I racking my brain trying to think of the name of a small scale buggy, smaller than 1/12 scale, that I remember seeing back in the late 80's. At least I'm pretty sure it was a Kyosho. Don't remember if it came RTR or not. I do remember it had a white body. Any ideas?

They were called Kyosho baja bug series and they were 1/20 scale. They used the same tamtech sized radio gear and mini batteriesthat the Kyosho HOR motorcycles used. there was an optima, ultima and salute. all were rear wheel drive only

I really like these buggies and have 6 of them.

Ahh, yes. That's the ones. I always wanted one. Thanks.

They did a 1/14 series called FA (factory assembled)
I have a Sky Bomber small Super Bomber, and they did an Optima as well
It was a direct competitor to Tamiya QD series
Marui did them as well, I have a 1/14 QD type Shogun

turbo optima 14x to be precise
