TOMAHAWK 85′ WORLD SPECS JOINS THE LEGENDARY SERIES

Here comes the recreation of the special-spec Tomahawk that competed in the inaugural 1985 World Championship！

At the inaugural IFMAR 1/10 EP Off-Road World Championship held in the United States in 1985, the latest racing buggies from around the world gathered to compete for the title. The Tomahawk led Kyosho’s charge in the 2WD class, including a works-spec machine driven by its designer, Akira Kogawa. 41 years later, this very works-spec Tomahawk has been revived!
Released as the 20th installment of the Kyosho Vintage Series in a limited production run, the Tomahawk ’85 World Championship Spec is based on the Tomahawk reissued in 2015. By incorporating newly developed parts and including optional components as standard, it faithfully recreates the World Championship entry model while delivering significant performance upgrades.
The Tomahawk’s signature ladder frame has been updated to stainless steel, while the rear suspension plate and gearbox plate are made from A7075 duralumin to enhance chassis rigidity. Although a stainless-steel frame was prototyped back in 1985, it was never commercialized, making this ’85 World Championship Spec its first production release.
The front suspension is reinforced with a combination of an integrated steel caster lock and a CNC-machined arm shaft lock. Newly designed FRP shock towers are used front and rear, and an FRP servo mount plate lowers the center of gravity, leaving no detail overlooked. In addition, numerous modifications, such as the addition of a rear wing and the inclusion of a ball differential as standard, both absent on the original Tomahawk, result in a finish worthy of the “World Championship Spec” name.
Celebrating the racer that helped define EP buggy racing at the first IFMAR World Championship, this kit delivers both historic authenticity and thrilling performance for nostalgic fans and new enthusiasts alike!
