Detailed View of the Kyosho 31049 DRX Rally Chassis

The Kyosho 31049 DRX kit is targeted at rally-focused RC builders seeking a serviceable, race-capable platform. The R246 7075T4 main chassis combines with a 2-speed automatic unit to support controlled power delivery across varied terrain.

Drive and Engine Notes

This edition is set up for the GXR18 limited engine without a recoil start, keeping the installation compact. The separate clutch assembly improves modulation and mirrors designs used in competition buggy layouts for crisper acceleration control.

Adaptability and Realism

Since tyres are not included, you can fit compounds suitable for tarmac, gravel or loose surfaces. The downward-facing manifold and muffler help lower the centre of mass, while large oil shocks and adjustable ride height let you tune for stability or agility.

Ease of Service and Protection

Maintenance is simplified by a removable, dirt-resistant radio box and easy-to-change suspension arms and knuckles. Knuckle rock guards limit debris intrusion so steering remains consistent under load.
