Kyosho 30617 Optima 1/10 Vintage Series 4WD Buggy Kit  [KY30617]

Heritage Reborn in the Kyosho 30617 Optima

The Kyosho 30617 Optima returns as a faithful nod to its 1985 roots while receiving practical updates for current track conditions. It keeps the character of the original but adds parts to meet modern expectations.

Original Shape, Modern Strength

The familiar silhouette is preserved, but key load-bearing parts now use 6061T6 aluminium for improved stiffness. That change reduces flex and helps the chassis withstand heavier impacts during aggressive running.

Configurable Powertrain and Clutching

Choose between chain and belt drivetrains depending on tuning goals. The included slipper clutch inside the gearbox offers traction control and prevents abrupt shock to the gears under sudden throttle inputs.

Control-Focused Suspension Design

Double wishbone arms formed from glass-mixed nylon and large-diameter shocks smooth rough landings and maintain tyre contact. New tyre compounds and tread detail give better bite on loose dirt and hard-packed surfaces.

Specifications

The Optima blends preserved styling with tangible improvements, making it a satisfying platform for vintage collectors and active racers alike.
