Help me identify this Turbo Optima!

Post by Dbrite111 »

I received this Kyosho approx 30 years ago for Christmas and just don’t remember what model it is. I used it maybe 3 or 4 times.

Any help identifying would be appreciated. Also, are parts still accessible?

Excuse all the dust, I pulled it from the closet, haven’t touched it in decades

As stated above, far from a Turbo Optima... that's basically the last line of an Optima mid, prolly worth close to a G these days.

Wow! Worth close to $1k? That’s shocking, would have never thought. Funny enough, after searching the ZXR, the box looks very familiar. I wish I could remember what drove my interest in this particular model rather than the Turbo Optmia Mid SE, which I thought it was. Maybe this was rarer, who knows.

Thanks all

I personally agree with u, Mid SE is better, but a lot will disagree and say u got a "holy grail" there.
