Overview of the Kyosho DRX R246 Rally Chassis

The Kyosho DRX R246 brings a race-minded build to the 1/9 nitro rally segment with parts compatibility for the R246 options range. Its sturdy construction and tuning range make it a good match for mixed-surface stages and grassroots rally contests.

Engine and Drive System

The model runs on a GXR18 engine with a recoil starter to simplify cold starts. A separate-type clutch sharpens throttle control, while the long wheelbase and 3-differential full-time 4WD layout deliver stability and balanced weight distribution for loose or firm surfaces.

Race-Ready Suspension and Protection

Suspension components are designed for quick swapouts, with interchangeable arms and knuckles that speed repairs. Knuckles include rock guards to limit debris interference, and the independent four-corner suspension offers generous travel for rough stage work.

Easy Servicing and Options

The chassis kit supports a variety of R246 optional parts so you can tune damping and geometry for specific tracks. Practical features include a dust-resistant radio box, large oil-filled shocks with height adjustment, dual disk braking, and a 103cc fuel tank for longer run times between refuels.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/9
  • Drivetrain: 4WD
  • Engine: GXR18 with recoil starter
  • Tires: High Grip Rally Pattern
  • Fuel Tank Capacity: 103cc
  • Suspension: 4-wheel independent

For hobbyists who enjoy setting up and refining handling, the Kyosho DRX R246 delivers a versatile platform that copes well with varying terrain and event formats.

Most option parts use standard fasteners and can be fitted with metric hex drivers and screwdrivers. Specific setup may call for feeler gauges or thread locker for critical joints.
The radio box is designed to resist dirt ingress but is not fully waterproof. Keep electronics sealed and avoid deep water crossings to protect components.
Start with medium spring rate and moderate damping; increase oil weight and spring rate for faster, rougher stages to control bottoming over jumps and ruts.
Use Kyosho-approved replacement clutches or high-quality aftermarket units matched to the GXR18. Keep a spare clutch shoe set and springs in your pit kit.
