In august 1983, just half a year after its first, a whole new Kyosho device blew its well-versed rivals away throughout the fifth JMRCA 1/12 Electric Racing car Japan Nationals, held at an especially built track at Nakayama Racecourse Chiba Prefecture. RC on-road racing ended up being changed for a generation by the 1/8 FANTOM 20 EXP 4WD engine racing vehicle, and its bloodlines went strong inside FANTOM EP 4WD. The FANTOM EP 4WD revives its glory days as the first on-road battle model and 9th addition towards Kyosho Vintage Series!
The 1/12 on-road rushing scene of the time frame showcased lots of designs specially 3-point suspension system system and 4-wheel independent suspension system, 4WD ladder-chain drive + forward one-way bearing system that typically didn’t produce front drive but drove the within wheel whenever energy was applied through turns for stable cornering and minimal drive loss. The FANTOM EP 4WD pioneered specs like the FRP chassis that created a suspension effect that delivered optimal weight stability internally wheel. The 2020 variation model not just recreates the appearance and feel of initial, and keeps the superior cornering rate and protection, also on low hold areas, using its part-time 4WD and front an effective way. As with all Vintage Series models, each key component is in line with the initial design but was improved to handle the most recent power sources and deliver the FANTOM’s distinctive razor-sharp administration and control on modern RC circuits.
Experience superior driving because of the nostalgic avant-garde design and functional beauty related to 1/12 scale FANTOM EP 4WD!
The planet's first electric car to utilize a ladder chain drive and front side one-way bearing. The mechanical dish has also been machined with a mounting opening in which a Kyosho LeMans 240S rate controller (No: 37051, sold separately) might be set up as opposed to a rotary speed controller. Reproducing the key energy and satisfaction of this initial Le Mans 480T, the Le Mans 480T Brushless motor (No.37033) with long shaft to fit the Fantom can be obtained alternatively.
Kit includes the BW Spider body that delivered triumph on first at Japan Nationals in 1983 which consists of short nose design and exemplary aerodynamic balance creating high downforce for quick steering faculties. Wing (No.EFW001) generally available as a choice.
To carry out the increased power of modern engines, the very first resin front sprocket is changed to an integral device cut steel one-way bearing owner for superior durability and reliability through drive system.
Precision CNC machined engine mount is hard anodized in white (clear). Minimal center of gravity is accomplished through less engine mounting destination that matches set alongside the device cut engine mount, that's been an optional upgrade during the time of the very first Fantom.
The trunk axle comes with a height adjuster. Chassis height is modified 1.3mm up-down by reversing the mounting way. Moreover, the wheelbase might be changed 1mm by swapping the left and right adjusters, thus allowing modification of string anxiety.
Constructed with a 48-pitch gear differential integrating ball bearing that delivers smooth operation, inspite of the medial side force of this original works-spec.
Stamped FRP components have actually all been upgraded to CNC cutting. Independent servo saver mount dish found in subsequent models normally included as standard. Change of human body mount with grommet screws regarding the radio dish allows chassis flex to be employed in combination with 4WD for razor-sharp cornering performance. A large part axle can go freely, as a part of Kyosho models since the Plazma.
Complete bearing demands. The screw uses a hex sort that can be firmly tightened. Includes wheel hub and wrench for diff modification.
The kit includes one pair of pre-glued tires so a tire setter isn't needed. Original sponge tires happen changed with plastic sponge for dramatically enhanced hold and opposition to place on. Wheels happen changed towards the newest super tough nylon for increased durability
