Kyosho FW-05RR Chassis Kit (Sponge Tire spec.)

The high efficiency shaft driven performance benchmark set by the FW-05 has been lifted with the increased racing power of the FW-05RR (double-R). Outstanding performances through all heats were achieved at the 2004 1/10 GP Touring Car World Championship in Brazil, despite being the only car of its type at the event. However, despite the bitter disappointment in the final due to uncontrollable circumstances (that is the nature of car racing), the double-R's potential was the talking point among the world's top drivers.

Sharing many parts with the World Championship winning V-ONE RRR, a wide scope for setting adjustment is also realized. This machine represents the endless search for racing winning performance. Shaft driven 4WD drivers around the world will not fail to show improved results with this machine.

Kyosho Mini-Z Lite ML-010 R/S FIAT 500 Ready Set (White)

The MINI-Z Lit is 100% faithful to these principles, just smaller in size. The minimal size of the MINI-Z Lit even makes the MINI-Z Racer and AWD seem large by comparison. But the MINI-Z Lit has compromised nothing in performance and build quality. In fact, its size makes replication of scale compact cars even more realistic and accurate. More than anything else, the fascination of the MINI-Z Lit must be how sophisticated R/C components have been loaded into such a compact design. And as with all MINI-Z models,You can even make setting changes by connecting the onboard I.C.S. to your PC (requires I.C.S. PC Interface sold by Kondo Kagaku and PC). Never has so much performance technology been concentrated in an R/C racing machine of this size! The MINI-Z Lit represents a new wave of micro motor sports.

1:10 Scale Kyosho FW 05T Plus Ferrari 575GTC Team G.P.C. RC Car

In full-scale trim, the Ferrari 575 GTC is a bona fide race car. Kyosho captures the power and sleek lines of this purebred machine in the latest version of the FW-05T Plus RTR nitro touring car. This chassis is based on the FW-05R racecar so it¡¯s already got excellent race breeding. Unlike most racers, however, it¡¯s a design that also results in a durable, low-maintenance package that has unmatched value in the market.

The engine is one of the most powerful of its size, and the revolutionary pull-starter design doesn¡¯t slow down the engine or require any regular maintenance because there is no one- way bearing. The 4WD shaft-drive system is virtually maintenance-free compared to belt-drive cars and it produces lightning-quick acceleration. Even quicker acceleration results from the included two-speed transmission; second gear produces faster top speeds.

Combine all this with durable aluminum clutch shoes are installed for long lasting performance and this is a potent combination for the street or the track.

FW-05 PLUS also includes front universal shafts, threaded aluminum oil shocks, turnbuckle linkage rods to make adjustment quick and easy, and V-One RRR rear hubs for more adjustability and better performance. All you need to bring is fuel and batteries to start the race. This is the same car used in Kyosho World Cup competition throughout the World!
