New Kyosho 1/10 4WD buggy?
 

Hi, is there any info about any new 4WD? I heard rumors about this from a local guy

No New Buggy is due.

The real question is would anyone with real inside info actually spill the beans before Kyosho was ready?

If you don't mind me saying so, your comment is a little silly if you actually read the signature of who posted.

Being a worlds year, no doubt there will be the odd item and probably specific to the USA style track the event is held at. This happens with every manufacturer

Well the truth is this.
At Nuremberg this year we had a meeting with Kyosho President and executives, They told us no plans for new car at present but Tebo is working on few improvements being a Worlds year!

So we expect same option parts are likely, Maybe if Tebo does well or any other Kyosho driver they will release a WC Kit but there is no New Car as such in the pipeline.

We honestly think the FS2SP is a great car and no real need for Major change.

I have told this to all our team drivers so anyone else saying otherwise is just trying to cause some confusion.

You just have to remember there will always be a new car in the future. or for some brands next week :lol: You just have to choose what you want right now that will give you most satisfaction for your Hobby!!!

Why change a good thing I say :thumbsup:

Neil, is it true that one of Tebos upgrades moves the motor ?

Tebo trying all kinds of things! no point in speculating till we know what we will be released. also all developments are for the worlds track.

Word is, ali chassis, gear diffs and shorty lipo, you can see in one of the pics the motor has been moved.

There are a few pics floating about on rcinsider.com and also on rctech.net

shorty lipo's ... yuk :thumbdown: Hope there is also a possibility to place normal saddles, but I doubt it.

Other than that it will be a winner out of the box, superb quality that's for sure.

The price will probably reflect that as well.

It will also be the time to buy second hand fs2 cars for a bargain. Great times to come!

I like the alu reinforced front tower...it is the only part on my fs2 cars that breaks from time to time...even whilst having applied all tips about mounting the towers. This might be a bomb proof one!

having seen some videos of the 4wd I'm not surprised tebo has beefed up the shock towers etc seen the size of some of the jumps, the one at the back of the track is a total psychotic monster:woot:, the track is huge and looks mental fast, well its an 8th track, so I suspect there will be quite a few manufacturers with modifications, stronger cars etc

if all that comes of this is a stronger front shock tower, can be nothing but a good thing:thumbsup:

They did an awesome job on the RB6, was hoping the same for a new 4wd and I have to say I'm very happy with what I saw.

Nice shell, shorty (very nice as ai will be able to run the same kind of lipo for both) and overall lots of encouraging details :drool:

Can't wait to see more !

Price... That's a concern as it will be high.

Hmmm I wonder what the idea is behind the golf ball dimples on the rear wing?

I do know that Zipp use dimples on their high end carbon fibre racing wheels to improve drag reduction and to give a larger working range with regard to wind angle of attack relative to the wheel but not sure how any of that would relate to a fixed wing on 1/10th scale buggy?

not surprise me if they were playing with wings in wind tunnels, jumps the size of the ones on that track your wing will start to make a big difference as the car looked to be airborne for ages

Where are you guys finding these videos?

Neo buggy mate,if I was a cleaver person I'd post a link for you:blush:

this may or may not work

I think he just misses his old b44, so he has just had kyosho make him one :thumbsup:

With Aluminum Chassis & gear diffs?

Another shot

Layout wise it looks like they have turned the motor round to put the spur gear in the centre of the car, didn't they try that in the 2007 worlds before the FS came out?

zx6 prototype:

Is this the car made for the worlds?

similar layout to the xb4

This looks ready for production instead of just a prototype. Look at the moulded sides on the chassis ;-) and the anodising on the chassis ;-) very polished ! Would look nice next to a RB6 in somebody's garage ... :thumbsup:

I agree the anodizing makes it look pretty finished, but to be fair I also think the chassis looks a bit too open (sidepods don't really connect/merge into other parts - and looking at the RB6' styling I'd expect that on the ZX6 as well) - and small things like the large offset of the rear shocks on the shock tower (compared to the front) to me are small hints that it might not be done yet...

...Could it be that the sidepods are 3D printed, and they decided to spend a few extra bucks on an anodized chassis? (It's a big brand, it won't break their bank) :)

It looks like the motor is further forward compared to the likes of the B44 but not is extreme as the previous car. It looks good but it'll be expensive.

Looks very similar to the TRF 502, but works drivers seem to like the older 511. It all depends on the weight balance.Kyosho would have done there home work for sure. Looks like a good kit but not cheap.

Looks to be fairly production ready.

Shorty in a 4wd.......:wub

Any news about a releas date??

from some of tebos posts I think they were heading back to the drawing board for some adjustments,from how I read it,it was the designer who was least happy with it. All gone quiet since then

I think they may of hoped for the same as the rb6 but just didn't happen for any of the kyosho drivers they would have been better off using the old zx5

Agreed think with the very high grip dirt they would have been better using a chassis they were used to so they were not fighting the car and the track.

Think a new car is coming for sure. Not sure when but looking around shops sites I have noticed the zx5 stock is normally 0 or not even listed. maybe a sign…maybe not:confused:

Lazer zxr and zxs. These two cars is kyosho success !!!
I think in the future kyosho follow losi (xx4 is the same as 22-4) and produse these excellent cars...

ZX-S style would be sweet but I doubt it... Tebo seems to be working on the same prototype, Ronnefalk too.

I suppose this is a consequence of the coming ZX-6. ZX-5 sales are really low and shops only carry what people want to buy!

I bought a rb6 8 months ago and sold my pimped centro and thought what is all the fuss about but i tell you the rb6 is a great car and I have been racing on and off a long time and has now taken over from my traxas trx3 which was my all time favourite it's just so easy to drive and understand the setups.. The thing is 4 wd i have bought a lazer zx5 sp after what can only be said was a stinker of a sworkz and that car is the same just a great car but the question is after kyosho suffering at the worlds with the protype i mean even boots did pants and he a very good driver can they really improve it that much all the new cars look alike really now do you not think?

Available 30th June apparently....
