Kyosho R246-2002 Gambado Route 246 KYOSHO CUP Edition Touring Car  [R246-2002]

Track-focused performance with the Kyosho R246-2002

The Kyosho R246-2002 FF Gambado Route 246 KYOSHO CUP Edition is built to excel on tight club tracks, combining race-bred parts and thoughtful engineering. This limited-run variant blends precision components with a chassis layout that suits competitive touring car pilots.

Chassis layout and handling traits

This Gambado features a compact front-engine, front-wheel-drive (FF) layout developed with ABC Hobby to improve weight balance and cornering stability. High-strength 7075S Duralumin elements, including the motor plate, add rigidity where it counts for consistent lap times.

Key components for racing durability

With a ball differential and aluminium oil shocks, the R246-2002 delivers stable traction and tunable response for varied track surfaces. The carbon radio plate reduces mass while stiffening the cockpit area, and the kingpin strut independent suspension helps maintain grip through quick direction changes.

Build options and tyre setup

Supplied with 8-spoke white wheels and sticky AS28 radial tyres, the car is ready for racing trims. It accepts multiple M chassis body profiles, allowing racers to fit preferred aero and balance setups.

Partially assembled convenience

The kit arrives about 80% complete with many high-performance parts pre-installed, lowering build time and making it approachable for newcomers while still offering scope for tuning by experienced drivers.

The Kyosho R246-2002 suits drivers who want a ready-to-race FF platform with robust construction and room for setup work. Its mix of pre-assembly and quality parts makes it a smart pick for racers and hobbyists building a competitive car.
