock Towers
Featuring a resin moulded front shock tower and a super tough gunmetal grey aluminium rear shock tower, the Optima Pro provide a quality steering experience.
Belt Drive
