Kyosho Optima Mid SE....help

I see nothing but driveline failure in your future. I'd go with a cc sidewinder esc so you could have punch control and limit the initial shock. a velineon motor would be decent.

agreed


i have one and i wouldnt even consiter putting a 19t brushed motor in it, take a look at how the chain goes together and you will understand why you cant run anything with torque

its a very cool buggy, you would be better off selling it and useing the money to buy something more moddern if you want to run a brushless system

The early optima's and Javelin's were chain drive. The new models came with hardened gears and belt drive like the current cars do now. This car has the belt drive system as well.
