Kyosho 30618 1/10 Javelin Vintage-Inspired 4WD Buggy  [KY30618]

Classic Javelin Styling with Robust Chassis Engineering

The Kyosho Javelin returns as a faithful recreation that merges classic aesthetics with tougher modern hardware. The 1986 original influenced this Legendary Series edition, which keeps the visual identity while improving serviceability and strength.

Backbone Chassis and Steering Advantages

The resin pipe-frame body evokes the original aluminum structure and mounts to an aluminium backbone skid. Double wishbone suspension geometry gives predictable steering response and clearance for wide wheel travel, while the sealed 4WD chain-drive setup stands up to heavy use.

Precision Gearing and Optional Drive Formats

A counter gear with built-in slipper function sits in a metal final gear case to increase load tolerance. The accurate 48-pitch gears reduce drivetrain losses and a combination of nylon and sintered alloy components balances longevity and quiet running. Builders can choose the stock chain drive or fit a belt arrangement to tune performance.

Authentic Look with Practical Enhancements

Original colourways like white, pastel green and fluorescent yellow roll cages remain, and new red and black options broaden the palette. Reinforced aluminium inner roll bars and a redesigned wing stay improve rigidity and downforce, and the chassis accepts the Optima wing after small adjustments.

This release suits tuners and retro enthusiasts who want a buildable kit with genuine period looks and contemporary mechanical choices for racing or recreation.
