Kyosho dNaNo FX-101 1/43rd scale Categories - Kyosho, Electric On Road, Cars, Products - comments closed 
Seen here first at the start of February, Kyosho have released full details of their new dNaNo concept on its dedicated, Japanese only, website. These 1/43rd scale cars make the company’s Mini-Z line look big, yet they are extremely detailed and are true radio controlled race cars. Available in 3 different chassis versions, with varying wheelbases and motor positions, the cars are controlled by Kyosho’s KT-18 2.4GHz radio system and are kept stable on the track, we are told, through the use of a mini built in gyro. Powered by a tiny 3.7V 130MAh LiPo cell, the car sports a rear differential and power is supplied through a micro coreless motor, originally found in mobile phones to produce the vibration, but then optimised. To enable the racer to easily compete on different tracks, each car is supplied with its own IC Tag (transponder), which you can see as in blue on the bottom of the car in the picture above. If you want one you will have to wait, but that will give you time to choose between the Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari 360 Modena, Murcielago LP640, Nissan Skyline GT-R, Porsche 962C LH and finally the Mazda 787B.

Over the weekend we showed you pictures from R/C Car magazine of the new prototype Kyosho Stadium truck during testing, with the working name of RT-5 or RB5-T. Now their counterparts at RC Car Action have gotten their hands on a clean prototype for a more close up look at the car as well as some fresh new studio pictures. RCCA don’t have many more details about the truck that we didn’t already know but confirmed that the chassis is an extended version of the RB5 buggy, which will push the truck out to the maximum allowable ROAR legal wheelbase. A lot of the carbon parts, including the shock towers and front body post mount, will be moulded parts in the production version, and of course the carbon wishbones will be replaced by the standard moulded type. Longer aluminum-body threaded shocks will be standard and the truck will probably feature the same C-hubs, steering knuckles and rear hub carriers as the RB5 for parts compatibility between vehicles.

Kyosho RT-5 Stadium truck Prototype Categories - Kyosho, Electric Off Road, Cars, Products - comments closed
Our US Magazine partners R/C Car have the first pictures of the new Kyosho Stadium truck that was spotted in secret testing at one of the magazines local tracks in Southern California. The RT-5, as it is currently being called, is a 1/10 scale off-road electric stadium truck, which Kyosho reps stress is still highly pre-production and in full testing mode. The RT-5 is based upon Kyosho’s popular RB-5 electric buggy and in fact shares RB-5’s transmission and tranny ratio. The car, as you would expect has a longer chassis, longer suspension arms, and longer shocks than the RB-5 and the double-thick carbon-fibre shock towers seen in the photos are still undergoing testing with production versions perhaps being molded, fibre or carbon fibre. There is no official release date yet, but Kyosho will debut the RT-5 in mid-March at the Cactus Classic in Phoenix, Arizona, where a Kyosho engineer from Japan will join the team to help with further development.
