KYOSHO KYO30618C JAVELIN BUGGY KIT 4WD

The concept is "a machine to reach the pinnacle"—. Developed to achieve the strongest combat power and highest reliability, the Javelin, a pure competition model of electric off-road car released in 1986, has been revived as the sixth installment of the Vintage Series after more than 30 years. At the time, Land Jump pioneered the 1/8 engine buggy world with its innovative aluminum pipe frame body and gained popularity, but the pipe frame, which is even more stylish and lightweight due to its resin construction, has evolved remarkably, and the double wishbone suspension, which was praised for its high level of perfection, as well as the narrow backbone type skid frame, wide steering angle with ideal geometry, and the 4WD chain system shielded in the compartment house, which is the Javelin's greatest feature, have all been reproduced exactly as they were back then. Of course, as with previous Vintage Series models, it has also been brushed up to be compatible with modern power sources. The gear system, which is the core of the drivetrain, uses a counter gear with a slipper function, and the rear differential case, which is integrated with the final gear and is subject to load, is made of metal to increase strength. The gear module employs a finer 48-pitch design, reducing drive loss, and the use of nylon and sintered alloy materials improves both drive efficiency and quiet operation. In addition to the chain drive system, you can now choose from a belt drive system, which was an option at the time. Furthermore, the aluminum dampers, which reproduce the design of the original, have been enlarged to increase their potential. Combined with the long-stroke suspension, this achieves high driving stability. Why not rediscover the joy of off-roading with the Javelin, where a nostalgic feel coexists with the same mechanisms as current models?

● While faithfully reproducing the original Javelin, various parts have been upgraded to accommodate modern power sources.
● The aluminum inner roll bar has been significantly upgraded in durability through a revised material and change in thickness.
● The new wing stay is also compatible with the Optima (some body cutting is required).
● The rear wing, which generates high downforce, has been changed to a style that is fixed to the chassis. The base part also uses insert nuts to ensure a stronger fixation.
● In addition to the pastel green and fluorescent yellow lineup of the body and wing from that time, a new white color will be released simultaneously as an option. Furthermore, red and black are also scheduled to be released (May 2018). ●
The aluminum plate in front of the roll bar has been changed from being fixed with nylon belts to being fixed with screws for a more stylish look.
● Simple yet highly rigid aluminum backbone type chassis.
● Two drive systems are available: the compartment 4WD chain system that took the world by storm, and the 4WD belt system that was later released as an option.
● FRP mechanical plate that can accommodate ESCs from various manufacturers.
● The wheels retain the stylish design of the time, but have been made into a one-piece design to achieve weight reduction.
● Uses 18 full ball bearings. (16 used for chain versions)
● Hex type screws are generally used for secure tightening and ease of use.
● Separate helmet and polycarbonate body are included.
● The battery stay, which is compatible with various current batteries, uses hook-and-loop fasteners (a battery strap with the KYOSHO logo is included) for easy battery attachment and removal.
● Equipped with a metal counter gear.
