Please allow up to 5 business days for shippingUpdated with modern R/C technology, the Spartan design of this pure racing buggy proves its race credentials!
Based on the solid foundation of the Scorpion, the Tomahawk was modified and launched as a pure racing vehicle. On its release, the Tomahawk swept challengers away from Japan and around the world to create a legend that is still remembered by many R/C racers today. In response to many requests from R/C fans, Kyosho is proud to add the Tomahawk as the 3rd Immortal model in the Vintage Series. Incorporating metal parts from the 2014 Scorpion such as the 6061T6 aluminum main frame chassis, forged suspension arms, 2-piece aluminum diecast gearbox with built-in diff gears, the Tomahawk will always be a pure racing machine with its characteristic Spartan double deck. The new Tomahawk is not simply a reproduction of the original machine. Each key component has updated with modern R/C racing technology and power source to product superior circuit performance. Many will appreciate its nostalgic style, but the elimination of radio box to reduce weight and side mounting of the battery for optimal weight distribution sharpens the edge of the Tomahawk for the pure enjoyment of true racing performance.

The original store sold only model soldiers trading from approximately 10sm but soon expanded to include model kits and model rail.
The early trading name of the store was Mainly Military, reflecting the model soldier bias, but changed in the late eighties to trade as Frontline Hobbies.
Later, radio control was added to the range, then Die-Cast collectables, games, puzzles and finally under twelves educational toys.
Located at 5 Lang Road, Broadmeadow, NSW, 2292, Australia. If you are planning a visit, please allow several hours to take it all in. If you cannot physically visit, please take a virtual tour.
