TopArt is heading to China with two new show exclusives that are sure to turn the heads of scale-model collectors. The brand has unveiled a stunning 1:64 scale replica of the Toyota Supra A90 finished in a menacing Darwinpro Battle Grey, alongside a framed exploded-view version of the same model. Both items will make their global debut at the 9th Chengdu International Auto Show.

This isn’t a wide release. The standard Supra A90 replica is limited to just 500 units, making it a genuine collector’s piece. The framed exploded version, which showcases the intricate inner workings of the Supra in a display-ready format, will be slightly more accessible with a production cap of 2,000 units.

Where and When to Grab One

Collectors attending the event can snag these models directly from the TopArt team while supplies last. The Chengdu Auto Show is one of China’s five A-level automotive exhibitions and is a major platform for brands and builders alike. So far, TopArt has only signaled that the models “will be on sale at the upcoming show,” so those who can’t make it to the venue may need to look for secondary-market opportunities or wait for further announcements.

About the Event

The 2026 edition of the show is scheduled to run from August 21 to August 30 at the Western China Expo City in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Last year’s event drew nearly 120 brands and displayed over 1,600 vehicles. While the auto show is primarily a stage for full-size unveilings—like the Xiaomi Sky Nomad N90 and the Freelander 8—it also serves as a unique venue for diecast and model exclusives.

Why This Matters for Collectors

The 1:64 scale segment is a battleground for detail and precision, and TopArt’s Supra A90 looks to be a serious contender. A Darwinpro Battle Grey finish gives this replica a track-ready aesthetic that stands out from more common factory-color builds. The limited run of 500 units ensures that demand will likely outstrip supply, a familiar story for serious scale-model collectors.

For those who prefer to see the engineering rather than just the exterior, the framed exploded version offers a unique twist. Exploded-view models are increasingly popular among adult builders and collectors for their display value and ability to showcase the mechanical complexity of a vehicle in a single, static frame.

Final Details

Collectors should plan ahead, as TopArt has not yet confirmed whether any units will be held for online sales after the show closes. Given the tight production numbers, in-person buyers at the Chengdu Auto Show will almost certainly have the best shot at securing one of these exclusive replicas.

The 9th Chengdu International Auto Show kicks off on August 21, and TopArt will be there with its latest creations. For collectors and fans of the A90 Supra, this is one of those limited-release moments worth circling on the calendar.

RGT Hobby has officially announced the Pioneer V2 Scale Rock Crawler RTR, an updated 1/10-scale pickup that brings a two-speed gearbox and a beefed-up chassis to the ready-to-run segment. The new model is rolling out in both brushed and brushless configurations, giving hobbyists a choice between entry-level affordability and Pro-level performance.

Pickup Styling and a Steel Backbone

The Pioneer V2 wears a realistic pickup truck body, but the real news is underneath. RGT has switched to an upgraded chassis built around a 1.5mm steel c-frame, a noticeable step up from the previous generation. The crawler rides on front and rear portal axles with a 6mm metal eight-link suspension, and the steering servo is mounted directly on the axle for better articulation and clearance.

Two-Speed Transmission Is the Headliner

Perhaps the most notable feature on the Pioneer V2 is its two-speed transmission. Having selectable gearing on a ready-to-run crawler is relatively rare at this price point, and it allows drivers to switch between low-speed crawling torque and higher-speed trail running without swapping pinions. The main gear in the transmission system uses a slipper design, and RGT notes that all transmission gears are made from high-strength powder alloy to handle extreme loads.

Two Versions for Different Budgets

The standard Pioneer V2 comes with a brushed motor, while the Pro version steps up to a brushless motor and a 40kg servo for more steering authority. Both versions include an ESC from Hobbywing, according to the initial announcement. The standard brushed model listed on several retailer sites is equipped with a 17T or 20T 540 brushed motor, a 15kg metal-gear waterproof servo, and a waterproof crawler ESC.

What’s Included in the Box

RGT is shipping the Pioneer V2 as a complete RTR package. Buyers will find a 2.4GHz 4-channel radio system designed specifically for crawlers—the third channel controls the LED light switch, and the fourth channel can operate a winch. The kit also includes a 7.2V 2000mAh NiMH battery and a wall charger. The detailed body comes with a snorkel, spot lights, and factory-mounted LED lighting in the front and rear bumpers.

