Legendary hybrid 1/12 racer with 4WD & 3P suspension Arrives as a kit after more than 30 years!

In the 1980s, 1/12 scale electric on-road racing was defined by fierce competition between 4WD models with ladder chains and agile 2WD cars with 3-point (3P) suspension. Kyosho’s Phantom EP-4WD dominated on both temporary parking-lot tracks and permanent asphalt circuits, while the rear 2WD Plazma series leveraged its lightweight design and simple drivetrain to excel where battery efficiency was key.

From this competitive era emerged a hybrid — the Plazma Phantom — which combined the Plazma’s main chassis and rear suspension with the Phantom’s drivetrain. Piloted by Kyosho works drivers, it blended 4WD traction with 3P suspension adaptability to deliver outstanding race results. But no kit was ever sold, leaving enthusiasts to build conversions from individual parts. Now, decades later, the wait is over. The Phantom PZF T-33 brings the Plazma Phantom to market as a kit for the first time. More than just a parts combination, the Phantom PZF T-33 features newly developed components for performance beyond what was possible in the ’80s. The quick-handling T-33 body also returns, expanding the body lineup.

Compared to building a Plazma Phantom from separate re-releases, the Phantom PZF delivers better cost efficiency and puts a true works-spec machine within reach. Now enhanced with modern refinements for even greater performance!
