Such a smooth driveline on this, I love the sound, I managed to use all brain capacity to filter out the music, ha ha! And it's goodlooking, too, mint! That last jump, the way the shocks compressed, I need to watch that a couple times, beautiful!
Thanks Mads! Yes. This is a super smooth drivetrain. It sounds even more distinctive when using the old chain.. but the belt is more maintenance free. Gotta love the Optima series.👍😊
It's really quite remarkable just how many of the Kyosho race buggies from the eighties have survived, and are still running as good as ever nearly 40 years down the line! Obviously the re re market has helped substantially, meaning parts are readily available again..... and giving people the opportunity to say convert their classic turbo Optima into a javelin! I'm loving the mint green javelin frame body mate, probably my favourite colour out of all the options. Looks great out there Sean, kinda makes me want to get my Turbo Optima out for a spin! 😂 👍 👍 👍
Thanks James! You should take your Turbo out for a spin. They are such lovely machines to drive. Yes. Thank goodness for the re-releases. This old chassis has had quite a few replacement parts fitted thanks to that.👍😁
What a beauty! I love the sound of these old Kyosho's, it's very unique. And right at home on the beach!
Thanks for watching Fil! Yes, the smooth belt drive sounds really good. It sounds even more distinctive when the chain is used. 👍😊
Javelin cage on Turbo Optima Chassis -> perfect combination
