About the Tomahawk 1/10 2WD Buggy Kit
Design & Engineering
The Kyosho Tomahawk 1/10 2WD Electric Off-Road Buggy Kit seamlessly blends retro design with modern engineering to deliver a pure racing experience. Built upon the solid foundation of the Scorpion, the Tomahawk was meticulously modified and launched as a pure racing vehicle that quickly rose to legendary status in the 1980s. Now reintroduced as the 3rd Immortal model in the Vintage Series, this iconic buggy incorporates metal parts from the 2014 Scorpion, including a 6061T6 aluminum main frame chassis and forged suspension arms, ensuring durability and performance. Each key component has been updated with modern R/C racing technology and power sources, enhancing circuit performance while retaining the nostalgic style that enthusiasts cherish. By eliminating the radio box to reduce weight and implementing side-mounted battery placement for optimal weight distribution, the Tomahawk sharpens its edge for true racing performance, proving its race credentials on the track.
Chassis
The Kyosho Tomahawk boasts a meticulously crafted main chassis, body, roof lights, wheels, tires, and driver figure, combining vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. The lightweight and durable aluminum chassis, roll-bar, and shock towers provide a sturdy foundation for aggressive off-road racing, while the pre-cut polycarbonate body, made from the original Tomahawk body mold, ensures authenticity and scale realism. Roof light buckets add to the scale look and feel, complete with light guards for added detail. The wheels and tires recreate the original design but with optimized block patterns and high-grip materials, offering superior traction on a variety of surfaces. Additionally, the inclusion of a driver figure with a dust cover adds to the immersive racing experience, while decals create a vivid color scheme that pays homage to the Tomahawk's racing heritage.
Drivetrain & Suspension
The supreme drivetrain and suspension of the Kyosho Tomahawk elevate its performance to championship levels on the off-road track. Equipped with pre-assembled red and clear anodized aluminum oil-filled shocks and a slipper clutch, this buggy offers smooth handling and reliable power delivery, even in rough conditions. The combination of nylon and sintered alloy in 48-pitch gears ensures high efficiency and low noise, while the option to install a ball diff for RB provides further customization for racing enthusiasts. The adjustable turnbuckles and hex type screws on the chassis enhance tuning capabilities and work efficiency, allowing drivers to fine-tune their setup for optimal performance. With its robust construction and race-proven design, the Kyosho Tomahawk is poised to leave a lasting impression on the world of off-road R/C racing, delivering thrills and excitement for generations to come.
