Wrong car range there, all Optimas were the same wheelbase.


The Optima has 1.6" 5 spoke wheels with Sand Super spike tyres, Pro has the 2" white pepperpot wheels with Option House Bridgestone spike tyres.

Optima comes with manual speed controller on grp top deck, with steering servo mounted in front of the battery pack. Optima Pro had no MSC, with the battery pack moved forward and the steering servo mounted vertically behind the battery, in the same location as the speed control servo in the original Optima. The top deck in the Pro is moulded plastic.

The Optima body didn't have an undertray, the Optima Pro has a 'ground effect' style aerodynamically shaped undertray.

The Optima, being the first kit, was missing a lot of the uprated parts in later models. The Optima Pro included the Turbo shock mounts and wishbones, which included the fixing mounts to attach the Option House gold shocks. The original Optima predated the gold shocks so they weren't able to be fitted until the suspension parts were upgraded.
