Koswork Optima Mid Option Parts

Taiwanese brand Koswork has released two new option parts for the Kyosho Optima Mid 1:10 4WD Buggy.  For the Turbo Optima Mid Special, they have created a carbon upper deck which is specially designed to lower the weight and keep the rigidity.  With gold colour nuts installed & steel screws included to hold the belt dust cover in place firmly (the original Kyosho upper deck cannot hold the dust cover screws firmly) it is made from 2mm carbon fibre and is a direct replacement for the original deck.  The second new option is a Carbon Fibre Shorty Lipo Battery Mount Set.  Also designed for the Turbo Optima Mid Special but also working for the Optima Mid series, it is designed to hold the shorty battery pack in place.  The moveable battery holder is also cut from 2mm carbon fibre and is a direct fit upgrade over the original battery holder.
