- The Kyosho Optima 4wd 1/10th scale buggy was the "Optimal" performance vehicle of the 1980's. Now, Kyosho has re-released the vehicle to withstand today's brushless powerplants. In this video, I show off the unique packaging that brings you back to the '80's to experience how the hobby really started - it's like a display case of upgrade parts!

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 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.
Features:
Chassis: All plates and the main chassis bars are now 6061T6 aluminum (counter sunk). Aluminum chassis bars are slightly thicker for more durability.
Drive-train: Kit includes both chain and belt drive trains allowing use of more powerful motors. Diff gears now have ball bearings installed.
Gears: Now in 48 pitch gears. Sintered alloy gears combined with high impact nylon gears and newly added slipper clutch will cope with the current power plants.
Shocks: 10mm diameter aluminum cylinder with SUS shaft allows improved damping.
Tires/Wheels: Slightly modified tread designs and softer compound for superior grip and handling. Rear tires include inner sponge. 1 piece wheel design.
Bumpers: 2 Types of bumpers included (Wide and Narrow)
Motor Guard: Aluminum motor guard
Geometry: Updated geometry and servo fixture
Hardware: All Hex
Driver: Molded helmet design.
Option Parts: We will release various option parts.
Electronics compatibility: The 2014 Scorpion is compatible with the current standard servos, receiver units, ESC's, motors and battery packs.

I had one of these when I was a kid. I really enjoy the fact that they are releasing remakes of the early rc's
+FILTHY5150RC Me too! I could never afford these when I was a kid...
pretty darn sweet for the eighties.
+2cwik4u104 Yep, the tech is amazing for the time period
I flunked a lot of pop quizzes in 1985 because I was staring at my worn out Tower Hobbies catalog hoping that I would get an Optima for Christmas. All of the cars back then looked so cool, it didn't matter how good they really were.
+chris smith I hear ya! I did a ton of wishing back then too!
cool. i never had an rc in the 80's, but i always wanted one. my car always needed fixing, and the girlfriend(sigh, she was a beauty)always wanted to go out. my grocery checker salary just couldn't do it all. i see these re-releases come out and i think it's really great for folks who had visceral connections to the originals. i think it's a great way to get those who left the hobby long ago back into it.
+humble rc I hear ya.....never could afford one of these in the '80's
Awesome Rich damn that is cool, takes me back to my younger years.
+Shayen RC Enthusiast. Nice!
Timerider back in my 80 😁
+bikerunner1909 Nice!
We have 50 rcs but these old kyosho re release cars are fantastic. They handle a lot better than you think and will do a decent speed. My 2wd ultima re release did 75 k's and had plenty more to go but I didn't want to risk it. They always impress me just as much as the modern kyosho cars .
They really are great to build and watch run
So jealous ... not available in the UK yet . It is truly a thing of beauty . Thanks Rich
+David Charlton Thanks for watching, David. I'm sure it will be avail soon!
love the retro style :-)
+Szabi ESz Me too. Never thought I'd be into it, but this one is cool!
Bad Ass!! I still have my original optima, was my very first hobby grade r/c!! 😀👍🏼
+highyoyos Nice!
Optima Was The Ultimas Bad ass Brother. Great car!
+Dylan Wampler Yep! Thanks for watching!
I love it. I have an original one. Did notice the wheels are not bead lock the originals. They had the ring type lock, 2 piece wheels. Awesome car and rips pretty good. Can't wait to see how it does with modern electronics.
+LockRock RCs Yeah, later on reading, I found out the wheels are now a one piece design, the chassis rails are aluminum and quite beefier and several other features.
Awesome.. I am so glad they brought this thing back and perfect timing too, 30th anniversary. I am excited to get my hands on one. Thanks for the Unbox!
+DrivenRC10 Thanks Driven! Yeah, I was never able to afford the '80's versions, so now a bit later in life they've grown on me!
Awesome! cant wait for mine to arrive
+rnspeed I'm about an hour into it and the build is amazing......manuals are just not like that anymore, plus they give you everything!
Very nice!
+shenlonco Thanks Shen!
Fantastic Unboxing!
Asplenia.
+asplenia Thanks Asplenia! Always nice seeing you in the comments!
Hey Rich
I had a Cox Bandido, it was a rebranded Kyosho. 2WD with the old servo driven speed controller. Man it was fast, uncontrollable for early teen who only knew one speed. But poorly designed and built, the rear arms had no hinge mechanism, just the plastic folded/bent (and that ended up just snapping). Plastic rear wheel drive shafts that popped out on every jump. Ahhh memory lane. My favourite was the Hot Shot, when I heard it had rereleased it that's when I got back into RC Cars. Haven't got one, but it rekindled the interest. My friend started with a Frog, then got a Tamiya Porsche ?959? rally inspired, now that was state of the art compared to what everyone else had.
Love the rereleased cars! Hate the Phillips head screws.
