The Kyosho 31044K DRX Lancia Stratos WRC delivers a faithful 1/9 scale representation of the Stratos combined with nitro propulsion and permanent 4WD. It is aimed at enthusiasts who want a balance of realistic appearance and a chassis that can be dialed in for different driving conditions.
This model mirrors the Lancia Stratos profile with precise body detail and separate clear lens headlights for realism. The GXR18 engine paired with a recoil pull starter produces a pronounced engine sound, while the long wheelbase and full-time 4WD promote straight-line stability and controlled slides.
The separated clutch assembly offers improved throttle response reminiscent of racing buggies. A large air cleaner reduces cleaning frequency, and the downward-facing muffler outlet helps keep the shell cleaner. Large oil-filled shocks with adjustable height, dual disk brakes, and a dust-resistant radio compartment make servicing straightforward.
Fine adjustments for chassis height, camber, tread and toe let you refine handling to suit each circuit. Optional clutch springs and shoes change engagement feel, and fitting an optional stabilizer can improve balance. The 103cc fuel tank supports runs of more than 10 minutes depending on driving and tune.
The Kyosho 31044K DRX Lancia Stratos WRC is suited to modelers who enjoy setup work and the sensory feedback of nitro engines. It provides a robust base for both casual runs and more focused tuning sessions.
