Kyosho Hang On Racer 1991 Honda NSR500 Electric 1/8 Motorcycle Kit

A Legendary Racing Machine Reborn

The Kyosho Hang On Racer 1991 Honda NSR500 Electric 1/8 Motorcycle Kit brings the excitement of Grand Prix racing into the world of R/C with a faithful recreation of Honda’s iconic 1991 works bike. This model captures the look and spirit of the NSR500, which competed in the 500cc World Championship, and includes racing number decals to replicate famous riders from the era. Designed with both display and driving in mind, this model offers a stunning level of visual detail from the aerodynamic bodywork to the chain-driven rear wheel and realistic asymmetrical swingarm suspension.

About the Motorcycle

Dynamic Steering with Realistic Rider Movement

At the heart of this R/C motorcycle’s realism is Kyosho’s unique S.D.S.S. (Semi-Direct Steering System), which allows the bike to lean naturally into corners—just like a real racing motorcycle. Enhancing this effect is the articulated rider figure, which features 13 points of movement and responds with the bike's steering to simulate hang-on riding posture. This dynamic interaction between the rider and the chassis creates lifelike movement and cornering behavior, delivering a thrilling and immersive R/C experience that feels more like piloting a full-sized bike than driving a model.

Engineered for Performance and Accessibility

Though highly detailed and performance-oriented, the Hang On Racer NSR500 is designed to be approachable even for beginners. With relatively few components and a straightforward assembly process, hobbyists of all skill levels can enjoy building this kit. The model is powered by the included Le Mans DM20 motor, which offers balanced power for smooth control. The upgraded metal pinion gears and chain-driven rear wheel enhance durability and drive efficiency, while the mono-shock rear suspension and inverted front fork further contribute to its stable and responsive handling.

Display-Ready Design with Practical Features

When not in action, the NSR500 doubles as a striking display piece, complete with a dedicated bike stand to showcase its impressive scale fidelity. Details such as the brake calipers, discs, and wheel design are carefully modeled after the original bike, making it a collector-worthy replica. For added usability, optional fall prevention guards can be fitted to support the bike during standing starts or extreme lean angles, providing protection and ease of handling. The combination of performance, scale realism, and build simplicity makes this kit a standout in the world of electric R/C motorcycles.