Garszy
+Garszy Thanks for watching Garszy! yeah, although I could never even fathom owning one of these as a kid - They're such a cool design and the technology is amazing.....As for the phillips head screws....Kyosho has opted for hex hardware through out! 1.5, 2.0 pretty much everywhere so far (I'm about an hour into the build so far)
oh man... this is that one kit. i just neeeeed.... maybe one day.
+kpopRC Nice! Always good to see you in the comments!
Very Nice :) , I still have my brother's Optima Salute, still in a great shape. For sure the will have more parts for this, and now i can use it again.
+EnzosToyRoom Nice! I've heard so many great things about the vintage Kyoshos
Those are sweet, just like I remember, I am gonna get one.
+Evolution8R Nice!
This so so amazing! I can't wait for build updates! Such a great nostalgia trip.
+RC Central Yep, there will be a couple of build updates and electronics before you see the body.....stay tuned!
Great video are you able to list the Team Orion parts please.
Nice job Rich. Looking forward to the build updates.
+LosihoTTT Thanks Losiho!
Wow.. Where's the grasshopper or hornet? This should be interesting. Looking forward to the build. Love your channel R.
+cali dude45 Thanks Cali Dude! We will see on the Hornet and GH.....stay tuned, many more videos on the Optima
a nice kit..! :-)
+Franky goes to Hobbywood Thanks Frank...your name goes well with the kit!
i own the mini z version. its great ;)
+Derp Nice!
Love the video but from where I was watching it ,It's a good thing there is no smellavision. lol
+Julian Hendrickson Terrible! Now that made me laugh! lol Thanks, Julian....I think....
Awesome looking buggy! Very reasonably priced kit too, guess I'll have to add this to "the list"
+BrothersRC Nice! Yeah, I think in 1985, it was the same price as today! lol
i hope they re-release some of their earlier 1/8 buggies, loved my Land Jumper and Turbo Burns
+Sleepy .Time Kyosho is doing a great job with the re-releases.
I hope Kyosho continue with the re-releases, would love them to do one on the zxr, they were THE buggy to have when I started racing, even though I went the manta ray/top force route
+RC NINJA Nice....They seem to be doing pretty good with these.
The Optima wasn't the first 4WD vehicle released by Kyosho. They released the 'Progress' around 1985, at around the same time as the Tamiya Hotshot, which was an inferior prototype of the Optima.
Love this retro stuff and a great unboxing. Looking forward to build and testdrive videos. Thank you :) subscribed!
+Tony Johansson Thanks Tony! I appreciate the subscription!
Awesome! How did you get yours so quick? I have one on pre order, so can't wait to get it and build it. Being a child of the '80s, and a Tamiya freak, I love all the re res that are letting me play with all my old toys again.
+Theibault Luck I guess! I never could afford the kits in the '80's, or at least my parent's couldn't....
The RCNetwork I had two jobs as a teen worked very hard to get the toys I wanted. I also did very well in school, knowing that if I excelled there, every summer, my wonderful folks would buy me a kit of my choice for muy birthday. Anyways, can't wait to get mine and run it!
nice! Just finished the Land Cruiser 40 - took a lot of patience with the stickers but now looking for another build. :)
+Discover RC Nice! Love the old Cruisers!
Can't wait to see it up and running. And just your thoughts of old school vs modern RC. Enjoy!
+Garszy Thanks Garszy!
After see this I gone buy it but not in Belgium but in Deutchland.
They're out there....might have to search one down
The RCNetwork I are waiting forum delivering thijs week.Thanks
Now I building this new legendaris Kyosho
Nice, have you thought about what power plant is going in yet?
+mike macias Not a clue.....I do want something very modern....brushless, sensored and Lipo. The manual suggested a 27-35t. lol
Love the "smell-o-vision" reference! That seems to be a nice kit, but I'm not too keen on the chain drive system, hopefully, it will hold up if it's used.
Another great video.
Thanks Bill...they belt drive was the upgrade and came with the re-release
Great unboxing will be nice to see a build. But you will be better with the belt drive as I had the Progress 4WD 4WS in the 80's and the chain drive had to be adjusted all the time. Then every so often you would either remove a link in the chain or sit with pliers tightening the links.
+Basildon Trail Blazing Buddies Yeah, I figured the belt was the way to go....considering it was the option part in the 80's
Since it 12mm hex can't you put on modern tire. If so do you think you might
+Conner Lane Thanks for the idea...May run some stock buggy tires - to save the pinned spike tires that came with it....who knows
+The RCNetwork yeah I was thinking like when you go to OCRC or any other clay track those spikes might not be the greatest thing ever, lol
+Conner Lane yeah, it would be like Ice Skates! Lol
hey i have one of the old ones, all it needs is a remote and esc, what do all u 80's rc freaks suggest, please get back to me.
Run it! They're great vehicles. I'm not sure on the compatibility of parts for the old to the new, but this one has designs to allow for todays electronics to bolt in and take some punishment.
im gonna put in a castle creations sv3 motor with the esc, a traxxas steering servo and a cheep 2.4ghz remote
Isnt there the under part of the bodyshell missing? I got mine today, its not inside. Only body that u showed..i saw some they have an underbody lexan on facebook or utube
