2 yrs following the seismic impact of FANTOM EP-4WD’s debut winnings, the "FANTOM EP-4WD Ext" stunned the entire world by reaching the same feat against a far more competitive industry on 1985 Japan Championship.
Racing area conditions during those times were improving and battle platforms changed from the fiery 4-minute events to 8-minute endurance races. The "FANTOM EP-4WD Ext" was created to generally meet this trend.
Kyosho ended up being the first ever to introduce the chain + one-way 4WD system developed for 1/8 engine models into 1/12 electric race automobiles. The leading one-way system enabled capacity to be reproduced early in the day through corners, permitting more aggressive driving. On the other hand, energy effectiveness didn’t enhance therefore was at risk of stalling whenever power ended up being taken off.
in Ext, high-dimensional fusion associated with the 3P suspension reinforces flaws. 2.2mm suspension system swing is recognized through specifically shaped springs creating a "progressive springtime impact" by compressing the suspension according to the roll amount of the chassis when entering a large part, and then extending from when it begins clipping a great deal to minimize stall when power is flourished. At precisely the same time, energy efficiency is enhanced by reducing the time power is ON. The main framework happens to be enhanced with an evolved front suspension system to deliver increased rigidity from a reinforcing dish regarding front which allows optimal motion regarding the suspension. Integrating the direct servo saver in to the steering servo escalates the front load, enabling the framework to be shaped so your rear rolls and pitches flexibly in sync with all the front side. Oil damper is added for pitching control to boost the ground contact associated with rear.
whenever first developed, the Ext was dedicated to weight loss and its own 880g had been lighter compared to first generation. The commitment to lightweight remains inside relaunched variation with all the inclusion of lightweight knuckle hands and wheel peanuts. Please love this particular modernized form of Kyosho’s timeless classic, the "FANTOM EP-4WD Ext", that is the 11th model in the classic series.
The FANTOM was the very first electric R/C car on earth to look at the ladder string + front one-way bearing drive system, as well as in combination with a 3P suspension system system, delivered superior cornering rate and driving agility.
The CRC-2 body and its own track record of exceptional aerodynamic performance happens to be faithfully reproduced. The long front overhang and full-body wedge produces managing stability with just minimal aerodynamic variation as a result of speed. Includes decals to replicate the model regarding the package.
Special springtime produces a progressive suspension effect that changes in line with the number of roll and means suspension stroke, even yet in a small room. New front sprocket, unique move shaft (right just) and lightweight knuckle arm, deliver maximum steering angle.Compatible with optional carbon suspension system supply (No.EFW005).
Chassis is shaped to deliver rear suspension impact. Newly designed oil damper is equipped across the pitch way and features a 2mm shaft to attenuate changes in oil amount during stroke and ensure sufficient damping impact. High-precision CNC machined 3-piece motor mount and damper stick with oil damper produce dependable procedure.
Moving the height adjuster within the rear axle up, down, left and right, permits the vehicle height to be changed 1.3 mm as well as the wheelbase to be changed by 1 mm (also adjusting the chain tension). Initially an optional setting, the motor mounting position is lowered towards the exact same position once the machine-cut engine mount to produce a lowered center of gravity.
A fresh long-type 48 pitch 21T pinion gear with newly created differential is fully built with ball bearings to realize smooth procedure. Optional 16T to 27T pinion gears are available for a wide range of settings. Suitable for No.PNGS4816-4827 / No.W0118Z-W0119Z Lightweight Carbon Gear Differential Axle (No. EFW002).
CNC processing improves the precision of FRP components that have been originally press-processed. The 2-piece primary framework has mounting holes for the Le Mans 240S speed controller. The newly designed CNC machined aluminum servo mount works with with many mini servos for vehicles and includes a newly created direct servo saver with dual band springs to make sure durability and precision.
Full bearing specs. Hex screws throughout ensure greater integrity of screw tightness. Includes wrench for wheel hub and differential modification. (12 / 5.5 / 4.5 / 4mm) Unique damper wrench can be included.
Includes pre-formed and glued tires which do not require a tire setter. Front: φ48 / H38 ° back: φ53 / L25 ° Lightweight wheel peanuts are used. Optional small diameter tires (pre-formed and glued tires / H = 38φ45mm / L = 25φ50mm) (No. EFTH 100W) can be found.
●Recreates the design and atmosphere from the debut in 1985, with an intensive modernization of each and every component.
● FANTOM EP 4WD Ext faithfully reproduces the framework design including its identifying 3P suspension and ladder chain + front one-way bearing 4WD system.
● Features the exact same 3P suspension system structure from initial with a specially shaped spring in kingpin in the front plus machined aluminum oil damper in the backside for pitching control.
● Unique shape of the primary framework exerts similar suspension effect considering torsion whilst the original design. A reinforcing plate is layered on the front for extra rigidity.
● Redesigned for ESC compatibility as opposed to the rotary speed controller through the original, allowing brushless motor & ESC combination. Front dish features mounting holes for Le Mans 240S ESC.
● Newly designed machine-cut aluminum steering servo provides adjustable mounting that corresponds to different sizes.
● Newly created direct servo saver with a double band spring produces the spring price to appreciate improved dependability and direct steering feel.
● Machined aluminum back axle features a height adjuster apparatus that was not available into the original. Car height and chain tension could be modified.
● Long-type 48 pitch 21T long-type pinion gear is included as standard. 14T to 27T can be purchased in standard form as choices.
● Front and back tires have already been changed from original sponge to rubber-sponge compound on both front and rear, greatly improving grip and reducing tire wear, that was an issue during the time of the initial.
● Favored by competitive racers, similar CRC-II body design utilized by Junichi Koma for the FANTOM’s ‘win on first’ at the 1985 Japan Championship happens to be faithfully reproduced. Produces exceptional aerodynamic stability.
● Included decals and easy color can reproduce the design of the first package model. (The driver doll needs painting)
