Here is the tomahawk chassis that won the IFMAR, do not know the details, its clearly a tomahawk chassis from the CF tray you see. Lars showed the original buggy in action! Cool stuff.

Hop ups include kyosho gold shocks in front, short ones and I believe medium CB-89s at the rears. Also machined front trailing arm retainers (if you know what I mean). The vintage buggy can definitely give the new one a run for its money at the races:lol:

No closeup of those list of hopups. There are so many. Its good kyosho is giving hop-up parts rather than making separate line of buggies- turbo scorpion, tomahawk, beetle and sidewinder. If they produce the other bodies as options, man they wil make some serious $$$$$ and the the 'fire' will continue burning long after this hype is over.

Nice rear and front tires, the centerline wheels look sweet and very shiny , guessing the fronts are 2.0 or 2.1 size? They look bigger.

I know as part of the option, you will be getting CVD swing shafts for sure. It would have been cool if kyosho makes those trailing arms from titanium!!! I would get them for $200 even.

Any more news out there on release dates?

I believe it is sometime in June or August. I don't remember exactly since I was talking to the kyosho guys about the new Laser buggy as well.

[stulec52]

ok, thanks.

I'm a little surprised as well to have not heard any rumours about other possible Kyosho re-releases.

That Kyosho rep didn't seem to know too much about it. I could have gave a better presentation just based off of what I've read online about it. Amain is saying July but I'm hoping dude is right and it's June. I can't wait to get one of these. Loving the GoodYear lettering on the tires and the fact that it's aluminum. There's enough of a difference from the original so it won't be confused by those who know. It's a beautiful looking buggy. I might need 2...

I heard from a reliable source in Japan that it will be July. Kyosho pushed back the date to increase production to meet demand

Im glad somebody else noticed the kyosho rep was obviously not practiced on his scorpion presentation. Got to BELIEVE IN WHAT your sayin,, and KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKIN ABOUT.
