Hirosaka KSC Classic 24 1:24 Training Car

Following on from the very well received announcement of its electronic collaboration with ORCA, Hirosaka Racing Products has sent us details of the Hirosaka KSC Classic 24 – The Reborn 1:24 Training Car.  Over nearly ten months, working closely with Masaaki Hirosaka, they have recreated the 1:24 RC car he originally used to train Masami Hirosaka – the very car that, through countless trials and refinements, set his son on the road to world championship glory.  As they mark this milestone 50th anniversary with the recreation of this pioneering spirit, in describing the Hirosaka KSC Classic 24 they state, ‘legends do not always begin on the world’s grandest stages; sometimes, they unfold in a quiet parking lot alongside a single, handmade machine.’  The origins of this machine lie in the very birth of 1:24 RC racing.  It was a class pioneered by Masaaki himself, born from the ingenious idea of ​​designing cars by skilfully repurposing bodies from plastic models and slot cars.  That small spark eventually gave rise to the legendary ABC Hobby “Royal Chassis” and ignited a nationwide craze.  For over two decades, the 1:24 car served as Masami’s most faithful practice vehicle, laying the foundation for the driving prowess that would conquer the world.  Limited to 100 kits, this product will be supported on an ongoing basis with spare parts, replacements, and upgrade option parts, so enthusiasts can enjoy it for years to come.
