Kyosho Gas powered 1/12th pan car
saw this post at redrc.net
It shows a new, concept stage, project by Kyosho to make a 1/12th gas powered 4wd pan car, sporting what looks like the same Sirio .09 engine that comes with the Mini Inferno range of buggies. As my Japanese is pretty bad, all i can comment on is the picture and i have to say that it looks like a rather awkward and cramped layout with 2 belt configuration, side mounted disk brake and 2 speed gearbox. The rear top mounted exhaust just looks like an afterthought and as much as the center of the car looks too busy, the front has nothing going on. What do you guys think?

this little 1/12th car looks very promissing. as for being underpowered, I've ran with .09 engines in a 1/10th pan car in oval.....They are just about as fast as a .12....the weight on the rear, not much to worry about with the pan car, as it can be set up to take care of that......This would be a great car to convert over to Oval, sure would draw intrest from the oval community....

Then I would want one considering I use to race oval back in the 90s.
