Hanging On Racer Suzuki RGV1992 Electric 1/8 Scale Motorcycle - KIT from Kyosho - KYO34935T1

Version Info: This motorcycle is delivered as "KIT" and will require a 2-Channel radio, 7.2V-1600mAh Ni-MH battery, servo and ESC (see Requires below for details).

First introduced in 1992 and still winning fans today, Kyosho’s legendary Hanging On Racer captures the thrill of real motorcycle racing in a uniquely immersive RC experience. This updated edition preserves the charm of the original while incorporating refined mechanical details, scale accuracy, and the innovative S.D.S.S. Semi-Direct Steering System—a hallmark of the platform for more than three decades.

The SDS system works in harmony with a fully articulated rider figure featuring 13 points of motion, allowing the rider to lean and “hang on” as the bike banks through corners. The result is remarkably lifelike handling that is intuitive for beginners yet deeply rewarding for experienced drivers.

Kyosho has engineered each component with display-model precision, from the aerodynamic cowl and inverted front fork to the brake discs, chain drive, sprocket, and asymmetrical swingarm. Despite the high level of realism, the kit uses a simplified parts count, making assembly approachable and enjoyable even for newcomers.

Whether you’re a longtime RC enthusiast or a newcomer fascinated by scale motorcycles, the Hanging On Racer offers the perfect blend of building satisfaction, shelf-worthy accuracy, and on-road excitement.
