Kyosho TF6 Touring car
Having followed the car through its development stages, Kyosho Germany have announced that the TF6 touring car kit has just arrived in Europe and will be available in the next days. Developed by Kyosho Japan masterminds Shin Adachi and Kazuhiro Miyazaki and race proven by German international team driver Christopher Krapp, the TF6 is ready to hit the tracks worldwide. Equipped with a 2 belt drive train and a special ball outdrive system at the front and rear swing shafts, the car claims to set a new benchmark for on-road electric touring cars. Ready for the maximum power of the latest brushless motors and speed controllers, the chassis is able to handle both LiPo and classic NiMH batteries and shows the lowest possible CG for the best performance at the track. With podium finishes at the recent TITC race by Shin Adachi and A-Main attendance at the 2009 European Championships as well as winning the outdoor German National Championship by Christopher Krapp, this car will be a serious competitor for the world championship this year.

Isn’t this just a red Tamiya? and why not go all in on Lipo’s?
To call it a “benchmark” might be a bit of a mouthful but hopefully it will do well on the track anyway…

What up haters….LOL
Maybe you should look at the front universal setup, which will eliminate the need for double jointed cvds, or the hinge pin holders that use inserts instead of having to buy 5 sets of aluminum parts to change width and toe. There’s a lot of nice stuff in there, and I do own a 416…

Glad you like the hinge pin holders – I designed those for Kyosho over 5 years ago (I can prove it..lol)…..

special ball outdrive system at the front and rear swing shafts

the hinge pin holders are indeed old hat they were in the tf5.
as for the ball outdrives they allow smoother in and out movement as well as taking away the need for blades on the ends which go missing and also will stop that annoying diff outdrive breaking/balloning that puts you out of a race.
