Re: Kyosho Fantom Early Model 4wd chain
They are pretty sought-after since they were so unique. Does it have a body? Maybe around $200? I can't remember what the last ones I saw went for as it was a while ago and it wasn't something I needed to remember.

Re: Kyosho Fantom Early Model 4wd chain
Yep - FANTOMS are seriously collectible. NIB kits used to fetch well over 750 dollars on a regular basis years ago. Havent seen a NIB example for a while, but for 250 for a new built - well I would say that is a deal.
The only thing that comes c lose to FANTOM in rarity is the AYK Quattro (there were two versions).....both have similar platforms. (not much you can do with a 1/12th scale 4wd chaing system - only so many ways it can be done!!
)
Cheers

Re: Kyosho Fantom Early Model 4wd chain
I dont think the nitro ones are as desirable as the electric I would offer 150.00 at the most for the gas fantom. There is a nib nitro version on ebay it has been there for awhile now here is the listing this is a 2wheel http://cgi.ebay.com/Kyosho-1-12-Fantom-10-engine-Race-car-kit-Alfa-33SC-/220633810002?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item335eccc452 and here is a 4 wheel electric also on ebay for along time http://cgi.ebay.com/Kyosho-1-12-Fantom-EP-4WD-Porsche-Kremer-/320668986606?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item4aa95c6cee

hi
you could use OS21 vf or OS21fsr on this car .
tank is not the right one
straight epoxy front chassis come from the early version of Fantom 20 ( 2wd) , that's a little bit strange , but it's perhaps a car wich has been upgrade in 4wd
early fantom 2wd and fantom expert 2wd:

fantom 20 4wd :

Re: Kyosho Fantom Early Model 4wd chain
ok thats it, im buying up all the NIB phantoms and kyosho models here, for 1/4 of what people on ebay are willing to pay...and turning a tidy profit.RETRO R/C wrote:Yep - FANTOMS are seriously collectible.

I cant believe these cars are going for this price, just because people dont want to goto the source to get them.
then again, turn the tables, a good condition team car is a good $250 here, NIB...who knows
