Description

The Kyosho Tomahawk is a triumphant return of a true RC legend. This reimagined icon captures the spirit of the original Tomahawk, a buggy that dominated off-road racing in the 1980s, while incorporating modern technology and performance enhancements for today's enthusiasts. The Tomahawk retains the classic Spartan double-deck design and aggressive styling, but with upgraded materials and components throughout.

The Tomahawk features a durable and lightweight 6061T6 forged aluminium chassis, providing exceptional strength and rigidity. The two-piece die-cast aluminium gearbox with differential gears and an included slipper clutch delivers smooth and reliable power transfer, while precision 48-pitch gears ensure precise control and responsiveness. The flat under-surface of the countersunk chassis minimises contact resistance and scraping, enhancing durability for off-road adventures. Stainless steel shafts and aluminium cylinders in the oil shocks provide a smooth and consistent damping action, delivering a true racing buggy experience.

This re-release is not simply a reproduction of the original machine. Each key component has been updated with modern R/C racing technology and power sources to produce superior circuit performance. Many will appreciate its nostalgic style, but eliminating the radio box to reduce weight and side mounting of the battery for optimal weight distribution sharpens the edge of the Tomahawk for the pure enjoyment of true racing performance.

Whether you're a seasoned racer who remembers the magic of the original Tomahawk or a newcomer eager to experience a classic design with modern performance, the Kyosho Tomahawk is a must-have.
