Kyosho Javelin Orange 1/10 Scale 4WD Buggy – KIT

Introduction

Javelin Orange 1/10 Scale 4WD Buggy – KIT from Kyosho – KYO30618B

Version Info: This buggy is a KIT, and as such will require electronics, paint, tires and other equipment (see Requires below for details).

The Javelins design concept was to create A machine that redefines what it means to be the best. After more than 30 years since the original release in 1986, this electric off-road competition model has been recreated as the sixth model in the Kyosho Vintage Series. Incorporating a resin pipe-frame body resembling the innovative aluminum pipe frame body of the 1/8 scale Land Jump engine powered buggy, the new Javelin features the proven performance of double wishbone suspension with a narrow backbone-style skid frame that delivers ideal geometry for wide-angled steering. This combines with the Javelins superior sealed compartment 4WD chain-drive system to produce excellent performance and durability.

At the heart of the external features that faithfully represent the image of the Javelin of 30 years ago, this Vintage Series version is packed with modern racing performance potential and is compatible with modern power sources. At the heart of the drive system is a counter gear equipped with slipper function and a final gear case made from metal to strengthen its load bearing capacity. The adoption of precision 48-pitch gear modules reduces power loss and the optimal combination of nylon and sintered alloy delivers both improved drive efficiency and reduced noise. In addition to chain drive, the drive system can also be changed to a belt system, which was optional in the original model. Also, the large diameter aluminum shocks, recreated in the original design, combine with long stroke suspension to deliver increased performance potential.

Rediscover the joy of off-road buggy racing with the latest in racing technology and the nostalgic style of the Javelin and it is backed by Motion RC’s world-renowned customer service and technical support. Drive on!
