New to the stable Vintage Kyosho Turbo Optima arrived today!

[RippingLegos]

Full setup with Futaba, MSC, looks like an unused red can 240s Lemans in amazing condition (ebay find for 250)! That's the original unbuilt turbo optima box I staged with the new buggy, I'm going to run this one lightly, it is my late christmas present for all the BS I'm going though (divorce).

Gosh that brings back memories. The mech speed control. Ceramic heatsink. The 80s RCs were so cool. The Optima & Javelin were awesome

Me too that's why I try to find the vintage units and get them fixed up

The original owner painted the wheels silver and they are flaking off, but the body is in wonderful shape.

Thank you kindly for all the replies and support, it's a time machine for me, not many other people understand that, so I'm grateful to have found you all.

I think the silver wheels look great with the body design.
