Speed has form. The winning formula is …
The first OPTIMA model was heralded as a technical masterpiece at its release in 1985 and from then, Kyosho has set the standard in R/C development. Memories of the OPTIMA are fresh even after 30 years and its stylish form and ruthlessly efficient performance still resonate amongst modern racing machines. Now the new OPTIMA is ready to continue the battle for racing dominance, embodying the latest in technological evolution but with the distinctive OPTIMA style. The narrow backbone shaped chassis provides the platform for optimal geometry with large steering angles and double wishbone suspension with long 35mm suspension stroke. Recreated in the image of the original design, the the 4WD chain system is housed inside a sealed compartment and the gears and gearbox at the center of the drive train are equipped with robust metal counter gear pinion and rear diff case. The drive train also features a slipper clutch and precision 48-pitch gear modules that reduce drive loss and fulfill the potential of modern power sources. Modern features include the choice of chain drive or belt drive as well as big bore shocks on front and rear that have been recreated in the original OPTIMA colors, plus hex screws. As a true racing partner, the OPTIMA is ready to race again with the latest advancements in driving performance.

82140B EP Starter Pack (4WD)
Includes all items needed Great value all-in-one set
The EP Starter Pack is a great value bundle containing all the items needed to get an unassembled 4WD EP R/C car kit on the road. If you are new to R/C cars, this starter pack saves you from having to separately buy all the additional items you will need. The included ESC, motor and servo combine to deliver powerful driving and steering performance in response from the included 2.4GHz transmitter, which can be used to control multiple other models with its automatic frequency band control. This all-in-one set only requires batteries for the chassis and 4 x AA size alkaline batteries for the transmitter to start running! The EP Starter Pack can make your first R/C experience as easy and enjoyable, at a great value price.
[Transmitter/KT-231P] -- The KT-231P transmitter operates on 2.4GHz and requires no frequency band control. Non-stepped (continuous) adjustment provides precision setting of ‘Throttle Trim’ to ensure the car doesn’t move unnecessarily, ‘Steering Trim’ to adjust the car’s straight line running, ‘Throttle Endpoint Adjust’ to set the amount of movement on forward and brake input and ‘Steering D/R Adjuster’ to adjust the steering control angle. Requires 4 x AA size alkaline batteries. |
[Receiver/ KR-331] -- 2.4GHz receiver works in combination with the KT-231P transmitter. Compact size (36mm x 26.2mm x 12.8mm, 8g) allows the receiver to fit onto a chassis with limited space. Separate power supply is not required as the receiver’s 4.8-6V requirement is powered by the same battery as the motor. |
KS4081-06W Servo controls the steering through the front wheels. This waterproof servo delivers fast response speed from the transmitter control signal for sharp steering characteristics, and holds its line under feedback from the road surface. (Speed : 0.15sec/60°, Torque : 6.0kg·cm). |
[Team ORION VORTEX WP Brush 45A] -- Large 45A capacity waterproof ESC. Change the (Ni-MH/Li-Po) battery setting by changing over the jumper connectors. Also features reverse function (with cancel) and heatsink that is indispensable for use in high temperature summer conditions. |
Powerful but easy to handle 540 type G2X (20T) motor. Leads are already crimped with bullet terminals so soldering is not required and connection with ESC can be made. |
