Mega RC car massive unboxing

[@leeball4]

We're gonna need a full build series, gents. Mark building the mechanicals and Carl doing up the shell. Surely, Steve deserves to have a documentary of his dream car being built.

[@PopalongRC]

Only time will tell

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Optima Pro and a gold motor. Makes you go...."OOooorrrrr". Nice work RC Steve.

[@PopalongRC]

Oooooooooorrrrrr

[@dankforest]

Very entertaining vid boys. I like watching this kind of stuff. Keep up the good work. Ready for indoor season?!? I am!

[@PopalongRC]

Getting there

[@Pablo668]

Very nice guys. Those Kyosho re-re's go together so well. Should be a straight forward build. Also, I love the Scorpion chassis/derivatives. They handle so well for what they are.

[@PopalongRC]

Good to know

[@bradkalman2353]

You should see their brushed motors.They're even more beautiful that they used to make.

[@stuartridsdale3764]

Beautiful car! After not so much as looking at an RC car for about 25 years I recently saw they'd re-released the 80s classics. Currently building the childhood dream, the Ultima! Very much rekindled my love of RC cars and after finding your channel I've also sneaked a TT-02 past the Mrs with a view to some on road racing. Your videos are entertaining and really helpful!

[@PopalongRC]

Glad to hear it

[@davidawilliams1782]

I had a Mardave Mini converted to 7.2v and Mardave Cobra sport running a Green Machine 2 back in the 90s, great times 👍👍👍👍👍

[@PopalongRC]

Nice

[@AddamsPlayground]

I just got done building mine, it is a treat to build. The stickers are a bit of a challenge though. They are the stickiest of stickers and half of them overlap each other or go on tp of each other so I would highly suggest the soapy water method of applying them!

[@PopalongRC]

Good to know

[@lo2713]

Ive only seen one of these cars built and they look stunning, looking forward to seeing the build on this one, but. Are we going box art 🤔

[@alantaylor353]

RC Steve.!! 👍 👍 👍

[@PopalongRC]

Becoming a legend

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Kyosho really know how to do box presentation don't they?! It seems almost a shame to have to damage the packaging to build the car, but if I got one I'd definitely have to build it and race it, no doubt about that! Awesome stuff!!

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy

[@crow7291]

Got to keep the boxes!😁 RC Steve is a top fella by all accounts 👏🏻 👍🏻, need myself one of the optimas. 😊 bring it to them and they will build it, car of dreams. 😁

[@davidwatson22]

Morning Gentlemen, your a lucky pair to get a kyosho Optima there such a beautiful and cool looking car. After watching the iconic off-road started to watch vids of builds. As a racer they look a bit of a pain to work on at track to access the diffs . I'm still being pulled more to the Tamiya Wild one even though bi would never take part in an iconic event , too many rules for me . Have a fun time on the build Mark.

[@PopalongRC]

Fun time or long time

[@johnnyhaberfield721]

I have many a box,i mean projects on the go ..some boxes only have boxes in them.I found a Ftx Dr8 in a box the other day and i cant remember who gave me that,could have been that Steve..Label things is my new advice to myself when boxing stuff.✌️

[@PopalongRC]

Hahaha

[@Timson254]

I feel like he should have sent a Kyosho LeMans 240S esc - just to keep it all Kyosho and ‘in keeping’ with that beautiful motor. Think the blue hobbywing will look out of place.

[@chuck8e5t]

Love these cars ive got the beetle and optima mid, absolute plesure to build

[@PopalongRC]

Looking forward to it

[@wizardwithguns1]

I don’t race vintage cars, but if I did, it would be an optima.

[@GeeShocker]

Good morning mates! Off to work.... 😁

[@PopalongRC]

Have a good one

[@Garfieldsteve]

Why you no like me (Ginger steve) DJ'd at my wedding.😂

[@PopalongRC]

You’re not ginger Steve… clearly you are Garfield Steve… it’s literally your name

[@scotthillier2154]

Morning gents……

[@PopalongRC]

Evening

[@fatboysrc2024]

I remember the first time I saw a Kyosho and it was a beetle. I was 14-15 years old and it was the 1980s. I just got my Tamiya Grasshopper and put a 540 motor in it. My jaw dropped when my mate took the top off the beetle. It made my grasshopper look very under engineered and cheap. The Kyosho models have always been great quality.

[@PopalongRC]

Not wrong there bud

[@dj4monie]

Why you comparing an entry level, cheap and cheerful (according to it's owners) Grasshopper to a Kyosho? By that logic when Kyosho released the Optima while Tamiya was releasing kit for hobbyist not racers, the Optima and Mid Engine Optima have always had racing in-mind.

[@fatboysrc2024]

@@dj4monie I was 14-15 years old and I was surprised how good it was. Not really comparing them as like for like.

[@fencer39]

Just looking inside the box is a work of art ! Bought one of these a few weeks I just cant bring myself to ruin the beautifully presented packaging !. Good luck guys ....but please NOT your god awful paint scheme !

[@PopalongRC]

Hahaha harsh

[@CassieRowlands]

Not more cars 🤦🏻‍♀️
