I missed this one because I’ve been overly excited about E3 (Sony had a couple nice surprises at their keynote today, if you missed it head to GameTrailers for the replay). Sorry about that. Anywho, Kyosho has a new 1/18 scale 4wd Buggy in the Mini Inferno. The Mini Inferno is a scaled down version of it’s bigger brother, the [...]
Well, today must be a day that ends in Y because Kyosho has announced another Mini-Z. Their new MA-010 AWD SP Limited kit is another limited edition (only 2000 will be made before the molds are thrown into a violently erupting volcano and lost forever!) Mini-Z. This one is in kit form and requires the separate purchase of the receiver/esc [...]
Kyosho‘s solid axled, stylish, monster truck, the Mad Force Kruiser, is getting a makeover. The Mad Force Kruiser VE readyset is ready to go with a ton of brushless power. It features Team Orion‘s Vortex brushless system with a 2000 Kv motor. Other features include hardened steel diffs, a shaft and chain drive train, full ball bearings, and a sealed [...]
Kyosho has a high-end addition to the Mini-Z line. The new MR-03N JSCC Edition is a limited run chassis with all kinds of option parts included as standard. A few of the options include a full ball bearing set, ball differential set, rear oil filled shock set, and carbon fiber friction shock set. The chassis is also compatible with the [...]
Kyosho is taking their Ultima SC RTR and turning it into a full blown race kit called the Ultima SC-R. Not a lot of info is available right now, but they do say that it’s going to be loaded with high performance parts from the other Ultima race kits like velvet coated shocks, a ball differential, and teflon shielded [...]
More news from the Shizuoka Hobby Show. Kyosho is showing off a new version of the well known Inferno MP9. The T.K.I. 2 is going to be Kyosho’s new flagship 1/8 scale buggy, destined to be sitting atop podiums around the world. There isn’t much other info about this new buggy yet, but it will be available in [...]
Courtesy of our friends at Hobby Media.It we have some hands-on pictures of Kyosho‘s recently announced nitro powered Formula-1 car, the KF01-GP, from the Shizuoka Hobby Show. It’s a fine looking automobile, even if it doesn’t conform to the new full-scale F1 specs.
New from Kyosho is the KF01 GP Formula 1 nitro vehicle! It’s got a 3mm aluminum chassis, and come in kit form, though I believe it will include a Siro motor. So all you need is electronics and a starter. I haven’t seen anyone racing Formula 1 at the local on-road truck, but it would be cool to see. [...]
Here’s Kyosho‘s next entry in their popular and championship winning Inferno line. The Inferno NEO is a complete RTR package, all you need is a glow igniter, batteries for the radio gear, and nitro. It comes loaded with a GX21BK big block engine, the same wheels as on the MP9 competition Inferno, a new super air flow body, [...]
Geezuss I’m getting tired of lame “teaser” press releases. A fine example of this was the tease put out by our broken English speaking friends at Kyosho America a couple weeks ago. The promise was “Something BIG” was coming from them. What did it turn out to be? Well the “BIG” news was that Kyosho America was opening up a [...]
This image popped up on Kyosho America’s web site. It’s pointing to an announcement of something big on May 1st. So what kind of big thing might it be? Could it be 1/5 scale gasser big? Or are they trying to be all ironical and the BIG announcement could end up being something small? Who knows. I guess we’ll all [...]
JConcepts is giving the new Kyosho Ultima SC some love today. They have announced that their very popular Illuzion Dare and Illuzion Manta bodies, which have been dressing up the Slash and SC10 since those heady early days of the short course class, are also a direct fit for Kyosho’s hot new entry in the short course arena. The Manta [...]
Hey Cub-ster, I know you guys are all about bashing and so am I (hence the reason I bought a Savage X as my first RC in twenty years and is my first nitro truck, I love it!). However, I am thinking about getting into RC racing and I think a good place to begin would be 2WD stock CORR events [...]
Check out a few pictures of this new 1:9 scale (that’s not a typo, they are saying 1/9th scale) ride from Kyosho called the Ultima DB. The DB stands for Dune Buggy, and is influenced by the actual buggies raced in the Baha area. The chassis is based on the Ultima SC and is stretched enough to [...]
