Recreates the special-spec TOMAHAWK that competed in the inaugural 1985 World Championship！
At the inaugural IFMAR (International Federation of Model Auto Racing) 1/10 EP (electric) Off-Road Car World Championship held in the United States in 1985, the latest racing buggies from around the world gathered to compete for the title. The Tomahawk led the Kyosho’s charge in the 2WD class, including a works-spec machine driven by its designer, Akira Kokawa. 41 years later, the works-spec Tomahawk driven by its designer, Akira Kogawa, has been revived. Released as the 20th installment of the Kyosho Vintage Series in a limited production run, the Tomahawk ’85 World Championship Spec is based on the Tomahawk reissued in 2015. By incorporating newly developed parts and including optional components as standard, it faithfully recreates the World Championship entry model while delivering significant performance upgrades. The Tomahawk’s signature ladder frame has been updated to stainless steel, while the rear suspension plate and gearbox plate are made from A7075 duralumin to enhance chassis rigidity. Although a stainless-steel frame was prototyped back in 1985, it was never commercialized, making this ’85 World Championship Spec its first production release. The front suspension is reinforced with a combination of an integrated steel caster lock and a CNC-machined arm shaft lock. Newly designed FRP shock towers are used front and rear, and an FRP servo mount plate lowers the center of gravity, leaving no detail overlooked. In addition, numerous modifications, such as the addition of a rear wing and the inclusion of a ball differential as standard, both absent on the original Tomahawk, result in a finish worthy of the “World Championship Spec” name. Celebrating the racer that helped define EP buggy racing at the first IFMAR World Championship, this kit delivers both historic authenticity and thrilling performance for nostalgic fans and new enthusiasts alike.

Recreates the Tomahawk used by Kyosho Works Team driver Akira Kogawa at the 1985 World Championship. Special parts are incorporated throughout, and it features wheels molded in his signature peppermint green color.
Signature bent stainless steel box-section ladder frame combines with A7050 duralumin rear suspension and gearbox plates to significantly increase rigidity for demanding track conditions.
Front and rear shock towers are upgraded from aluminum to 3mm thick black FRP, matching the 1985 race-spec configuration.
Red aluminum oil shocks inspired by the World Championship Kyosho works model include dial spring tension adjustment for precision setup compared to standard spec spring stoppers.
Steel front caster lock integrates the ball point for mounting the upper arm, delivering greater rigidity than standard aluminum die-cast. Precision machined aluminum front arm shaft block also delivers higher rigidity.
Equipped as standard with an optional ball differential. It slips when excessive load is applied, ensuring high traction and improving cornering performance.
The wheel hubs used to secure the rear wheels are a completely new design. By locking in with the wheel ribs, they greatly improve mounting rigidity and effectively enhance rear tire traction.
New FRP servo mount plate lowers the center of gravity and shifts the servo forward to optimize weight distribution for improved front- end response.
While the standard spec Tomahawk was without rear wing, the ’85 World Championship spec featured a peppermint green rear wing to match the wheels. Wing mount is newly designed for this model.
