Overview

Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

Based on the solid foundation of the Scorpion, the Tomahawk was modified and launched as a pure racing vehicle. On its release, the Tomahawk swept challengers away from Japan and around the world to create a legend that is still remembered by many R/C racers today. In response to many requests from R/C fans, Kyosho is proud to add the Tomahawk as the 3rd Immortal model in the Vintage Series.

Incorporating metal parts from the 2014 Scorpion — including the 6061T6 aluminium main frame chassis, forged suspension arms, and 2-piece aluminium diecast gearbox with built-in diff gears — the Tomahawk retains its characteristic Spartan double deck. The new Tomahawk is not simply a reproduction of the original machine: each key component has been updated with modern R/C racing technology. Eliminating the radio box reduces weight, and side mounting of the battery provides optimal weight distribution.

Aluminium Arms

Aluminium Shock Absorbers

The oil shocks, with their aluminium cylinders and stainless steel shafts, deliver smooth and effective damping. The signature colour caps pay homage to the original, adding a touch of nostalgia.

Iconic Body Shell

Relive the glory days of RC racing with the Tomahawk's iconic body design, faithfully recreated from the original mould. The included driver figure and dust cover add a touch of realism and nostalgia. The realistic look roof light buckets have been added for additional scale detail.

Lightweight Chassis

The Tomahawk shares the Scorpion's robust chassis structure and materials, but with a key difference: the removal of the radio box reduces weight by 80g, enhancing agility and performance.

Improved Rigidity

The Tomahawk's chassis features enhanced rigidity, thanks to the resin clamp that secures the front of the lower deck. This upgrade improves handling and provides a more stable platform for the electronics.
