Experience the Thrill of Nitro Racing with Kyosho's FW-06
The Kyosho 31368J GP FW-06 is more than just an RC car; it's a gateway into the exhilarating world of nitro touring cars. Built on the renowned FW-06 chassis, this model is designed to cater to both beginners and seasoned racers alike. With its shaft-driven 4WD system and powerful GXR15 engine, it promises a dynamic driving experience that evolves with your skills.
The Heart of Performance: GXR15 Engine
At the core of the FW-06 is the GXR15 engine, known for its reliability and power. The engine's slide carburetor allows fine-tuning for optimal performance, while the unique recoil starter eliminates the need for a one-way clutch, reducing resistance and ensuring quick starts. This engine, paired with a 2-speed automatic transmission, maximizes the power band for superior speed and acceleration.
Advanced Suspension and Control
The suspension system draws inspiration from the World Champion V-ONE RRR, incorporating rear hubs and lower suspension arms that offer remarkable setup flexibility and mechanical grip. The front suspension features a separate left/right structure for enhanced strength and ease of maintenance. Together, these elements ensure the FW-06 handles with precision and confidence.
Ready for the Track: Comprehensive Readyset
Kyosho has packaged the FW-06 in a fully assembled Readyset, complete with a pre-painted Aston Martin DBR9 body. The inclusion of the 2.4GHz Syncro KT-200 transmitter means you're always ready to hit the track without frequency conflicts. Its dual-rate and failsafe functions enhance safety and control, making it ideal for competitive racing environments.
Durability and Maintenance
With a total of 22 ball bearings, the FW-06 ensures smooth operation and longevity. The model also features universal swing shafts at the front and turnbuckle tie-rods for adjustable alignment. The high-strength brake disk holder provides reliable braking power, crucial for maintaining control during high-speed runs.
