There was indeed one or two Fireball kits appeared in Hong Kong. It was Global rc (the small shop next to Waigo, sold BMT car and airplanes, closed already) and Harmony (Hung Sing) once disappeared a kit). Don't know who bought it.
The fireball came originally with a BMT 1/10 fuel tank and narrowed 1/8 rear rims (white color) to suit the 1/10 spec.
The third and fourth photos Fantom have some interesting modifications. See like the owner made a extra bearing support in the middle of the front axle.
The rear axle also has an interesting modification in the middle. Anyone knows what is in the rear?
Thanks for the answer. This make sense. My understanding was that Phoenix was known to be very fast but very hard to control due to no suspension and rather primitive design. This fantom has differential in the rear makes it a gem among all fantoms
I believe the original fantom has no differential in the rear, correct?
Anyone has personal driving/building experience with Fantom?

Hello,
I had driven the Fantom 20 both the 2wd to 4wd versions. Mine was a conversion from 2wd to 4wd and the set was bougth from Lai Chi Kwok Tak Cheong). Basically the standard 2wd kit was solid axle. The 4wd was of course a milestone to Kyosho. I remember a driver, Mr Chung (from Macau??), had quite good performance with Fantom 2wd at Shatin course. The 4wd with OS engine was the winner in pan car era. (Cheung Kin Ming, Nikki Kong and James Choy Chi Keung formed a strong team) However, the Spur gear hub worn out fairly fast..
The were various hop up and long lasting tires from Thirty Products.
The special belt and rear oil shock version only appeared in the Tokyo WC.
The independent 4wd 2speed Fantom IS only sustained for a short period. Samuel Chui Sin On was one of the few drivers. Too much metal parts and worn out very fast.
