[legacygt777 45]

It's official, Kyosho is re-releasing it's legendary Optima Mid.  There's also possibly a Turbo one coming out too.

This is pretty amazing.  The pics are gorgeous (by Fluery). 

The Optima Mid was a force to be reckoned with across the globe in the 1980s.  Like other Kyosho re-releases, they have upgraded the Optima Mid for today’s power systems. Here are more highlights-

* Expected to start shipping at the end of Q1 2022
* Updated aluminum chassis with countersunk holes
* New easy access belt tensioner
* Uses modern 48 pitch spur gear from Kyosho’s RB series
* A-arms have been updated with sway bar mounts
* FRP shock towers
* Hex hardware
* Gold threaded body shocks
* One piece wheels
