We are proud to announce an exciting collaboration between Phoenix RCC and RRP, marking the beginning of a new era in collective RC innovation. This project launches with an exclusive, limited production run of just 10 cars. A unique offering for RC enthusiasts and collectors.

 

Inspired by the legendary Masaaki Hirosaka-san, the RMX-97 represents a high-tech fusion of two iconic platforms: the 1997 World Champion edition MX4 Prototype and the 2001 mid-motor (YMP013) conversion. The original YMP-013 was developed to support the production Yokomo MX4 and featured front and rear plastic bulkheads; materials that presented certain reliability challenges.

 

With the RMX-97, we have successfully adapted this conversion for the RRP RX4E kit. This model retains the optimal mid-motor position of the YMP-013 while reintroducing the beautifully crafted alloy front and rear bulkheads from the 1997 world championship-winning car.

​

Drawing on deep Formula 1 engineering experience, Phoenix RCC has integrated the best elements of both platforms into the RMX-97. Notable innovations include a three-part top deck for improved maintenance and drivetrain accessibility. The car is also equipped with RRP’s latest high-performance hop-up options from both the RX4E and RMX platforms.
