Kyosho 20572Y Zephyr Smashing Yellow 1/18 Low-Altitude Racing Drone Readyset  [KY20572Y]

Close-Quarters Racing with the Zephyr

If you want a fresh perspective on racing, the Kyosho 20572Y Zephyr Smashing Yellow brings that low-level intensity. This 1/18 scale racer blends practical electronics with simple controls so both newcomers and seasoned RC flyers can enjoy tight, responsive flights.

Core sensors for stable low flight

Different from typical high-flying quads, this racer is tuned for very low altitude operation, holding steady about 35cm to 60cm above the surface. Ultrasonic range sensing and barometric feedback combine to keep the craft level, while a 6-axis gyroscope helps with nimble handling across grass, wet ground, or compacted snow.

Pistol-grip KT-231P+ controller familiar to car pilots

The included KT-231P+ transmitter uses a pistol-grip layout that many RC car pilots will recognise, making the transition to drone control more natural. The unit has a flight height adjustment switch so you can change altitude presets quickly during practice runs.

Tune prop angles for stability or pace

Kyosho engineered the Variable Propeller Unit Structure to let pilots set blade angles between 0 and 20 degrees. That lets you choose a stable, forgiving setup for learning or push the angle for more top speed when you feel confident.

Multiple built-in safety measures

Safety is built in with removable prop guards, an automatic prop stop mechanism, and an angle-triggered emergency stop. These systems help reduce damage and risk if control is lost during a flight session.

The Kyosho 20572Y Zephyr Smashing Yellow is a compact racer that balances safety and performance, making it a solid choice for pilots practising low-altitude flying or racing in tight layouts.
