Kenny’s 1978 Championship bike is back - as an R/C model

 

Kyosho’s 1/8 scale electric R/C Hang-On Racer motorcycle series has long been loved for its dynamic action and groundbreaking technology. The S.D.S.S. (Semi-Direct Steering System) allows fully self-supporting riding so these models offer a level of running stability far beyond conventional R/C bikes.

Since its debut in 1992, the Hang-On Racer series has earned a loyal following, and now the 1978 Yamaha YZR500 joins the lineup. This machine was famously driven by American racing icon Kenny Roberts in his first World Grand Prix 500cc championship-winning season. After making a stunning debut in the top-tier 500cc class, Roberts won the title in his rookie year and went on to dominate with three consecutive championships through 1980, earning the ‘King Kenny’ nickname.

As the first YZR500 to be modeled in the Hang-On Racer series, Kyosho conducted detailed research on an existing 1978 machine, carefully replicating its form and intricate details. The front suspension—previously an inverted-type shock with the cylinder positioned on top—has been switched to an upright design to match the actual bike, improving both scale appearance and handling.

Built on a high-precision chassis known for quality and performance, the bike features a rider figure linked to the steering system, enabling ultra-realistic cornering posture and excellent drivability.

Whether you're a longtime fan of classic GP racing or a modern R/C enthusiast, the Hang-On Racer Yamaha YZR500 1978 with Kenny Roberts rider is a must-have kit that blends iconic motorsport heritage with thrilling R/C performance.

● Recreation of the 1978 World Road Racing Championship 500cc class winning machine and rider.
● Includes decals in the Yamaha Works colors, famously associated with Kenny Roberts.
● Highly detailed body shape based on 3D scans of the original bike.
● Equipped with S.D.S.S. for realistic full-lean hang-on cornering.
● Features an upright front fork suspension identical to the real machine.
● Mini chain and sprocket drive system faithfully replicates the original drivetrain.
● Brake calipers and discs are modeled after the real bike.
● Comes standard with three durable metal pinion gears.
● Unassembled kit includes the Le Mans DM20 motor.

Lightweight and Easy-to-Assemble
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
These privacy screens are three separate panels, which is really convenient if you don’t need to use all of them at once. I’m currently using two to section off part of my craft room for storage, and it’s working perfectly. They’re lightweight and super easy to move around, so I can rearrange my space whenever I need to. Assembly was simple—everything went together quickly without any hassle.

Great for Privacy, Just a Little Flimsy
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
I recently got this room divider to create a bit more privacy in my home office, and it's been really handy. The thick polyester fabric helps block out distractions, and it's great that it's waterproof, so no worries about spills messing it up. The metal feet keep it stable enough, though I've noticed it can feel a bit wobbly if bumped. It's also super easy to fold and store when not in use, which is a huge plus if you have limited space like I do. Overall, it’s a practical addition, though handling it gently might be a good idea.

Perfect for Creating Private Spaces Without the Hassle
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard, Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
I recently picked up this Kecreque 3-panel room divider because we needed a flexible way to break up space in our garage. I wanted a place to hook up a small tv and play my SuperNES — and honestly, it’s been a fantastic purchase! First off, it’s bigger than it looks in pictures — fully opened, it stretches over 8 feet wide and stands about 6 feet tall. The panels are made of a thick, waterproof polyester fabric that feels much sturdier than I expected for the price. Plus, the steel frame is scratch- and rust-resistant, and the curved feet make it really stable. (No wobbling or tipping, even when our cats decide to race past it at full speed.) Assembly was straightforward — my husband did it himself in under 30 minutes with just the included instructions. The panels clip into the frame easily, and you can adjust the angle of each section depending on how much space you want to close off. It’s also surprisingly easy to move and fold up if you need to put it away; I just fold it flat and tuck it into a corner when it’s not in use. I really appreciate how low maintenance it is too — a quick wipe with a damp cloth has kept it clean. It’s been great for creating a semi-private video game nook, but I can also see it being perfect for an office, a church event, or even a kids’ room (the ad says it can “calm down arguments,” and honestly, I can believe it). Final thoughts: This is a sturdy, well-made, and versatile divider that’s easy to set up, reposition, and store. It looks clean and simple in any area or room and has held up well to daily use. Highly recommend if you need a practical and stylish way to create private spaces without committing to permanent walls!

Quality, and not overly complicated
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard, Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
This is so easy to put together, the parts are numbered, and the wordless instructions are clearer than some I've seen. The material/fabric is pleasant to the touch, and of decent quality. I like that the panels can be used independently of each other, or connected together, depending on your space. Also, the cloth velcros onto the frame, so it can be removed easily for cleaning if need be, without unbolting anything. The combined weight in the box is decent, but once built, each panel is fairly light and easy to move around, while feeling sturdy/not going to fall over unless they're being mistreated. It's a bright sunny afternoon, and I took a picture looking towards a window, so you can see it blocks most things unless directly silhouetted by the bright light on the other side.

Great purchase, easy to put together and maneuver and does the job
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
Easy enough to put together, the nylon curtaining is a bit thin so will either replace or just pin something decorative and thicker to it. Easy to maneuver and does what you need it to do. Right now its leaned against a set of french doors in my room which unfortunately reflect headlight from the street into the room. This has been very useful for blocking that, Also have used it for the intended purpose of privacy other places also. you can also pin the kids pictures to it to show them off, Think outside the box with this nice screen.
