The Kyosho Javelin makes a proper comeback, keeping the original silhouette but adopting tougher modern components. Launched in 1986 and reissued under the Legendary Series, this edition keeps the historic look while improving function and serviceability.
The resin pipe-frame body captures the original aluminum appearance and mounts to a slim backbone-style chassis. Double wishbone suspension ensures effective steering angles and stability, and the sealed 4WD chain-drive system gives dependable torque transfer in varied conditions.
At the heart of the drive system is a counter gear with slipper capability housed in a metal final gear case for improved load capacity. The 48-pitch gear train reduces power loss and a mix of nylon and sintered alloy parts keeps the drivetrain robust and quiet. Owners can run the supplied chain drive or opt for a belt conversion for different drive characteristics.
Classic roll cage colours such as white, pastel green and fluorescent yellow are available alongside fresh red and black finishes. An upgraded aluminium inner roll bar and a redesigned wing stay add strength and aerodynamic benefit, and the chassis is compatible with the Optima wing with minor tweaks.
Collectors and racers who appreciate authentic retro styling with modular upgrade options will find this kit appealing for both display and track use.