Dimensions and Specs

The Pioneer V2 measures 540–560mm in length, 240mm in width, and sits 240mm tall, with a wheelbase of 313mm. Ground clearance is listed at 80mm, and the vehicle weighs approximately 2.6kg. The gear ratio spans from 56.6:1 in low gear to 33.3:1 in high gear, depending on the source listing. The standard version uses a 40A ESC and is fitted with 1.9-inch wheels and tires.

Front-Biased Design for Climbing

RGT has positioned the motor and gearbox toward the front of the chassis—a design choice that shifts weight forward for better front-wheel traction on steep climbs. The company says this front-bias layout helps reduce the chance of rollover when traversing high-angle slopes. The newly designed steering arm can reach a maximum turning angle of 42 degrees, which should help in tight trail sections.

Pricing and Availability

RGT has not yet released official U.S. pricing, but the Pioneer V2 is already appearing on retailer sites in blue, yellow, gold, and ice blue color options. The brushed RTR is being listed as model number RGT86100-R V2 or EX86110, depending on the market. Hobbyists can expect the Pioneer V2 to land at hobby shops and online stores in the coming weeks.

ProMotion RC has launched a new dirt oval racing tire that brings full-scale styling and track-tunable performance to the RC scale. The PMRC Slide Job Oval Bar Tire is available now in multiple compound configurations, each priced at $21.99 per set.

Drawing from Full-Scale Oval Racing

According to the company, the Slide Job was designed to capture the aggressive look of a real race tire while meeting the demands of today’s competitive RC oval racers. ProMotion RC states that the tire’s development was informed by its full-scale oval racing background. The goal, per the company, was to create a tire that delivers strong forward drive, predictable cornering, and adjustability — giving oval racers multiple ways to dial in their setup.

The tread design incorporates several distinct elements: multiple bar sizes, doubled-up bars, two different pin designs, and a directional outer bar that racers can flip to alter side bite as track conditions evolve. The company describes this as a pin/bar hybrid layout.

Tunable Outer Bar Configuration

A standout feature of the Slide Job is the ability to flip the directional outer bar, letting racers adjust side bite without swapping to a completely different tire. This adjustable outer bar is intended to offer flexibility across a range of dirt track surfaces.

Each set ships with two tires and two Advanced Cell Inserts. ProMotion RC offers the Slide Job in six part numbers. The rear tire line includes three options: #4075-R-T1 in T1 compound, #4075-R-T2 in T2 compound, and #4075-R-CO-DD in Double Dot Clay Orange. The standard tire line also includes three options: #4070-T1 in T1 compound, #4070-T2 in T2 compound, and #4070-CO-DD in Double Dot Clay Orange. All six SKUs are listed at $21.99 per set.

A Championship Pedigree

ProMotion RC and J&T Bearing Co. share a strong track record in RC racing. According to the company’s website, ProMotion RC has earned 6X ROAR National Championships, while J&T Bearing Co. holds 11X ROAR National Championships.

The company’s product lineup extends beyond tires to include carbon fiber pit boards, pit mats, tire spikes, and a full line of wheels, foam inserts, and accessories. ProMotion RC says on its site that it was “truly built ‘by the racer, for the racer’” and is focused on advancing RC racing tires, wheels, inserts, and accessories through on-track passion and experience.

ProMotion RC and J&T Bearing Co. also recently announced a new J&T Carbon Fiber Kyosho MP11 Front Top Plate. This component is described as a precision CNC machined direct replacement made from premium 3K carbon fiber. It features a lightweight pocketed design and a laser-etched J&T logo.

Commercial Availability

The PMRC Slide Job Oval Bar Tires are available through the ProMotion RC website at ProMotionRC.com, listed under the J&T Bearing Co. page. Retailers such as Go Fast Hobbies also carry the ProMotion RC line. The company describes its level of support as unmatched, whether for a rookie racer or a seasoned veteran looking for a competitive edge. For dirt oval competitors looking for a tire that blends full-scale styling with on-track adjustability, the Slide Job is available now.

PR Racing has opened pre-orders for the R200X 4×4, a new 1/10 scale electric rally car kit in its Semi Assembled Series. The full product title is PR Racing R200X 4×4 1/10 Electric Rally Kit (Semi Assembled Series). Instead of arriving as a ready-to-run model, the R200X ships as a partially assembled chassis. PR Racing says deliveries are expected around mid to late September. Big Squid RC’s announcement describes the R200X as designed for high-end performance.

