Since its re-release in 2022, the Fantom EP-4WD Ext has garnered widespread acclaim from both new enthusiasts and those familiar with its original iteration. Now, as Kyosho celebrates its 60th anniversary, this model embarks on a new journey. This 12th model in the vintage series features a captivating transformation with all aluminium parts anodised in a golden finish and sleek black wheels front and rear.

Responding to popular demand, Kyosho has equipped the Fantom EP-4WD Ext with a newly developed ball differential, a feature absent in the original 1985 version. The reinforced lightweight carbon shaft ensures smooth cornering performance on various surfaces such as asphalt and carpets. The rear shock has been upgraded to the EFW014 rear adjustable shock, enhancing driving precision and allowing for better road adherence by widening the rear width.

World First Chassis

The FANTOM was the first electric R/C car in the world to adopt the ladder chain + front one-way bearing drive system, and in combination with an integrated 3P suspension system, delivered superior cornering speed and driving agility.

Progressive Suspension

That Fantom features incredible handling and maximum steering angle, thanks to the special spring and newly designed front sprocket, swing shaft, and knuckle arm.

Engineered Suspension

The Fantom chassis is engineered for a rear suspension effect, featuring a newly designed top mounted oil damper and high-precision motor mount for smooth, reliable operation.

Adjustable Setup

The Fantom has been designed to allow you to fine-tune the car's performance with adjustable ride height, wheelbase, and motor mounting position for optimal balance and control.

High Performance Drivetrain

A new long-type pinion gear and ball-bearing-equipped differential have been included with the Fantom to deliver a smooth and efficient power transfer, with a wide range of optional pinion gears available for customisation.

Special Anniversary Shell

The CRC-2 body and its reputation for excellent aerodynamic performance has been faithfully reproduced. The long front overhang and full-body wedge produces handling stability with minimal aerodynamic variation due to speed. Includes decals to recreate the model on the package.
