Kyosho 31315T1 1/5 GP 2WD BIREL R31-SE Readyset Kart  [31315T1]

Kyosho 31315T1 BIREL R31-SE 1/5 Scale Racing Replica

The Kyosho 31315T1 was developed with input from BIREL to mirror the look and feel of an R31-SE kart in 1/5 scale. This Readyset captures the direct steering and compact chassis layout of a true racing kart, delivering a driving feel that differs from conventional on-road RC cars.

Engine Placement and On-Track Balance

The model uses the GZ15 engine mounted beside the driver to replicate the mass distribution of a full-size kart. That side-mounted engine layout keeps the center of gravity low and helps the kart respond predictably during cornering and acceleration.

Track-Proven Steering and Stopping

Kyosho recreated kart-specific elements like trail knuckles and a non-differential rigid rear axle to match authentic steering feedback. The straight muffler improves scale appearance while controlling exhaust noise, and the disk brake acts directly on the rear axle for dependable stopping power.

For hobbyists who want a scale-accurate kart experience, the Kyosho 31315T1 BIREL R31-SE pairs realistic handling with durable construction, suitable for practice laps and club-style running.
