At the same time, the Fantom enjoyed fierce rivalry with Kyosho's rear-wheel-drive, 2WD Plazma series. The final and ultimate Plazma model was the MKIII Limited, released in 1987. More than 30 years later, it returns as part of the Kyosho Vintage Series! Like the other Vintage Series models, the reborn Plazma MKIII Limited stays true to the original design but receives modern updates for current R\/C systems and power sources. This allows you to relive the glory of the 1980s – combined with the power and performance of modern racing technology!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlthough some components are shared with the Fantom EP-4WD Ext, the Plazma's simple structure is lighter and, on tracks with sufficient grip, faster than the Fantom. Like the original from 1987, the new Plazma MKIII Limited also features a carbon fiber main chassis. The formerly black FRP top plate and A-frame joint bar are now also made of carbon fiber. The rear differential has been upgraded to the same high-performance ball differential used in the Fantom EP-4WD Ext Kyosho 60th Anniversary Model (2023). The front retains the simple kingpin and coil design with adjustable caster angle, and now includes two kingpin diameters for precise handling adjustment. The α-2 open cockpit and aerobody shape are faithfully reproduced, and all aluminum parts are finished in Kyosho Works silver. With dynamic performance and unmistakable style, the new Plazma MKIII Limited brings fresh brilliance to the Kyosho Vintage Series!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e- The long-awaited return of the 1\/12 Plazma with its famously agile 2WD handling is the 16th edition of the Kyosho Vintage Series.\u003cbr\u003e - Reproduction of the pure Racing Limited Edition model from 1987.\u003cbr\u003e - Retains the main design features of the original, but with updated components for modern R\/C systems and power supply.\u003cbr\u003e - All aluminum parts have the Plazma-typical silver finish.\u003cbr\u003e - Integrates the proven reliability of the 3-point suspension, as is standard on 1\/12 EP racers.\u003cbr\u003e - Highly rigid carbon main chassis \u0026amp; top plate; an FRP rear A-bar with moderate flex provides better tire grip.\u003cbr\u003e - King-pin coil front axle for fine-tuning of steering feel.\u003cbr\u003e - Includes rear oil damper with adjustable spring preload via rotary knob.\u003cbr\u003e - Ball differential adjustable by tightening the nut.\u003cbr\u003e - Standard feature: lighter and high-strength φ6 carbon rear shaft.\u003cbr\u003e - Unbuilt kit including pre-glued and turned front and rear tires and unpainted body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c!-- IMAGE 1 --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kyosho.mobistep.net\/public\/files\/mpk_ged\/81BD8D924A674D2DA0F41123592E0D42_original.webp\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/kyosho.mobistep.net\/public\/files\/mpk_ged\/81BD8D924A674D2DA0F41123592E0D42_original.webp\" class=\"img-fluid\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e Classic 1\/12 on-road racer in the style of the 1980s: simple rear-wheel drive 2WD concept with king-pin suspension at the front and 3-point rear suspension in A-bar configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- IMAGE 2 --\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kyosho.mobistep.net\/public\/files\/mpk_ged\/825D632836D1485B9B831972B0A35A92_original.webp\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/kyosho.mobistep.net\/public\/files\/mpk_ged\/825D632836D1485B9B831972B0A35A92_original.webp\" class=\"img-fluid\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e Includes black front and rear wheels from the Fantom EP-4WD Ext 60th Anniversary Model.
