This 1\/8 scale kit models the legendary 1978 Yamaha YZR500, the machine \"King Kenny\" Roberts famously rode to his first 500cc championship. As the first YZR500 in the series, Kyosho conducted detailed research on an existing bike to carefully replicate its form. This kit isn't just for show; it's a running model that blends motorsport heritage with engaging RC performance. The level of detail is high, with a body cowl, brake discs, calipers, and sprockets all designed for a realistic display finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hang-On Racer's main feature is its unique S.D.S.S. (Semi-Direct Steering System), which allows the bike to achieve stable, full-lean cornering. This is paired with a 13-joint articulated rider figure that realistically \"hangs on\" by leaning its body into every turn, linked directly to the steering. This YZR500 version features a new scale-accurate upright front fork, matching the real machine and improving handling. The rear uses an asymmetrical swingarm with a monoshock, just like the real bike. A true-to-scale mini chain and sprocket system drives the rear wheel, powered by the included Le Mans DM20 motor. With a low part count, it's an approachable kit for new builders but detailed enough for veteran modelers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-lg font-bold not-prose dark:text-white text-zinc-900\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFun to build, pleasing to display, amazing to drive!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe one and only electric R\/C bike with hanging on rider figure than leans through corners.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe realism is enhanced by the articulated rider figure, which features 13 joints and actively \"hangs on\" by leaning its body into every turn. The commitment to scale detail is visible everywhere, from the body cowl and inverted front fork suspension to the brake discs, calipers, and asymmetrical swing arm. A true-to-scale chain drive system, using a mini chain and sprocket, delivers power from the included Le Mans DM20 motor. Despite these intricate details, the kit features a small parts count, making it an approachable assembly for RC beginners while still satisfying veteran builders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-sm font-bold not-prose dark:text-white\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lg:[\u0026amp;\u0026gt;ul]:columns-2\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA faithful reproduction of the 1978 World Championship YZR500 machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Le Mans DM20 brushed motor with easy-to-handle power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures an S.D.S.S. steering system that allows for deep, realistic banking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArticulated rider figure with 13 joints realistically hangs on in corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic chain drive system uses a realistic sprocket and mini chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew scale-accurate upright front fork suspension (not inverted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsymmetrical swing arm with a friction Shock monoshock rear suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable twin-tube style main frame provides a solid chassis foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit includes three durable metal pinion gears (10T, 12T, 14T) for tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Le Mans DM20 brushed motor with mild and easy-to-handle power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pinion gear has been upgraded from the previous plastic version to a metal one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust like the real machine, the model is equipped with an inverted-type front fork suspension, along with scale-accurate brake discs and calipers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with an asymmetrical swingarm and a friction shock-style monoshock, the model also features a realistic chain drive system using a mini chain, just like the actual motorcycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes unique bike stand that can be used to display the stunning scale appearance of the Hanging On Racer when it is not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFall prevention guards are effective for when standing starts are difficult and for when the bike leans too far while cornering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional parts for the Hanging On Racer include special steering servo, speed controller and battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Kyosho Product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-sm font-bold not-prose dark:text-white\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lg:[\u0026amp;\u0026gt;ul]:columns-2\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 270mm (10.63\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 98mm (3.86\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 190mm (7.48\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 750g (1.65lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis: Twin Tube Style Main Frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuspension: F: Inverted Fork \/ R: Asymmetric Monoshock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrivetrain: RWD (Chain Drive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor: Le Mans DM20 Brushed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eESC: N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-sm font-bold not-prose dark:text-white\"\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Yamaha YZR500 1\/8 Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Le Mans DM20 Brushed Motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3x Pinion Gear (10T, 12T, 14T)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Display Stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Anti-Tip Guard Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-sm font-bold not-prose dark:text-white\"\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x 2-Channel Transmitter \u0026amp;
