Champ85 609 Posted May 4, 2022 Number 11 in the Legendary Series from Kyosho, the Fantom EP 4WD Ext CRC-II is the last reincarnation of the famous FANTOM EP form! MSRP 34980 JPY including tax. Estimated released date: July 2022. https://rc.kyosho.com/en/rccar/vintage/30637.html Notice the motor? It's a Le Mans 480 Gold brushless. Same spec as the already-released green/blue version at 21.5T, but anodized in Gold with matching label. I'd be all over this car but I have no place to run it. Beautiful chassis, like the Fandom EP 4WD released in 2020. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Room335 738 Posted May 4, 2022 I have the Fantom EP and I will probably get this one too. These cars are a lot of fun, even if you don’t race. All you need is access to a tennis court! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moffman 5752 Posted May 7, 2022 Estimated release date of July 2022 so should be released by August 2023 then? If the Optima mid is anything to go by? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiyastef 1968 Posted May 16, 2022 Anyone can point out the difference between this and the previous fantom besides the colour of the body? Is it worth the wait or can I better get the other one which is cheaper and readily available... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the biggest difference is the floating rear pod in the CRC-II vs solid rear mount in the previous chassis. Notice the lack of a shock absorber in the previous chassis: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamiya3speed 464 Posted May 18, 2022 I find these cars to be absolutely gorgeous. Have the first Fantom, I may never build it or run it but it is just such a work of art I am so proud to own it. I may say that about all my Kyosho Rere cars. Execution is just so fantastic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
