The Kyosho Tomahawk '85 WC Worlds Spec RC Buggy 2WD 1/10 Kit Delivers 1985 Racing Heritage With A7075 Duralumin Chassis And Peppermint Green Wheels
Historic 1985 World Championship Works Spec Recreation
Durable Stainless Steel Frame With Duralumin Plates
Smooth Handling Using Red Aluminium Oil-Filled Shocks
High Traction Medium Compound Tyres On Peppermint Wheels
An Absolute Blast For Any Skill Level To Rip Up The Dirt
The Kyosho Tomahawk '85 WC Worlds Spec RC Buggy brings the legendary 1985 World Championship works machine back to the dirt track. Replicating the exact vehicle driven by designer Akira Kogawa, this limited edition kit features iconic peppermint green wheels and a matching rear wing that capture the true essence of classic mid-eighties off-road racing. The foundation utilises a rigid stainless steel box-section ladder frame paired with A7075 duralumin rear suspension and gearbox plates to significantly increase structural integrity during demanding driving sessions.
Modern performance seamlessly blends with vintage aesthetics through the inclusion of a high-quality ball differential and a smooth slipper clutch that efficiently manages electric power delivery. Red aluminium oil-filled shock absorbers feature precision dial spring tension adjustment to soak up heavy landings, while the thick three millimetre fibreglass reinforced plastic shock towers keep the suspension geometry firmly locked into place. The lowered fibreglass servo mount plate shifts the weight distribution forward, ensuring the medium compound tyres find reliable grip through sharp corners.

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.
