Oh, that's a nice one to watch, Saturday morning, hangover, with a coffee, great! I love the sound of these, especially the Turbo sounds sooo smooth! Yeah, the track is terrible, it could kill a 10th scale buggy with all those rocks bared, but happy they survived.😃
Great vid mate,might have to finally bite the bullet and buy one of these,just been on the fence a while because they are rather pricey for what they are. Very impressed by the nimbleness of that brushed setup. On a final note what exact lipo battery where you running that fitted well in these cars so I can know what to look out for if I end up buying one or both these kits? Keep up the great videos bloke😎👍
They are both great to build and fun to run .... my personal fav is the optima mid ... the brushed setup is plenty enough imo for what i need ... i was using a 2s 3300mah lipo
@@tm_vis-rc on this day it was faster , i have since turned up the timing on the optima turbo and now it is faster .... All completely box stock as far as pinions etc 👍🏻
awesome thanks for the info! Yeah im running the le mans 240sESC and 15.5T and its quite undepowered, unless i use 3s For the mid, i have the 1080 and super stock RZ on a 28T pinion that ive yet to take out for spin!@@kaosr.c
Thanks for the info! yeah im running the Le Mans 240s ESC and 15.5T motor on the turbo, and its underpowered, unless i use the 3s ( 42kmh on that). For the mid, i have the same setup, with a 28T pinion, but ive yet to take it out with that updated setup. :) @@kaosr.c
Cool video! Your Kyosho Turbo Optima and Optima Mid are both pretty quick. What motors and ESC did you use if you don't mind me asking? I have both RC's but I haven't started assembling them yet. I want to get the same motors for my units if I can.
@@kaosr.c ah damn. I'm torn between the optima mid and the turbo optima. I was convinced I was gonna get the turbo optima but then I came across your video. I just built my first Kyosho turbo scorpion and I love it. Although I needed to add some weight to the front end to keep it drivable. I also have a tamiya hotshot blockhead and I thought it might be similar to the mid. Although mechanically I'm sure the mid is way more advanced. Any thoughts would be appreciated
@sonicplayroompiano4302 i prefer the optima mid myself but i do like the room inside the turbo , easier for installing electrics ... cant go wrong with either though 👍🏻
Honestly get yourself one .... It is pure satisfaction building it .... All you need to buy to get it running is the motor/esc , servo and radio/receiver.... Have a good set of hex drivers and take your time building it
You could get the proper kyosho esc/motor for it ... The LeMans.... Or go what i put in mine , hobbywing 1060 with a tamiya super stock RZ motor .... Works great and quick
Optima mid is a great looking buggy, no need for brushless in that one. How do you get on with dust & grit getting into the motor not causing damage to the motor.
Both are great buggies and looked great out there!
Best kit builds imo , love them ! Thanks for watching
Awesome! 2 of my favourite buggies of all time.👍😊
Thanks ! They both are awesome 👌🏻
Yeah that brushed motor is quicker than the brushless. Still amazed on how quick they both are on 2s batteries, really really cool man!
Yea man the brushed setup was 5km quicker which surprised me , absolutely love building good kit buggies and these are awesome ! Thanks man

Yea the track is very rough lately ! They both ran great today and was happy with them .... they survived 😆... thanks man
Great presentation and run👍
Thank you 👍🏻
My childhoods car❤
Great vid, cheers mate,
Thanks mate 👍🏻
Love the look of the Turbo Optima.
Me too 👍🏻
That thing is a ripper out there 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks , they both go real good
Great info the the old kyosho’s
Thanks mate ... They are awesome fun 👍🏻
Amazing buggies. Always wanted since i was young. Still can't afford one. Damn it!
They are some of the best kits to build 🔥

Second buggy definitely looked faster,both awesome buggies, great rip 👍👍😀😀
Thanks man ... yea it is faster for sure
Ripping! Loved the back to back comparison. Did you change to a different size pinion gear on the Mid for that motor or just running the kit's pinion?
Thanks mate ! They are both completely stock from the box ... optima mid is a ripper !
Nice retro cars!
Thanks mate 👍🏻
awesome! love it, and i have both also! was wondering, can you mention again which brushless setup you have for the turbo again please ? :)
just to add, the brushed super stock was faster? what pinion were you running on the mid? thanks!
Hey mate thanks
It is the hobbywing quicrun 10bl120 with a 17.5 turn motor
@@tm_vis-rc on this day it was faster , i have since turned up the timing on the optima turbo and now it is faster .... All completely box stock as far as pinions etc 👍🏻

Be nice to know the pinion/gear ratio set up on each. The Mid DEFINITELY looks quicker.
Thanks for the video
Thanks ... the mid is faster .... they are both stock out of the box ... cant remember now what the ratio is

Using a hobbywing 1060 & super stock RZ in the mid and a quicrun 120 & 17.5 turn in the turbo 🔥👍🏻
Thanks!!
Such a beautiful chassis.
Great kits 👌🏻
Great videos. That Mid was rapid.
Thanks mate 👍🏻
What a sick location man. Tell me that's in Sydney somewhere
Thanks , nah man Perth

@@kaosr.c can I ask what type and brand lipo you're running on these cars?
I’ve been looking into a kit. What do you think a good starter 4wd one would be? A tamiya?
If you never built one before then maybe the plasma Edge tamiya , awesome fun car and then move up to getting the Kyosho optima mid 👌🏻
Man I want that Optima Mid, but no idea where to start regarding stuff I’d need. I
Never had anything like this. Any tips?
Honestly get yourself one .... It is pure satisfaction building it .... All you need to buy to get it running is the motor/esc , servo and radio/receiver.... Have a good set of hex drivers and take your time building it
@@kaosr.cthanks, I’m not afraid of tinkering but can you recommend a decent motor, servo and receiver? I’d like something decent quality
You could get the proper kyosho esc/motor for it ... The LeMans.... Or go what i put in mine , hobbywing 1060 with a tamiya super stock RZ motor .... Works great and quick
Optima mid is a great looking buggy, no need for brushless in that one. How do you get on with dust & grit getting into the motor not causing damage to the motor.
Optima mid is awesome 👌🏻
I give them a good clean and use a air blower and hopefully that works to keep them clean
...dude.how.good are the super stock motors? Nice gt tunned ok too for 2wd buggies around loose tracks
Super stock motors are awesome ! RZ and BZ are all i use in a lot of my Tamiya 👍🏻
optima mid seems having a better handling than turbo optima, i ve seen that it can wear team associated shocks
Optima mid definitely was the winner in this
buying my 1st rc buggy would you recommend optimo 4wd?
Out of these 2 definitely the Optima Mid .... my favourite kit build ....
Optima mid much better for many reasons
What turn is the brushed motor in the Mid?
Tamiya super stock Rz 23t i believe
Are they both belt driven?
Yea mate they are
Have this motor might put on my fighter Buggy rx to replace the tz motor rz is the fastest.
I use the rz in my Tamiya Frog and that hits close to 50km , real fast for brushed ... ill do a video at some point ....
My frog has a 25 turn in it .
