Awesome Kyosho Rarity!!

Post by Vintagemishal »

My wife found this in a lot on Craigslist! We were lucky enough to get it along with a full graphite RC10LS. It is a Kyosho ATC 250R! Unfortunately, the rider is missing, but the guy thinks he still has it and is going to try to find it. The tires don't show any wear at all, and there is only minor wear on the back of the chassis due to riding wheelies. We are really excited about this find!

They were rebranded and sold by graupner in europe. I remember seeing one in the hobbyshop every time for a couple years. either that shop had a large stock of them or it just wouldn't sell... my bet would be on the latter

I've never seen one without the body before. Looks pretty neat.

That is one of my favorite vintage vehicles from Kyosho. Sadly I have never been able to score one.

Well, this one is not going to be run, so it really is not an issue.

The tires show virtually no wear at all. Definately a plus!
