Re-release Kyosho Optima Wanted 7 years 11 months ago #37902

The wise folk at Kyosho HQ have re-released the Optima buggy which is something I've always wanted. Are after a box art shelf queen new build & would trade vintage Tamiya for one. :whistle:
Hopefully some day I can get hold of two, one for the shelf & one to run. Have put the cash aside should one ever come up for sale in future.

I've got a Kyosho Optima Mid that's in exceptional condition & completely stock standard. Would part with it to help get a rere Optima either built or just a kit. Others I'd part with is a NIB Tamiya Buggy Champ kit & a Team Associated RC10 factory team buggy with rare fluorescent green chassis. Happy to supply pictures if there's any interest here.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate :)

Don't quite fathom your post - have you just got one or do you have one to get rid of?

That would be a link to a kit for sale on eBay.

On the very rare occasion this time it's cheaper to get the kit in country. I've already got one kit for the shelf & would ideally like another to run as I don't have a 1/10 off-roader to use. I don't mind if it's another kit or built or even if it's box art. Provided it's in great condition & has a decent paint job.

The wife has kindly purchased a kit for my Xmas present so I've been collecting upgrades & spares. Are going to get as many possible so let me know please if you've got something to get rid of. I've decided to eventually get one of each of the rereleased Kyosho vehicles for the shelf & have some Tamiya shelf queens I'd be willing to trade & have cash waiting.

Yep, not like we haven't got a whole room full of RC creations, spares & other related equipment. After I finish my current project I have two more vehicles to sort out before they can go on the shelf. So I'd better get on with it or the Optima gets to wait & it's been really hectic at work lately. But today I recieved a package of 22 vintage old skool brushed race motors & for a pleasant surprise only 6 of them have been used. Some of them are so old I was still at school when they first came out & I'm no spring chicken. The shelf queens will look so much better with some of these fitted to them.

I even found a cheap Kyosho Original K04003 OPTIMA Pull Back 1/43 scale to go with its Ultima Turbo counterpart & the rest of its RC relatives on the shelf. It's a shame that they only made the two types of the littleuns & not the full set. :(
