In august 1983, a mere half a year after its first, a brand new Kyosho device blew its more established competitors away on fifth JMRCA 1/12 Electrical Racing automobile Japan Nationals, held at a specially 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 motor racing automobile, as well as its bloodlines went strong into the FANTOM EP 4WD. The FANTOM EP 4WD revives its glory days while the very first on-road racing model and 9th addition on Kyosho Vintage Series!
The 1/12 on-road racing scene of the time featured a number of designs such as 3-point suspension system and 4-wheel separate suspension, 4WD ladder-chain drive + front one-way bearing system that usually didn’t create front drive but drove the inside wheel when power was applied through turns for stable cornering and minimal drive loss. The FANTOM EP 4WD pioneered specifications including the FRP chassis that created a suspension effect that delivered optimal weight stability on the inside wheel. The 2020 version model not just recreates the look and feel regarding the original, but also keeps the superior cornering speed and security, also on low hold surfaces, with its part-time 4WD and front one way. As with every Vintage Series models, each key component is consistent with the original design but happens to be enhanced to carry out the newest energy sources and deliver the FANTOM’s distinctive sharp management and control on contemporary RC circuits.
Experience high-performance driving because of the nostalgic avant-garde design and practical beauty associated with the 1/12 scale FANTOM EP 4WD!
The world's very first electric automobile to use a ladder chain drive and front one-way bearing. The technical dish has also been machined with a mounting hole in which a Kyosho LeMans 240S speed controller (No: 37051, sold separately) may be installed instead of a rotary speed controller. Reproducing the principal energy and gratification regarding the original Le Mans 480T, the Le Mans 480T Brushless engine (No.37033) with long shaft to match the Fantom is available as a choice.
Kit includes the BW Spider human anatomy that delivered triumph on first within Japan Nationals in 1983 using its brief nose design and excellent aerodynamic stability producing high downforce for fast steering faculties. Wing (No.EFW001) is also available as an alternative.
To carry out the increased power of modern engines, the initial resin front sprocket happens to be changed to a device cut metal one-way bearing holder for superior durability and reliability through the drive system.
Precision CNC machined motor mount is difficult anodized in white (clear). Low center of gravity is achieved through a lower motor mounting position that fits that the machine cut motor mount, that was an optional upgrade during the time of the original Fantom.
A corner axle comes with a height adjuster. Chassis height can be adjusted 1.3mm up-down by reversing the mounting direction. Also, the wheelbase may be changed 1mm by swapping the left and right adjusters, thus permitting adjustment of string tension.
Loaded with a 48-pitch gear differential integrating ball bearing that delivers smooth procedure, despite the side force for the original works-spec.
Stamped FRP components have actually all been upgraded to CNC cutting. Independent servo saver mount dish utilized in subsequent models normally included as standard. Change of human anatomy mount with grommet screws onto the radio plate allows chassis flex to be found in combination with 4WD for razor-sharp cornering performance. A corner axle can go freely, as included in Kyosho models because the Plazma.
Full bearing requirements. The screw utilizes a hex type which can be firmly tightened. Includes wheel hub and wrench for diff adjustment.
The kit includes one pair of pre-glued tires so a tire setter isn't needed. Original sponge tires have now been replaced with rubber sponge for significantly improved grip and opposition to wear. Tires happen changed toward latest super tough nylon for increased durability
