Oh well...guess I gotta get back in line somewhere. Since I pre-ordered way back in February I was hoping to have a decent spot in line.
I'm in the same boat -- mines cancelled.
Maybe I'll have better luck getting a Cougar.
I haven't seen anything definite about when US orders for the Mid will be satisfied, has anyone else?
I still have my order in with Amain from Feb this year but I saw someone saying US deliveries might not be until September now...although this is unverified. Seems crazy that the rest of the world are already building and running theirs but this market doesn't even know when it's going to arrive?!?!?
September is nuts. That’s insane that they would take that long to fulfill. I’d be curious to hear the excuse.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
I think its Tower that's claiming the next shipment will be September 2022. At this point, I don't trust the 2022 part. Could be '23 or '24. Hopefully it comes before Russia launches us into nuclear war, lol.

Amain took my Cougar order. Hopefully the US gets them this month along with the UK. I don't know that I have the patience to wait for September like with the Mid. I already spent several hundred $$$ on upgrades, spares, and electrics.
To be honest, I'm finished preordering toy cars.
I'll buy one if and when they are in stock and if not, well then I didn't get my toy car.
Either way, I'm sure I'll survive.
I gave up on this car and got my money back from Amain to buy mini Jrx2s. Losi’s rollout has been perfect except for the hats. There are plenty of Jrx2s out there to buy and spare parts already. Kyosho could learn a thing or two..

I like it !!! looking forward to many pictures............The table is high class for RC build........can i hear anybody in the background scream............. :lol:
I am an RC10 guy, but always liked the Ultima and Optima series that Kyosho produced. I don't know much about them though. I always wanted a 4wd buggy since the later 80s, but never did end up with one.
Lately, I have been contemplating weather or...

Turbo Optima Mid: Optima Mid with full options (stabilizers, ball bearings, 2mm duralumin bronze anodised flatpan chassis, ESC ready)
This is a project I have been chipping away at on and off for nearly two years with most of the time having been spent sourcing parts, trial fitting various bits and getting ideas from other peoples builds. I've recently gotten to the point where I...

Thanks for the kind words.
Need to find the time to finish it
This thread is about two Optima Mid models in the SWB segment. One Turbo Optima Mid and one Turbo Optima Mid SE being built side by side (those two yellow cars in the picture above).
Parts are taken from several mid cars I have in various shape....

The build thread still lives on here
I referred to it many times during my ongoing Turbo Optima Mid SE thread.

Thanks for hosting all of that! It is such a bummer when images go away and I appreciate you archiving posts like this.
Finally I got these restore projects started. I have been collecting parts since may this year and I think I have all that's needed. As my other builds, these two cars will be built by using mostly second hand parts (in great condition).
Model...

Wow! Super nice sir! :shock:
Thanks Lars! These projects almost went a bit too fast after I finally got all the stuff needed.
They look fantastic buddy! I always think Kyosho had an off day when they designed the stickers for the Custom Special,...
