The Tomahawk led Kyosho\u2019s 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!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Released as the 20th installment of the Kyosho Vintage Series in a limited production run, the Tomahawk \u201985 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.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">The Tomahawk\u2019s 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 \u201985 World Championship Spec its first production release.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">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 \u201cWorld Championship Spec\u201d name.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">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!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">SPECIFICATIONS<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf Special edition Tomahawk, one of the top 2WD buggies of the mid-1980s.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf Recreation of the 1985 1\/10 EP Buggy World Championship worksmachine features enhanced performance and compatibility with modern R\/C systems, motors, and batteries.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf Styled after the car driven by designer Akira Kokawa at the 1985 World Championship.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf Includes peppermint green front\/rear wheels and rear wing as standard.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf Reinforced frame, suspension, and drivetrain improve overall performance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf New servo mount with holes for mounting the Kyosho Le Mans 240S ESC.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf High-efficiency universal swing shafts included as standard.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf Ball differential, which was previously an optional upgrade, is now equipped as standard.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf Slipper clutch supports smooth power delivery, including brushless motor setups.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf Rear suspension and gearbox plates are A7075 duralumin with gunmetal finish.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf Medium compound tires on front and rear provide strong grip.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u25cf Body is identical to the standard Tomahawk, with newly designed decals included.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">TECHNICAL DATA&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8211; Length: 380mm<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8211; Width: 236mm<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8211; Height: 152mm<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8211; Wheelbase: 263mm<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8211; Tread (F\/R): 198mm \/ 195mm<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8211; Tires (F\/R): \u03a675\u00d720mm \/ \u03a685\u00d741mm<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8211; Gear ratio: (H specification) 6.9:1 \/ (L specification) 8.3:1<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8211; Weight: approx 1500g (with GAB4202 \uff09<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8211; Motor: 540 class size (sold separately)<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n<p><strong>Wer ist KYOSHO EUROPE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"30 Jahre KYOSHO Europe - Christophe Bouvet im Interview und Neuheiten Spielwarenmesse 2025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_dhJZc2pEYM\" width=\"474\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Es gibt \u00fcbrigens auch ein Sondermodell auf Mini-Z Basis.
