Kyosho Moto Hanging On Racer SRT Suzuki RGV 1992 1:8 Kit

Fun to build, beautiful to display, and fantastic to ride! The unique electric R/C bike with a hang-on rider figure that leans into corners.

Since its initial release in 1992, Kyosho's legendary Hanging On Racer has been a perennial favorite and remains as popular as ever. The SDSS (Semi Direct Steering System) delivers high-performance, fully independent movement: the rider figure is integrated into the construction via 13 articulation points/connections and realistically "hangs" into the turn when cornering. The result is handling just like a real motorcycle – yet so forgiving that it's easy to control even for beginners. In addition, every detail of the bike boasts impressive scale detail: from the fairing, USD fork, brake discs and calipers, wheels, drive chain, sprockets, and asymmetrical swingarm to the overall display-quality finish. However, since only a few parts are used, assembly is quick and ensures a genuine sense of accomplishment, even for beginners. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of electric R/C motorcycle action and experience the pure joy of building, displaying and riding your own Hanging On Racer.

A faithful replica of the SRT SUZUKI RGV-Γ, which competed in the 500cc class of the Road Racing World Championship and the All Japan Road Race Championship (including the starting numbers used there). The level of detail is almost on par with a display model.

The pinion gear has been upgraded from the previous plastic version to a metal version.

The driver figure with 13 points of movement/joint is coupled to the steering mechanism and realistically replicates the typical hang-on posture of a real driver.

The innovative SDSS (Semi-Direct Steering System) enables cornering at full lean angle (Full Bank) and ensures controllable, motorcycle-like handling.

As with the original, a USD front fork is installed – including scale brake discs and brake calipers.

Featuring an asymmetrical swingarm and mono-shock (friction damper style). Also includes a realistic chain drive with a mini-chain – just like a real motorcycle.

The servo and gearbox are mounted as a unit on the double-tube main frame. The battery is located at the bottom of the fairing.

Anti-tip bars help with difficult standing starts and when the bike leans too far in curves.

Optional parts for the Hanging On Racer: special steering servo, speed controller and battery.
