Kyosho Optima Pro (Replica) - Chassis Build
2,007
Published 2024-04-28
In this video I go over the chassis build for my Kyosho Optima Pro replica. This is a build I've been meaning to do for a very long time but never got around to it. Now with news of the upcoming rerelease of the Optima Pro, I figured it was time I built mine. Enjoy!

I think it looks epic Mick, great job 👍

Great video Mick, love the work you did to this buggy, amazing job mate.

Still got my original Optima Pro from when they first came out in the 80''s with those lovely red shocks. Amazingly it still worked when I tried it not long back but it needs an esc and receiver upgrade. Back in the day it just got a plain red paint job but Id love to redo it with a relica body shell now I have more paint skills. Looking forward to the next installment.

Very nice chassis Mick...looking forward to the end result my friend. One of my future builds is gonna be a Salute...it never gets the attention it deserves...but i adore it

It is looking good and the tire letting looks great. The wheels and tires really do make it better looking! I am sure it is going to look great all done up, looking forward to it!

Looking forward to seeing the finished product

Very nice RC10 in the background. Right now I have RC10 Clear Edition. I am looking forward to get RC10 40th Anniversary on May.

Always enjoy your videos looking forward to the painting

Great job Mick 👌 shame about those washers cracking 🤔🤦🥶
-
I bet you can't wait for the new one. I hope you get the laser I wish I could get both of them. Caswell's the fast attack vehicle.

I think your right about the servo upfront, with lipo’s it would be rear heavy. But at the end of the day, you started this build before kyosho dropped the rere. And its allways great to build something to your own spec 👍

G'day mate!! That's a sexy looking buggy!👌, you're gonna need that glass cabinet sooner than later!. It's such a quality looking bit of RC mate, plenty of alloy👍. Ingrid noticed the alloy chain drive, she's impressed mate. Looking forward to seeing the body painted. Very nice touch with the red on the tyre writing, that's one of the 1st bits of detail I noticed, that's exactly how it's supposed to be🍻. Thanks for sharing your video Mick👍🦘🇦🇺

Hell yea brother

My tbg falcon body had no cut lines. Luckily I had an original that I could reference
-
Looks good, nice work. I'm torn between the Pro re-release or the Turbo with a Pro body (I want the gold bling but prefer the Pro body shape)
-
Nice car. Nice T-shirt too. I was wondering if you are going to try and get the Team Associated 40th anniversary RC10?
