Toy Fair 2010 – Kyosho

New from Kyosho is their 190mm competition touring car, which we have seen in various stages of development over the past few years. Called the TF6, everything is more centralized on the car and it is LiPo ready and more durable than the previous car with stronger rear drive cups. The front drive system, which we got the first view of at the DHI Cup, uses steel balls to provide forward drive between the drive cup and front drive shaft yet wont bind under suspension compression. The car is set to be released in May.

Kyosho’s all new Touring car

Seen for the first time in International competition, this pre-production version of the all new Kyosho Touring car is being raced at this year’s DHI Cup by European Championship finalist Christopher Krapp, who tells us that the new car is much better balanced for use with LiPos. Developed by Shin Adachi, it features bigger bore shocks, which are also longer, new shock towers front and rear, new rear hubs, new stabilizer points front and rear and a higher top deck for accommodating LiPo packs, such as the latest Team Orion version installed in his car. The motor mount is also new and brings the motor 1mm closer to the centre line for better weight distribution.

Kyosho Ultima Desert buggy Readyset

New from Kyosho is this 1/9th scale electric powered Ultima DB 2WD racing desert buggy ready set. Influenced from the actual buggies raced in the Baja area, this new buggy goes back to the old days of pipe framed buggies. The chassis is based on the Ultima SC meaning that the performance is guaranteed, with the chassis stretched from the original RB5 buggy and large enough to be considered a 1/9th scale. This ready to run Ready Set is not just a backyard basher but a fully race ready chassis with many of the high performance traits from the Ultima RT5.
