Great video, its nice to see inside the box, mine got delivered yesterday but is still sealed while i decide how to build it. I think its reasonably priced compared with the standard mid, all that alloy and carbon is expensive to buy aftermarket. I think the green is quite close to the hobbynox aqua blue i had on my procat.

Yea, my total house burned down this aug.23rd and I lost all 13 cars and parts and tools. So, re-buyin everything to race a 2wd and a 4wd has been very interesting....oh,I had my practice yokomo buggy with me, so I was lucky there...

Loads kicking around to buy and they don't seem to be flying out of the shops, You can still get the JJ Ultima pretty easily too so I'm not sure either of the 60th buggies are hard to come by! The Fantom was a different beast, much more niche and therefore a way smaller production run was done based on anticipated demand.
@RCKickschannel 7 ай бұрын
I did hear the Kyosho was struggling to meet shop preorders for the Mid prototype and Kyosho stopped taking store orders. Like you say, the JJ is still around all over the place so I guess we will just have to see. The JJ price for a 2WD was not easy to justify, so I think that damaged unit sales a bit.

Easiest way to get a colour match Gav is to take a wheel to a paint supplier and see if they can mix you a can by scanning the wheel. Job done.

I’m so upset, I pre-ordered as soon as possible at my local national retail hobby store here in the USA. Still have not received my Kyosho Optima. They have no idea when it will be in. I have contacted other large retailers and they have no idea either. I really dropped the ball on their shipping and exporting for this car. The US tends to get left behind with a lot of these import cars

Hi there! I love your videos about RC's especially Kyosho. I need your help if you don't mind. I'm building a Kyosho Optima. What's a gpod motor, ESC, steering servo, receiver and remote control would you recommend I use? The RC's I see in youtube runs super fast. I don't know how they do it but you guys make it so EASY assembling one and having it run perfect. Any help and advice from you is appreciated. - Desperate RC enthusiast
@Jay-vl6lp 5 ай бұрын
I think I bit off more than I can chew!! Aside from my Optima, I also bought an Optima Mid, Turbo Optima and Turbo Scorpion kit. My problem is here in Las Vegas, USA, we don't have a hobby shop anymore that I can ask to assemble this for me and I'll just pay a service fee. Hobby Town already closed permanently. I'm thinking of just returning these to Amazon rather than letting it go to waste & just collecting dust. Don't get me wrong, I played with RC's before in the late 80's. I had mostly Tamiya's. But back in the Philippines back then, you buy your RC from a Hobby shop and they assemble it for you. You come back after a few days to pick it up. You only need to turn on the remote and run the RC. You don't deal with assembling it. Anyway, thanks for any help and advice you can give me.
@RCKickschannel 5 ай бұрын
Hi, I would look at a HobbyWing Combo ESC and brushless motor. That will be more than enough and you are looking around the £90 mark for the two. A Savox servo are a good bet to get you going. My favourite transmitter is the Flysky Noble but it can be a bit expensive so a Flysky FS-GT3B can be a good place to start.
