Kyosho reveal first Javelin re-release buggy images Posted: 28 Aug 2017 11:09 AM PDT Following a first teaser video Kyosho now officially revealed that they are working on a Javelin re-release buggy. The 1/10th scale icon will feature the distinctive roll cage chassis that made the 1980’s buggy famous with the 4WD buggy being based off of the already released Optima buggy. Thus it will sport red anodised small bore shock absorbers, a redesigned rear wing mount, silver rims with knobby high-grip tyres and just like the other re-release kits Kyosho issued so far, the Javelin will rock several improvements over the original version to ensure it will withstand the brute force of modern day motors and batteries. We bring you more information on the specifications and features as soon as they become available. Source: Kyosho [kyoshoeurope.com] ![]() ![]() |
