Beside some other cars, I found a Kyosho Axis EX 1/12th pan car in a box after laying more than 20 years in a shop.

It's this car for reference: http://rc-car-museum.de/kyosho-axis/

I was actually searching for other old pan cars like Delta and RC12i but I think now if it makes sense adding this to my small collection or not.

Is this car rare or desired to collect? I know the AYK pan cars very well but not the Kyosho pan cars.

I think all the Kyosho pan cars are rare these days.

Naw... you don't want that in your collection. You can send that old, dusty thing to me.

I've found a new interest in these 1/12 pan cars So did you get this one? show us some pics please.

I have one in my pan car collection!

I believe they are quite rare indeed.

The is the one from my collection.

It looks to be a handful to dial in properly, anyone raced with this car?

Thanks for those pics guys.
Lovely car!

I'm running my mutilated Plazma 3P and enjoying it a lot. It was very hard to control at first but I got a long way in the right direction during the first race day.
It looks as if I could replace the Plazma gear diff with the ball diff unit from the Axis Ex... But the Axis Ex parts don't seem to be available anywhere.

I didn't race this car but I was told the main problem was the position and mounting of the side shocks. This was not a perfect solution and affected handling badly. But a super nice car for the shelf.

I don't think it's possible to use the Axis ball diff in a Plazma. The Plazma series used a 5mm rear axle where the Axis Ex seems to have used either a 6mm or 1/4" rear axle.

I can imagine that would be the main issue.

6mm would be fine. I have plenty 10X6 bearings. My only reason to do it would be to have more options for spur gears. the gear diff works fine but is already a bit worn.

I have an Axis EX in my collection as well but with a Plazma body on it. They are very rare.

Maybe the phantom rerelease body will fit your requirements.
