Kyosho 31043K Rally Performance Packed in 1/9 Scale
The Kyosho 31043K brings genuine rally character to the hobbyist, combining 1/9 scale authenticity with nitro power and Citroen C4 WRC styling. Built to tackle loose gravel or smooth tarmac, this model delivers engaging handling and scale detail for weekend track sessions.
Powertrain and Drive
Under the shell the model uses the GXR18 engine with a recoil starter and a separate-type clutch for direct throttle feel. Its long wheelbase chassis and three-differential full-time 4WD layout deliver steady traction and predictable drift control so you can push corners with confidence.
Chassis and Suspension Setup
The kit includes a finely detailed body with clear-lens headlights and rally-pattern pneumatic rubber tires that look the part on any surface. Independent four-wheel suspension gives plenty of travel for high speed stability, while knuckle-mounted rock guards help prevent stones and debris from jamming wheel movement.
Serviceability and Tuning Options
Maintenance is straightforward thanks to a removable dirt-resistant radio box and an oversized air cleaner. Dual disk brakes let you tune front and rear bias independently, and the 103cc fuel tank supports extended run sessions. Adjustable ride height, camber, tread and toe settings let you tailor handling, and optional clutch springs or stabilisers are available for further refinement.
Citroen C4 WRC Inspiration
The scale body honours the Citroen C4 WRC legacy, a car noted for its 2.0 liter turbo engine and race-oriented 6-speed gearbox. The Kyosho 31043K channels that competition pedigree and celebrates the C4 WRCs successes, including its Tour de Corse win in 2008.
