The gold chassis parts look a lot better in these pics...very close to the original IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reedydriver 148 Posted February 27, 2019 There is a video from Kyosho on YouTube showing the turbo optima, however, to be honest, I don't like it 100%. Anyway, I want one!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Specifically turbo optima mid SE & Yokomo YZ10 . I am glad the Cat XLS was re-released and getting my hands on that soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reedydriver 148 Posted March 1, 2019 Yes, optima mid, yz-10 and cat xl(s) are fantastic buggies. In both my re-re schumacher (cat xls and topcat) I use the pro transmission . With this upgrade it is pure pleasure to drive. Actually, I hope to get my hands on the Turbo Optima soon! I also think about building it with ball differentials...

Carrera124 80 Posted March 6, 2019 What really bothers is, is the different tire profile design, compared to the original Turbo Optima. Not sure if the standard Optima tires will fit the Turbo Optima wheels, but would look much better imho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reedydriver 148 Posted March 7, 2019 Optima tires are 1.6 and Turbo Optima has 2.0. A combination of 1.6 tires on Turbo Optima wheels will not work. What size are Egress tires? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTodd 1349 Posted March 9, 2019 I keep coming back to this thread for the pictures! RC cars seem to mimic real race cars. What I mean is the RC cars and Race cars of the 80s and 90s performance was about 90 percent of what today’s cars can do with looks that could kill! The new RC cars and Race cars are more capeable but the design and looks leave a lot to desire! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wooders28 4723 Posted March 9, 2019 Schumacher have a good selection of 2" rubber, covers pretty much any surface 👍 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?CategoryID=9960&SubCategoryID=996010&ManufacturerID=51&CategoryID=9960&MSAttributeID[58]=713&MSAttributeID[63]=871 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reedydriver 148 Posted March 10, 2019 That's great! I always liked the full spike tires from Schumacher! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reedydriver 148 Posted March 13, 2019 On Kyosho europe you can see the new turbo optima parts like body + decals, wheels, gold aluminium parts...unfortunately I cannot upload images. I will try later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madmickmalone 77 Posted March 13, 2019 The body is listed on Kyoshos' website, on the below link, with the other available parts. http://rc.kyosho.com/en/otb248.html?___SID=U Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbimaster 190 Posted March 14, 2019 Anybody see the Trinity 170mm gold sensor wire #TEP1178? Its like it was made specifically for the Kyosho Turbo Optima. I've started per-ordering my electronics, paint ect, to have it all ready to go once the Turbo hits the shops. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raman36 1656 Posted March 14, 2019 Probably made for the hideously gaudy 24k series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
