Optima Mid Chassis ID help

Post by _timmy_ »

I'm hoping someone on here can help with the id of the chassis on this mid that i've found. The cars not in bad condition at all and the chassis is almost unmarked, i just don't recognise it!. Here's a few photo's thanks:

I think (no, I'm pretty sure :)) it's the Optima Mid Custom Special.

The carbon chassis plate should be an option part.

You can find the complete manual at http://www.retromodelisme.com/

I'm not that Kyosho Specialist, hope someone can confirm :)

PS: great find!

As said above, it's the carbon chassis from the long wheelbase conversion kit. The chassis on the Mid Custom Special was identical but in black fibreglass.

Thanks for the replies everyone, one happy new owner here! Did a quick strip down last night to satisfy my curiosity on the drive train... and it turns out its got u/j driveshafts on the front and ball diffs front and rear. Just need to find front and rear sway bars now.......

Very nice! Should build up to be pretty much an ultimate version of the good ole optima mid. They dont get any better than that!
