Any pics jet? With the long chassis been in production I guess there will be a sp3 or even a rb6 out?
Kyosho makes the wait really thrilling all the time

[Ross]

Looks like a DB1 :D:wub

I was watching it at stotfold and didn't have good signal so the video kept buffering, i didn't see that motor sticking out the rear until I got home :D:D.

[Neil Skull]

Expect more news in August!

[coleman758]

It looks RM too me too.

I would expect it to be like the Cougar SVR.
Rear motor, using an alloy/carbon chassis.

[Moose]

I only heard it should be more like the 22 with alloy chassis. No idea if its right.
Rear motor cover looks different. He sould run slower its too hard to see.

[Matthijs]

some more pics spotted on facebook....

[mdowney]

:woot:

[till]

I heard it will be like the 22 and the dex 210 mid and rear motor! :thumbsup:

[RudeTony]

Don't assume too much Gents.......:cool:

[Moose]

- rear motor cover doesnt look new anymore :)
- rear arms look like losi but are not
- gullwing rear arms ?! kyosho's first gullwing arms?
- alloy chassis visible at the front? hard to see.

[Neil Skull]

You will have to wait till 1st of August for official release!!!
I have seen the car:p

[RogerM]

Oh what a painful week it will be ....

I'm going to have to have one of course, even though I'm currently trying to find a minister who will marry me to my DB1 ;)

polygamy is illegal ! :yawn:

I have seen the car

Dont say it too loud they might kill you :woot:
can you tell us wheather it is a complete new car or an evolution with many parts fitting?

btw: those long cars make the cap forward bodies look much better.

[GRIFF55]

I love those aerials!!

It's a brand new car...

[mikeyscott]

V happy with my DB1. However I hope that wheels and other items can be compatible as it's great with similar parts etc.

Fs2 / rb5 common parts makes it much nicer etc.

[tomtom]

Me like it a lot :thumbsup:

And I hope it will be rear only dirt machine, got my DB1 for everything else !

I noticed the angled wishbones on the rear, longer wheelbase and especially the new front tower.

Can't wait !

[Gayo]

1st of august, that is quick! Great to see a new car, the RB5 is around since 2005, I think.
Now what I would like to see is a ZX-6 with a simplified design and access to the tranny, diffs etc. Ah, dreams :lol:

[Dyna]

the RB5 is around since 2005, I think.

The main chassis of the RB5 has actually been around since 1999.... :woot:

It was the chassis for the Ultima RB Type R, one very minor tooling change and it became the RB5 chassis !

[Neil Skull]

I love those aerials!!

Griff we still sell a lot of those aerials!!!

[reg]

Is it a tweeked RB5 like the WC is or is it totaly new?

[Funkymojo]

Is it a tweeked RB5 like the WC is or is it totaly new?

From the looks of it, it's most likely going to be a totally new car...

[Moose]

Where will it be released? Any hobbyshow?

[vandercarter]

Wow!!!:drool:

[MOGGIE XL]

Looks interesting,just wondering does Gil Losi jr still work for Kyosho.

[Matthijs]

[Moose]

the "RB6" looks odd.. so familiar with the "5" after the "RB".
KYO55 would be a better name :D
Anyway nice appreciation of the Losi design.

@MOGGIE XL: jepp think so but no idea what he exactly does.

Hope the price drops like the SP2WC price. List price is way high.

Body and side guards look nearly waterproof.

[Honeybadger]

I'm liking the look of that. :thumbsup:

[MHeadling]

Nice looking car, like the steering rack design.

No conversions or doner cars required!

[Moose]

To be honest its a pure copy and nothing else. Ok front is slightly different and more like the rb5 used to be but this is for sure not a car anybody will celebrate as an innovation.
Shock quality and quality in general always was awsome so overall it should be one of the best cars around

[MikePimlott]

Teabag must have liked the 22, he made kyosho make one :woot:

[reg]

how many have a heavy heart,having owned a 22 mine is very,was so looking forward to something different,never thought for one min it would look like this:(

[Gayo]

The RB5 was neither the most innovative, and it is a damn good car though (insert Kyosho fan emoticon here)

[Gnarly Old Dog]

Are there any real new ideas left? Most things in all walks of life take inspiration from other designs around them - with some refinements here and there. The RB6 may be inspired by other designs (one possibly very close to my own heart :thumbsup:) but I'm sure it'll have a special K twist thrown in for good measure.

I for one like the look of this and applaud Kyosho for it - and whilst I'll not be able to run one personally, I think it's an important model for Kyosho and the fact that it's another large manufacturer who feels the need to accomodate both the arguably European-centric mid motor concept (sorry Chaz) along with the more traditional US / Japanese rear motor design speaks volumes about how important its becoming for the large industry players to be global and to cater for all markets.

I'm loving the material choices and the cell layout. Interesting design solutions and no doubt many more arguments as to whether the cells are the right way round or not ;)

The fact that it doesn't need a donor or another conversion kit won't stop conversions becoming available - and that's also a good thing as it keeps interest in the class overall and there's plenty of room for everyone. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Any going to Silverstone this weekend?

Looking good from here - nice work.

[Moose]

the RB5 has a long history, the type R is now 12 years old and the RB5 is just the same with "a few new parts"
Back than this car was innovative, had no E clips as far as I remember and so on.
It is just a bit sad they decided that copying the best car out is the fastes way to get a car done. So many prototypes have been seen and they end up with a more or less straight copy. Looks strange now after testing so many parts in the old car. They could aswell put new parts tested in an SP3 but it looks like they wanted to copy the rear motor option from losi and just didnt find a way to do this the same way with the rb5.
Looks a bit made in a hurry without passion.
I didnt expect the wow effect of the tlr22 but I was looking for more than a different steering link just to make it look different

Are there any real new ideas left?
No, we can stop here :P

[mes]

Come on, it is not a full 22 copy - the front shock tower looks rather B4ish!:lol:
To be honest, the large shock tower is the part I like least on this car. Being far from an innovative piece of kit, it still looks decent, however.
K parts in Germany are far too expensive (e.g. BB springs at approx. 20 euros a pair), so it won't be an option for many hereabouts. Even importing Yokomo bits from France or Japan is cheaper than buying Kyosho spares locally - and domestic Yokomo parts support is improving.

[Moose]

thats true mes, from germany too and plastic parts are well priced but all steel, alloy and tuning parts are ridiculously expensive.
I bought a RB5 when it came out and the sp1 upgrade kit and quite some stuff but only two parts in germany. I didnt know the prices are that different to nitro 8 scale prices and I didnt check before buying.
If you need a new shock body you are broke :)

[Windy]

Well looking at the pics i think I am going to have to sell my sole to the dvil and get one of these. If they get it as right as the ZX5, this car is going to be awesome.

K quality with the best shocks in the world, just hope us mere mortals can drive it???

Does anyone have a date of avaliblilty in the UK and cost?

[GRIFF55]

Very nice!
I too would like a nosey if there will be any at silverstone, even if just in somebody's car boot!

[mikeyscott]

Tempted to drive a Kyosho then mate ;)
