Need help to identify

[SHY]

Guys, this is a Kyosho Optima with belt drive.

Is the belt drive a conversion?

And what more could be told about this?
-year
-exact model

(apart from the fact that it has a JG Truck Conversion Kit)

Cheers

Could be a Turbo Optima from 1986. Does it have an aluminum undertray?

The belt was an Option House conversion kit.
Nice JG truck conversion!

Thx!

Here's a pic of the underside:



Very interesting btw that "JG" name! It stands for John Gudvangen, which does sound VERY norwegian! Sounds like a character from the movie Flaaklypa Grand Prix

I think I found the american on Facebook, but never got a reply from him. Just wanted to know if his ancestors came from Norway...

Okay, no Turbo then as it does not have the undertray nor swaybars. Also seem to have front arms for the first Optima.

Then it boils down to:
Kyosho Optima
Artnr: #3032
Year 1985?
Belt conversion kit (Option House)
Truck conversion kit (John Gudvangen, JG)
Gold shocks upgrade (Option House)

Here is a pic of the JG conversion kit. Your wheels might be dyed baby blue at some point?
