Kyosho 1/10 Optima Mid Electric 4WD Racing Buggy Kit

Description

• Mid-Ship Layout: Replicates the revolutionary mid-motor configuration that centralized weight distribution, pioneering the foundation for all modern 4WD racing buggies.
• Chassis Construction: Built on a rigid 6061-T6 aluminium alloy main chassis plate. The frame is fully countersunk, creating a completely flat underside to avoid snagging on track obstacles.
• Belt-Drive 4WD: Powered by a smooth, high-efficiency enclosed belt-drive system. Unlike the 1987 original, this modern evolution incorporates an adjustable belt tensioner to maximize power transfer and minimize drivetrain slack.
• Vintage Suspension: Standard equipped with replica gold-anodized, threaded aluminium oil-filled pressure shocks for precision ride-height adjustments. The front and rear shock towers are upgraded to durable, modern fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) plates.

• Features a high-efficiency 48-pitch drivetrain packing an 82-tooth spur gear.
• Integrates an adjustable, heavy-duty slipper clutch designed to manage the high torque of modern brushless motor systems.
• Accommodates a versatile hook-and-loop battery tray that accepts standard 7.2V NiMH stick packs or full-size 7.4V LiPo batteries.

• Dimensions: 375mm (Length) x 244mm (Width) x 142mm (Height) with a 255mm wheelbase.
• Box Contents: Unassembled chassis, clear polycarbonate body shell with window masks, classic white racing wheels, reinforced nylon wing, assembly grease, dampener oil, and pre-cut decals.
• Required to Complete: As this is a builders kit, it contains no electronics. You must source your own 2-channel radio system, steering servo, ESC, 540-size motor, matching battery pack, charger, and polycarbonate-safe paint.
