More infoThe legend returns… Javelin. A machine that redefines what it means to be the best.
Nylon pipe frame and aluminium rooftop form a high strength roll cage body structure. Includes large bumper similar to the original design as well as a mini bumper suitable for racing.
New large size wing and wing stay are made from reinforced nylon material. The original Javelin wing was mounted on the roll cage directly. The new wing stay is now separate from the roll cage, adding more durability, and the wing is fixed with body clips for easier maintenance. The wing mounting position is the same as the Scorpion series allowing installation of the smaller wing used for the Scorpion onto the new Javelin.
It is equipped with a choice of two drive systems. The original 1986 version used a chain drive with an optional belt drive sold separately. Both are included as standard in this Vintage Series version.
The gearbox is equipped with a slipper clutch to protect the drive system from sudden load changes such as jump landings. It can respond to various road conditions with simple adjustments.
The main chassis, shock stay and plates are made from 6061T6 aluminium alloy for corrosion resistance and increased strength. Countersunk flat head and tapping screws realize flush finish and reduce the number of nuts used.
While faithfully replicating the original 1986 design, the oil shocks on the new version lift performance potential with stainless steel shafts on front and rear and aluminium cylinders with outer diameter increased from φ10 mm to φ12 mm.
Shock-resistant nylon double wishbone suspension with long-stroke delivers superior durability and running stability combined with the increased bore of the oil shocks.
Replace resin bushes on the rear hub carriers to chose from three different toe angles (0°, 1°, 2°). Aluminium hexagonal wheel hubs can be fixed with set screws.
While staying true to Javelin’s original design, tyres feature more pins and a revised compound to ensure increased grip. Includes lightweight chrome dish-type wheels.
Features
- Each part has been upgraded to correspond with modern power sources while retaining Javelin’s unique original design.
- New updated heavy-duty aluminium inner roll bar for increased durability.
- The new wing stay is compatible with the Optima(requires some cutting of the PC body).
- The rear wing has been changed to chassis mounting to generate high downforce. The pedestal parts have been included with insert nuts to keep the wing securely fixed. Incorporation of insert nuts into the pedestals delivers even more secure mounting.
- Like the original Javelin, white, pastel green, and fluorescent yellow coloured roll cage bodies and wings are available. Red and black colours are on the plan.
- The aluminium plate on the front area of the roll cage body is now securely fixed with screws adding rigidity to the body.
- Simple yet high rigidity aluminium backbone type chassis.
- Two types of drive system can be selected. The 4WD chain system with a sealed compartment that took the world by storm, or the 4WD belt system that was later released as an option.
- FRP radio plate is suitable for ESC’s of any brand.
- One-piece wheels replicate the original stylish design while delivering a reduction in weight.
- Full ball bearing specifications use 18 ball bearings. (chain drive system uses 16).
- Hex heads ensure easy use and fastening security.
- Includes separate helmet and polycarbonate body.
- Hook and loop fastener battery stay (including battery straps printed with the Kyosho logo) is compatible with various batteries and allows easy installation and removal.
- Equipped with metallic counter gear.
