Kyosho Pure Ten GP Spyder

[Dangeruss]

in 1995 Kyosho introduced an all new 1/10 nitro powered 4wd touring car lineup under the Pure Ten GP Spyder banner. Initially offered as a Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Chevrolet Camaro, Toyota Supra, Opel Calibra, Nissan Skyline, and Porsche 911 body styles or in a chassis only kit Kyosho also released the Pure 10 with a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Ford GT40, Ferrari 250GTO, Ferrari 330, MGB MK1, and Cobra Daytona Coupe body in their Nostalgic Car Series the same year. 4wd touring cars were succeeding the 2wd pan cars that rose to popularity in the 1980’s but Kyosho would use the Pure Ten cars to launch the Kyosho World Cup, a single make race that continues to this day. Built from a Duraluminum plate chassis with a Duraluminum upper radio plate the Pure Ten cars featured a four-wheel independent suspension with lower a-arms and fixed plastic camber links all around while twin bellcrank steering with an aluminum drag link and built-in servo saver led to non-adjustable plastic tie rods. Plastic bodied coilover friction shocks were fitted to the chassis via aluminum shock towers front and rear. A pinion and spur primary drive powered the triple belt 4wd system with bevel gear differentials front, rear, and center while metal dogbones and axles passed through plastic knuckles and carriers at each corner. 260/40ZR18 radial style tires were wrapped around white "BBS" lace style nylon wheels. Each unassembled model was equipped with Kyoshos GS-11X recoil start motor, muffler, disk brake, bushings, flip top gas tank, clear lexan body, wing and scale accessories, less radio:
