I know we've all seen the prototype shaft-driven 4wd car that some people have custom made out of Kyosho parts..... it look like the factory has taken the hint.

If I'm understanding things correctly these are early shots from the '05 Japan Hobby Expo/Show

Looking very much like a production kit:

This looks different that what I last saw of the "ZX-5" on radiocontrolzone .

Maybe this a different version of the same buggy, Like a "team" version?

Very nice however.

That looks a lot more like a production vehicle than the ZX-5. It looks like it has more molded parts on it.

should be cheaper too

I don't think this will make it into production. To cut costs, manufaturers share parts and mold costs from other cars in the line up. According to Cyrul who is helping develop the Onroad car, the shaft has been dropped and they've gone back to the drawing board to work on a belt car. Chances are, if this is true, it will most likely spell death to this version.

thats a real shame as this looks like it could perform well.

RCCA has pics of the new KYo car that should release. It's a double belt design unfortunately...

Great stuff if its a belt design tranny, at least its different which is more than what i can say about the rest about what other manufacturers are doing..
