Turbo Optima Mid Special 2025 - Including FREE 5K Lipo battery

Experience the legendary heritage of Kyosho radio controlled engineering with the Turbo Optima Mid Special 2025—a masterfully reimagined 1/10 scale RC car that honours the original 1988 champion whilst delivering modern performance innovations. This iconic electric RC buggy combines vintage aesthetic appeal with contemporary engineering refinements, making it an exceptional choice for enthusiasts seeking a competitive RC car with authentic racing pedigree. The extended wheelbase design—eighteen millimetres longer than the standard Optima Mid—significantly enhances high-speed stability and cornering precision, whilst the hybrid FRP and carbon chassis delivers the perfect balance between flexibility and rigidity for demanding off-road terrain.

Built for serious RC hobby UK enthusiasts, this radio controlled car kit features a fully ball-bearing supported drivetrain with belt-driven 4WD technology that ensures smooth power delivery and minimal rotational loss. The anodised oil shocks with medium-hard springs provide consistent damping across varied track conditions, whilst the reinforced adjustable slipper clutch accommodates high-power setups without compromise. The redesigned molded body accommodates modern battery configurations and electronics, maintaining the nostalgic styling cues that made the original famous. As a complete RC car kit, it arrives with block-pattern tyres, precision aluminium hubs, rear wing, and all necessary assembly components. Every Kyosho RC package includes detailed instructions and quality finishing touches—from shock oil to decal sheets—ensuring you're ready to progress from assembly to track competition. This is an ideal radio controlled buggy for racers who demand both heritage and performance.
