The iconic final form of the Optima Series Revived in all its glory!

At the 1987 Electric Off-Road Car World Championship in the UK, the prototype Optima Mid dominated the 4WD A-Main final race securing 5 out of 10 starting positions. Following its success, the Optima Mid was commercialized to achieve worldwide racing acclaim. In 1988, the Turbo Optima Mid Special was released in limited quantities as the final evolution of the Optima Mid and sold out instantly due to overwhelming demand. Now, this legendary machine returns in 2025 as Volume 18 of Kyosho's Vintage Series. The original Turbo Optima Mid Special featured an 18mm longer wheelbase than the Optima Mid, enhancing high-speed stability and cornering performance. Its main chassis was designed for improved battery weight distribution and constructed from FRP sandwiched between carbon plates, striking an optimal balance of flexibility and rigidity. The belt and belt cover were also specifically designed for the Turbo Optima Mid Special, and the body was newly created to match the chassis. This faithful reproduction retains all these defining features while incorporating updates to support modern power systems and R/C electronics. Previously optional parts are now included as standard, along with several newly developed components. Unlike the original, this is not a limited edition but a permanent addition to Kyosho’s catalog. The return of the Turbo Optima Mid Special to modern circuits is a dream come true for all fans, whether they were lucky enough to own the original, or missed out due to its limited production. Now anyone can drive the ultimate evolution of the Optima!

 

• The 18th model in the Kyosho Vintage Series faithfully recreates the legendary Turbo Optima Mid Special. The original limited edition released in 1988 sold out almost immediately.

• Eight new parts were specifically designed for the Turbo Optima Mid Special.

• While maintaining the original design, updates have been made to support modern R/C electronics and power sources.

•High-efficiency belt-drive 4WD system delivers stability and smooth control on both R/C circuits and dirt tracks.

•48-pitch pinion and spur gears are used, with the option to install 78T/80T spur gears.

•Equipped with reinforced slipper clutch designed for powerful motors and batteries. Can be adjusted with the dual slipper seat from the Ultima RB.

•Included battery holder is compatible with various battery shapes. By trimming part of the main chassis, side-by-side Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) batteries can be mounted.

• The reinforced nylon rear wing provides a balance of strength and flexibility, and is shared with the previously released Optima Mid. It can also be swapped with a Scorpion-style wing for further tuning.

• The rear hub carrier allows adjustment of toe angles to 0°, 1°, or 2° by changing the bushings.

• Aluminum hex wheel hubs are securely fixed with screw pins.

• Drivetrain features full ball bearings, ensuring high rotational efficiency.

• Blister-style packaging, similar to the original release, evokes nostalgia from that era.

• With a wide range of optional parts, this model offers extensive tuning options. This model is not just a simple remake – it's ready to be enjoyed as a modern-day racer!

Small touch, Big in Style
Color: Gray
Perfect size for a cup of tea/coffee or a glass of wine on the side Also great for placing a piece of jewelry or anything else you want close by your bedside I like the oval shape better than a rectangle one and the quality of material is top notch, not to speak of how strong it is…a really good buy for us!

Durable Valet Tray
Color: Black, Color: Black
LOVE this leather valet tray. It’s a very well structured piece that seems like it’ll last. The leather looks flawless and is rather durable. I couldn’t be happier to finally have a place for my husband to drop all of his stuff from his pockets when he gets home from work.