Chassis and Drivetrain

The R200X is a four-wheel-drive, off-road electric rally kit with a full-time 4WD system. The chassis plate is made from 2.5mm-thick 7070-T6 aluminum, and 48P spur gears are included. PR Racing’s quick specification list for the R200X covers the basics:

• Scale: 1/10
• Type: Electric rally kit
• Drivetrain: 4WD
• Surface: Off-road
• Power source: Electric
• Assembly level: Partially assembled
• Width: 198-200mm
• Wheelbase: 257-260mm
• Height: Varies
• Weight: Varies

The width range is 198 to 200mm, and the wheelbase range is 257 to 260mm. PR Racing lists height and weight as varying rather than fixed numbers. Big Squid RC’s report repeats the full-time 4WD layout, the 2.5mm aluminum chassis, and the included 48P spur gears as key points.

Suspension and Steering

PR Racing’s suspension details center on 12.8mm Type-R shocks. The shock towers are lowered for an ultra-low center of gravity, and suspension inserts allow the builder to adjust track width, toe, and anti-squat. The kit also has revised Ackermann steering geometry, which PR Racing says improves steering.

3D-Printed Components

The R200X also uses 3D-printed parts in its construction. PR Racing says roughly 25% of the parts are 3D-printed from high-performance CF-Nylon resin. That puts about one-quarter of the kit in printed material, with the aluminum chassis and the other kit components making up the rest of the build. The printed component share is given as approximate, not as an exact count. PR Racing identifies the material as CF-Nylon resin in its product text.

What Builders Need to Add

The R200X sits in PR Racing’s Semi Assembled Series, and the assembly level is listed as partially assembled, so buyers will need to complete the car after delivery. PR Racing’s required-items list includes:

• A 2-channel surface radio system
• A 1/10 scale ESC, motor, and pinion gear
• A high-power, low-profile servo
• A 2S LiPo shorty battery and a compatible LiPo charger
• A motor fan
• A 1/10th rally body and polycarbonate paint

Looking at the list in plain terms, the buyer supplies the control and power chain. The radio system is a 2-channel surface set. The motor side calls for a 1/10 scale ESC and motor plus a pinion gear. The servo must be high power and low profile. The battery is a 2S LiPo shorty pack, and the charger must be compatible with it. A motor fan, a 1/10th rally body, and polycarbonate paint round out the list.

No radio system, speed controller, motor, battery, or body shell is included with the kit. The included 48P spur gears cover the spur side of the drivetrain, while the pinion gear is listed among the items the builder supplies. The tool list is metric: 1.5mm and 2.0mm hex tools plus 5.0mm, 5.5mm, and 7.0mm nut drivers.

Pre-Order and Availability

Pre-orders for the R200X are open now. The stated next step from PR Racing is expected delivery around mid to late September. The kit is identified by part number 55335022. In the United States, PR Racing is distributed by The RC Pro Shop. Additional details are available at PRRacing.com.

Diecast collectors who favor race-ready liveries and JDM-tuned builds have three new 1:64 models to watch for in early 2027. Pop Race, the Hong Kong-based brand known for its premium small-scale replicas of Asian performance culture, has confirmed a trio of releases scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.

The Trio: Track, Tuner, and Le Mans Legend

Leading the lineup is the EVA RT TEST TYPE -01 AMG GT3 EVO, finished in the livery it wore at the 2023 Macau GP. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 platform has been a staple of GT racing worldwide, and Pop Race’s version captures the aggressive aero package of the EVO update. The model carries product number PPR640196.

Next up is the PANDEM LOTUS ELISE in green. Pandem is a well-known Japanese wide-body tuner, and the Lotus Elise—already a lightweight sports car—gets the full Rocket Bunny treatment with flared arches and a deeper front splitter. This model is numbered PR640494.

The third entry is the FORD GT GTE PRO, wearing the livery it campaigned at the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ford’s return to top-level endurance racing with the GT was a highlight of the late 2010s, and Pop Race’s miniature version lets collectors add a bit of Le Mans history to their shelves. The product code is PR640609.

