| Kyosho Le Mans 480T brushless motor Posted: 28 Apr 2020 01:24 AM PDT Kyosho is in full vintage swing these days, announcing not only their forthcoming Fantom EP-4WD vintage 1/12th scale 4WD pan car kit but also a nice brushless motor to go along with it. The 21.5T Le Mans 480T motor takes design cues of the original “8-minute racing” Le Mans 480T but it utilises modern day brushless technology for greatly increased power, reliability and of course it does away with the need to cut the commutator and replace the brushes. The power plant also features a 2mm longer motor shaft for easier pinion gear fitment with the unique Fantom EP-4WD drivetrain and it comes as 480T with a green label and green anodised end bells, but it includes parts to convert it into a blue-toned 480S, using a new sticker and blue end bells.

The clutch bell was designed to allow for the use of bigger pinion gears, namely 18T to 20T first gear and 23T to 25T second gear pinions, allowing for a greater transmission setup window. The clutch bell is made of high-quality aluminium and it comes with a hard surface finish for wear and looks.

| VRP D819 carbon fibre fuel tank heat shield Posted: 28 Apr 2020 12:55 AM PDT VRP have done up a carbon fibre fuel tank guard for the HB Racing D819 buggy. The guard will keep the pipe from ever burning into the fuel tank as well as keeping the tank from absorbing excess heat from the engine’s exhaust pipe. Easily bolts right onto the upper two screw holes on the side of the tank. The guard is cut from 1mm carbon fibre in house at VRP in Houston, Texas.

| Kyosho reveal full Fantom EP-4WD details Posted: 28 Apr 2020 12:27 AM PDT Following a series of high-quality images Kyosho have fully unveiled their forthcoming Fantom EP-4WD 1/12th scale electric on-road re-release kit. The original car made its debut early in 1983 and it pretty much blew the competition at the 5th JMRCA 1/12 Electric Racing Car Japan Nationals, held at a purpose-built track in Nakayama. The 1/12th scale class was a melting pot of different designs back in the day and the Fantom spearheaded them all with its balanced FRP chassis layout and chain-driven 4WD drivetrain with front one-way bearing. Fast forward to today, the 2020 model not only recreates the look and feel of the original, but also maintains the superior cornering speed and stability, even on low grip surfaces, with its part-time 4WD and front one way. As with all Kyosho Vintage Series models, each key component is consistent with the original design but has been improved to handle the latest power sources and deliver the Fantom’s distinctive sharp handling and control on modern RC tracks. The mechanical plate has been machined with a mounting hole where an optional Kyosho LeMans 240S speed controller can be mounted in place of a rotary speed controller. Reproducing the dominant power and performance of the original Le Mans 480T, the Le Mans 480T Brushless Motor with long shaft to fit the Fantom is available as an option. To handle the increased power of modern motors, the original resin front sprocket has been changed to an integrated machine cut steel one-way bearing holder for superior durability and reliability through the drive system. The precision CNC machined motor mount is hard anodised in clear and a low centre of gravity is achieved through a lower motor mounting position that matches that of the machine cut motor mount, which was an optional upgrade at the time of the original Fantom. The rear axle is equipped with a height adjuster. Chassis height can be adjusted 1.3mm up-down by reversing the mounting direction. In addition, the wheelbase can be changed 1mm by swapping the left and right adjusters, thereby allowing adjustment of the chain’s tension. Stamped FRP components have all been upgraded to CNC cutting. An independent servo saver mount plate used in later models is also included as standard. The kit includes a set of pre-glued tyres as well as the BW Spider body that was used to win the Japan Nationals in 1983 with its short nose design and excellent aerodynamic balance producing high downforce for quick steering characteristics. The kit is set for a release in July. Key features: Source: Kyosho [kyosho.com] The post Kyosho reveal full Fantom EP-4WD details appeared first on Red RC. |
| Kyosho KRF nitro on-road clutch adjustment wrench Posted: 27 Apr 2020 11:58 PM PDT Coming soon from Kyosho is their new KRF clutch spring adjustment wrench for 1/8th and 1/10th scale nitro kits. Machined from aluminium the tool is lightweight and easy to use while its compact dimensions ensure minimal interferences with the clutch’s surroundings, such as receiver boxes. The clutch spring wrench is usable with common centrifugal-axial IC track clutch systems such as the one found on Kyosho’s own R4 1/10th 200mm nitro kit series.
