Kyosho 30635 FANTOM EP 1/12 Classic 4WD Racer  [KY-30635]

Heritage Reborn: Kyosho 30635 FANTOM EP

The Kyosho 30635 FANTOM EP 4WD combines original 1980s racing character with practical modern upgrades. Released in the Kyosho Vintage Series, it honours the car that raced in the 1983 JMRCA 1/12 Electric Racing Car Japan Nationals while adding parts to improve longevity and on-track behaviour.

Drive Layout and Handling Traits

The trademark ladder-chain drive and front one-way bearing deliver predictable cornering and reduced drivetrain loss on lower grip surfaces. This part-time 4WD arrangement keeps the handling balanced and faithful to the original racing setup.

Durable Upgrades for Real-World Racing

The FRP chassis and BW Spider body preserve the classic look while upgraded components increase robustness. A CNC machined motor mount and an integrated steel one-way bearing holder replace weaker resin parts, and rubber sponge tyres improve traction and longevity compared with the original sponge tyres.

Collectors and active racers will find the Kyosho 30635 FANTOM EP 4WD a satisfying mix of period styling and practical enhancements that make it track ready without losing its vintage appeal.
