Kyosho optima mid. There where several models though, not sure which one that is. Good luck. It was a good car.

standard optima mid, better shocks than the later SE version.
You can get a ton of info in the Kyosho forum in the vintage section at RC10Talk.com http://tinyurl.com/RC10Talk-com

You like the Gold better than the Platinums?

As for the parts, they arent too difficult to find for the most part. I restored a Mid SE a couple years ago and had a blast doing so. I really enjoyed tracking down the parts from all over the world. As mentioned in a previous post RC10Talk has a lot of good information on all the vintage cars.

The info is great . I will be able to find parts on eBay now that I know what it is.

The Gold's are supposed to be much easier to tune.

I remember back in the day that everyone liked the gold's better even though the platinum were supposed to be an upgrade. I don't remember if it had to do with leaking or smoothness though since I didn't have a Kyosho. I knew several people that were running the golds on their RC10's. They were probably the best shocks of the era.
