Kyosho optima mid, 87 WC worlds spec, long wheel base conversion.

Taking the Kyosho optima mid worlds edition and stretching it out. Useing the Pukka parts long wheel base kit we take this super twitchy chassis and see if some extra length makes it a bit more drivable for me 🤔 #kyosho #associated #iconicrc #rc #bbx #lunchbox #rcbuggy #rccar #schumacher #tamiya

Brilliant! I know the carbon bits are faster, but that gold anodizing on Turbo Optima is just something else. Thanks for the update.

[@lo2713]

Yeah, it looks great 😎 but im half tempted to get it redone in grey 🤔

[@RCBirds]

Nice build an very value tips. Can't await to see it run

[@72twink]

Rich the small figure 8 carbon piece is a wing mount stiffener, the longer one is a new steering rack with 3 options of Ackerman adjustment.

[@lo2713]

Cheers, was thinking it would be the steering. I never thought about checking the wing 👍 i can see if i fit that now aswell 👌

1. Neat Car - I just got mine and can't wait to get in the box
2. From someone who had the same issues - Go see a Ear/Nose/Throat Doctor. You head is closed up and you need surgery to fix that before it kills you.
3. Links to the parts you got would be nice so we can order them too?

[@lo2713]

Cheers, seeing the ent team this week 👍 search for pukka parts on facebook and you should find them easly, if not. Give me a shout

[@lrmbvv]

very interesting, another level, a lot of work there, running a long wheel base will be an advantage in stability

[@lo2713]

Yeah, i dont have the skill to have a twitchy car, so hopefully should be easyer for me to drive now 🤞

[@Bormac073]

Excellent conversion to LWB for the new Mid Richard. Great to see some comparisons to that of other cars which we will be seeing out on track

[@lo2713]

Yeah, just need to get back to the outdoor racing now 😁

[@Ianlfcm3]

[@mattpowe]
