Feel the unique power and control of 4WD Next-gen basic buggy built on a pure racing base
In the long and distinguished history of 1/10 EP (electric) R/C racing buggies, there are two types based on different drive systems. Rear 2WD models are typically easier to assemble and maintain and exhibit nimble driving characteristics; and then there are the equally popular 4WD models, which use drive force to all four wheels for superior traction on low-grip roads compared to 2WD. For drivers considering a step up from entry-level models, we are proud to introduce the Lazer SB Dirt Cross 4WD, which is a cost-optimized version of the competition-level ZX-5 that has continued to evolve performance and control as the cutting-edge of Kyosho’s worldwide 4WD EP buggy racing campaigns. While the suspension and driven system are retained from the proven Lazer ZX-5, the Dirt Cross does much more than reduce costs; it is designed to appeal to a new generation of R/C racers. While retaining its basic shape, the main chassis has been updated and optimized for the latest battery and motor systems. However, the body has been completely redesigned with a rear positioned cabin (instead of the usual forward-cabin of racing models), driver figure, and newly developed spoke wheels for a classic retro buggy style. As the Dirt Cross is based on a purebred race model, performance is guaranteed. Combining the most comprehensive fit out at a great value price, all the fun and performance off-road R/C has to deliver is perfectly optimized into this mid-range 4WD buggy.

The simple chassis of the Dirt Cross delivers its high performance on all fields of action, from flat dirt to off-road racing circuits. The shaft drive 4WD at its core is based on the Lazer ZX-5, which competes at the highest levels around the world including the world championships.
The newly designed body positions the cabin near the rear in traditional racing buggy style to create fresh impressions with new drivers and a sense of nostalgia for those with more years behind the controls.
The driver figure used to be standard in Kyosho R/C buggies in earlier times and has been revived in this model to increase the sense of realism. The driver figure can also be attached to the 2WD Dirt Master.
Polycarbonate gear cover protects the spur and pinion gear when driving on surfaces with gravel and stones. The gear cover can be easily attached and detached with screws.
Compatible with most mainstream R/C car batteries available. The battery is secured with a hook-and-loop fastener belt, so various battery sizes and shapes can be secured in place.
Resin oil shocks equipped on front and rear suspensions soak up the bumps from the road surface. Dial adjustment of spring tension makes it easy to change chassis height setting.
H-pattern pin tires are equipped on front and rear to provide reliable grip on any surface. Newly designed spoke wheels recreate that retro style to match the body form.
Slipper clutch protects the gears and drive system from excessive loads. Tension settings of the slipper clutch can be adjusted to change driving characteristics.
Front and rear suspension upper arms and steering rod use turnbuckles so simply turn to adjust rod length and change camber angle and toe angle settings.
