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!

Not the best
Size: 7, Color: Black, Size: 7, Color: Black
They are cute but they have a bit of an odd fit that isn’t great for people with narrow feet. They look too dressy to wear with super casual outfits in my opinion. I think the Ugg golden star sandals are much comfier. If you’re wearing these sandals for a really short time they’d be okay. After wearing them around my house for a little while I decided to return them since they started to hurt my feet.

Not for narrow feet, very lightweight.
Size: 7.5, Color: Black
My feet are slightly narrow; these were not adjustable enough to make secure. Otherwise they are cute. The material feels kind of light, these were my first attempt at UGGs so I'm not sure if that's typical or an actual quality issue. Either way, they don't seem very durable but I can't imagine these are meant for roughing it.
