One of the latest product releases (March 2009) by Kyosho is the MR-02 Ready Set Nissan GT-R GT500 Calsonic No 12
With its concentrated mass and ultra-low chassis height, the low center of gravity of the MR-02 is claimed to give it the highest performance specifications. The motor is mounted on the centre of the rear axle (Mid Motor Mount) and the variable wheelbase settings allow a wide range of body styles. The position of the motor on the rear axle means that the motor's power can be used effectively as it gives great stability and traction when accelerating and decelerating. The mid-axle mounted motor, combined with the sophisticated suspension design, means that precision control wil be a feature of this latest Kyosho radio control car.
