This is the 1st video of the Turbo optima that will be my entry into the 2024 lakeland classic. Here we will unbox and build the car. Before we fit the Pukka parts carbon chassis. Along with a few other hop ups to take her up anothet level.

It is a fantastic build and everything snaps into place. I love all the gold too! That said it is going to look sick with all the carbon on there too! Have fun with, I am sure you will love the drive!

Yeah, it seems a shame to cover the gold up, or race it. But needs to earn a place on the shelf 😂

Same here, but decided now was the time. No rc10 cc so this replaced it and booked in for the lakeland classic 😁

It sure is, it has to be the sexy’est looking one so far 🤔

More Kyosho. Brilliant. I think that single spider axle set up is for better rear end rotation, the diff reacts faster.

I have to agree, just sat there without the body it looks 🤩 but this will look different once its finished. And very different once its been around the track a few times 😂

I love mine. If I do remember correctly the manual is wrong with 1 screw around the front shock mount area.

@lo2713 5 ай бұрын

Didnt notice anything ? But prob have to rip it apart to fit the carbon on 😂

@RCKickschannel 5 ай бұрын

That's my favourite vintage build of all. It's stunning and the carbon goes really well with the gold.

@lo2713 5 ай бұрын

I have to agree, went together so well. And the gold just pops. But its time to get it ready to do battle at the lakeland classic 😎 wont look as bling if its raining 😂

You’re right about the chain, you can order one if you really want to go old school. Oddly the standard Optima has the chain in the kit as well as the belt and it’s cheaper. I’m very lucky to have both versions of the Optima and I run the standard a lot as it’s a fabulous performer. How do you get that much front end grip in a 4 wheel drive buggy????

@lo2713 5 ай бұрын

I had them tyres on my optima mid, was magga twitchy, this may need a bit more front end as its rear motor. Find out soon 👍
