Even more competitive, even more stylish...
A revival of the original, but infused with the latest racing technology!
After the seismic impact of the Optima reverberated through the R/C racing community, the Turbo Optima roared onto the scene in 1986 as the apex predator of the series—until now. This immortal Turbo Optima has undergone a modernization process, embracing 8.4V power, and emerges as the 7th iteration of the vintage series. Featuring substantial diameter tires, high-capacity pressure shocks, front and rear stabilizers, and the Le Mans 240S motor, it now caters to contemporary racing conditions and power sources. While it retains the DNA of the Optima and Javelin, crucial Turbo Optima chassis components have been revamped. This is no mere replica; it even boasts gold anodized components that were once optional upgrades, as well as gold shocks with adjustable chassis height and cutting-edge block pattern tires. These enhancements elevate performance and aesthetics, capturing the essence of the original.
