Kyosho MB-010 Mini-Z Optima Buggy Blue/White Chassis Set No Radio

AtomicMods Product ID: 15713
Longtime fans of R/C will recognize the distinctive form of the OPTIMA body straight away, but the nostalgic exterior hides the very latest in R/C design technology. The precision chassis features a shaft driven 4WD with a two-differential drive train incorporating a slipper clutch to protect gears with oil shocks on the 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension, just like the original Optima 1/10 racing buggy. The result is the exceptional performance expected of a 1/10 scale R/C buggy, but concentrated into a racing machine that fits on the palm of your hand and the best off-road performance achieved in the history of the MINI-Z.

With most of the precision components protected within the dirt-proof shell, the chassis has the rigidity and durability for hardcore off-road action. Based on the MINI-Z Racer, control circuit board has been tuned for off-road with a special separated design. The ICS function allows precision setting adjustment of controls including the optional gyro unit through your PC while the Chase Mode feature fires up the intensity of racing action. Also, the newly designed steering servo is equipped with 7-stage gearing.

High torque and precision control combine to produce the MINI-Z’s characteristic steering feel and linear control. As the famous Optima body is pre-painted and is packaged as a Readyset, just purchase and set batteries into this legendary racing buggy and watch the latest MINI-Z technology tear up any dirt track.

Average Rating

I am having a lot of fun with this buggy. Solid runtime. Good handling. Plenty of speed for indoor bashing right out of the box. You may want to upgrade the motor if you like to run long straights outside... Otherwise leave it as is.

Pre-ordered this car, and, box-stock to box-stock, this thing handles better than and is faster than the Losi Micro SCT. Not disappointed at all with this little guy. Hope that maybe I could drum up interest for a class - Losi vs Kyosho!
