Vintage KYOSHO OPTIMA MID 4WD RC buggy car. Sold as-is for repair or parts!
This assembled RC car is in used, fair condition. Does not come with the control unit, receiver or servos. Being sold for repair or parts.
I assembled the kit in the mid-1980s back when I was a teenager. I could never get it to operate correctly due to the intricate design of Kyosho kit cars... I had much better luck with the Tamiya Super Shot (see my other listing). Perhaps it was too much car for ...a dumb teenager LOL. I enjoyed the hobby but soon lost interest. I held onto it (and a couple other RC cars) all these years with the intent of doing a rebuild/restoration but now as a family man of three young girls, it's time to let it go :-(
It's pretty dusty from being stored 30+ years.
The chassis is complete. Now that I look at it, I could've done a much better job assembling and maintaining it but this was an expensive hobby for a teenager.
The knobby tires are the originals. There is a motor installed (not sure what type). There are few parts missing including the front bumper and a few fasteners. The rear wing is broken off on the right side. What you see is what you get.
Lots of valuable parts on here. I hope that someone with the time and passion can get this classic buggy going again.
Again, the item is being sold as-is and shown for repair or parts. No returns are accepted under any circumstance.
The item is in used, vintage condition with wear from use and age. Please see the pics for details.
The item will ship securely packed in a cardboard box.Thanks for looking!
