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.

1:10 Scale Kyosho FW 05T Plus Mustang GT-R Concept Car RTR

Ford shocked the world with it's retro styled Mustang GT-R concept. 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 is already got excellent race breeding. Unlike most racers, however, it is 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 does not 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.

The "Plus" version of the FW-05T features aluminum threaded shock bodies for infinite chassis adjustments, front universal swing shafts, turnbuckle tie rods and V-One RRR rear hubs. These included hop up parts make this RTR as ready for the track as it is for the street.
