Authenticity shines with a replica of Akira Kogawa’s 1985 championship machine. Peppermint green wheels and a matching rear wing define the signature look. Kyosho includes special parts to recreate the Works team presence, providing a nostalgic yet performance-oriented experience that mirrors the original racing legend.

Built to handle hard circuit driving, the ladder frame uses bent stainless steel square pipes. Rigidity increases through the 7075 duralumin rear suspension plate and gearbox mount. Such a robust structure ensures the buggy maintains its geometry under extreme racing loads, providing a stable foundation for high-speed off-road action.

Durability improves with front and rear Shock stays upgraded to 3mm (0.12") thick black FRP. Replicating the 1985 World Championship configuration, these components offer superior strength over standard aluminium parts. Enhanced rigidity at the shock mounting points results in more precise suspension response and better consistency on rough tracks.

Aluminium oil Shocks feature a red case and a dial-type spring tension system. Finer adjustments are possible compared to standard stopper types, allowing precise tuning for different track surfaces. These world championship-inspired units ensure smooth damping and consistent handling, helping the 2WD buggy navigate technical sections with ease.

Steering geometry remains stable thanks to a steel front caster lock with integrated ball pivots. High rigidity comes from the aluminium machined arm shaft blocks, offering better precision than die-cast alternatives. Handling stays sharp as the front suspension resists flex during high-speed cornering, ensuring the buggy follows your intended line.

Improved turning performance arrives via the included ball differential. Slipping under excessive loads ensures high traction and prevents drivetrain damage during aggressive acceleration. Performance at corner apexes is refined, allowing the buggy to rotate smoothly through turns while maintaining efficient power delivery to the rear tyres.

Reliability increases with a completely new rear wheel hub design. Mounting rigidity improves by fixing the hub directly to the wheel ribs, preventing loosening during intense driving. Maintaining a secure connection ensures consistent power delivery from the gearbox to the wheels, reducing maintenance intervals during a race meet.

Handling performance benefits from a newly designed FRP servo mount plate. Positioning the servo closer to the front optimises weight distribution and lowers the centre of gravity. Increased front load results in more aggressive turn-in and better control, allowing for a more responsive feel when navigating tight racing circuits.

Added stability with a peppermint green resin rear wing and a newly designed mount. Aerodynamic balance is achieved by adding downforce to the rear of the buggy. Matching the signature wheels, this part completes the 1985 World Championship aesthetic while providing the necessary grip for high-speed straightaways.
