Kyosho 1/8 Honda NSR500 1991 Motorcycle Kit

Fun to build, pleasing to display, amazing to drive! The only electric R/C bike with hanging on rider figure that leans through corners

Since its first release in 1992, Kyosho’s long-selling Hanging On Racer model is still as popular as ever. The S.D.S.S (semi direct steering system) delivers high performance fully independent motion with the rider figure construction incorporating 13 different connections so it hangs onto the bike as it leans into corners. The result is driving performance just like a real motorbike that is easy enough for anyone to control. 

Also, each section of the bike is designed with an incredible level of scale detail from the body cowl, inverted front fork suspension, brake disk & calipers, wheels, drive chain, sprocket, and asymmetrical swing arm to recreate a model of display standard quality. However, as only a few parts are used in construction, even beginners can enjoy the satisfaction of the assembly that only takes a short time to complete. Dive deep into the fascinating realm of R/C electric motorbike driving like never before and discover the pure enjoyment of a building, displaying, and driving your own Hanging On Racer.