Scale, Specs, and the Pop Race Approach

All three models come in the 1:64 scale, Pop Race’s bread and butter. The brand has built a following for its detailed recreations of modified street builds, time-attack machines, and racing icons. According to modelcars.com, a retailer specializing in the brand, Pop Race models feature premium details such as authentic wheel designs, lowered stance, rubber tires, opening features on select releases, and photo-realistic liveries. The brand celebrates Asian automotive performance culture, capturing JDM legends, Hong Kong street culture, and modified street builds in premium 1:64 and 1:43 scales.

While the exact price points for these three releases haven’t been announced, Pop Race’s typical pre-order pricing for similar 1:64 models has ranged from HK$108 to HK$128, based on previous listings on the official site. Pop Race’s catalog leans heavily into Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) culture, Hong Kong street-scene vehicles, and racing homologation specials. The new Ford GT GTE Pro is a bit of a departure, reflecting the brand’s occasional forays into global endurance racing subjects. The AMG GT3 EVO, meanwhile, ties into their growing collection of Macau GP tributes—a race that holds special significance for the brand’s home base.

Pre-Order and Availability

Pre-orders for these models are expected to open ahead of the Q1 2027 window, following Pop Race’s usual release cadence. Retailers such as Horizon Diecast and ModelCars.com have already listed other recent Pop Race pre-orders. Many earlier Pop Race models, including the Pandem Elise and Fuso Truck Set and the Spoon NSX-R GT Macau GP, are listed as Sold Out on Horizon Diecast, indicating that production runs are limited. Pop Race has not yet specified a precise month or shipping date within Q1 2027. The three models are identified by product numbers PPR640196, PR640494, and PR640609.

If you’ve been hunting for a rare Kyosho Ferrari or a classic Colin McRae Subaru, now might be the time to act. Canadian retailer Garage 73 has opened pre-orders for a fresh wave of limited edition 1:18 diecast models from Kyosho and KK-Scale, and allocations are expected to move fast.

Three Kyosho Icons Up for Grabs

Kyosho is dropping three standout configurations that cover very different corners of automotive history.

First up is the Ferrari F40 Lightweight LM Wing in Rosso Corsa. This is the more extreme, race-inspired spec of Enzo Ferrari’s last personally approved supercar, finished with the fixed rear wing and black split-rim wheels. Kyosho’s F40s have long been a cornerstone of the brand’s reputation, and this scarce configuration is one collectors will want to reserve before allocation runs out.

Then there’s the Ferrari 250 GTO #20 from the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans. The real 250 GTO is routinely called the greatest Ferrari ever built and has become the most valuable car in the world, with prices north of $50 million. Kyosho’s replica captures the car in its distinctive light green livery with correct wire wheels, roundels, and period detailing. It’s one of several 250 GTO liveries arriving, offering a rare chance to park genuine racing history on the shelf.

Rounding out the trio is a grail for rally fans: the Subaru Impreza 555 driven by Colin McRae and co-driver Derek Ringer at the 1994 RAC Rally. Kyosho has recreated the legendary Repsol blue-and-yellow livery with gold wheels, works rally stance, and period sponsor decals. This model captures a beloved rally car for those who followed McRae’s career.

KK-Scale and a Big 1:12 F40

Alongside these Kyosho limiteds, KK-Scale continues its prolific run of 1:18 street classics. The German manufacturer, founded in 2014 by Martina and Martin Kosmann in Senden, has built a reputation for high-quality diecast at collector-friendly prices. This month’s arrivals include Porsche 930 Turbos, Ferrari 288 GTOs, Testarossas, and more.

Also landing is the big 1:12 scale Ferrari F40 Lightweight with a full opening rear clamshell – a showpiece for anyone who wants to see the engine bay in large scale.

How to Get Yours

All of these models are available to pre-order now through Garage 73, which ships from Quebec. For Canadian collectors, there are no duties or customs fees on domestic orders. Kyosho allocations are limited and don’t come around often, so reserving early is the surest way to lock one in.

Garage 73 has been steadily expanding its brand lineup, recently adding dealer status for AutoArt, Polistil, Exoto, and LCD Models, making it a growing hub for premium 1:18 diecast in Canada. The retailer also offers free shipping within Canada on orders over $300, and international shipping is available upon request.

If you’ve been looking to turn your stock SCX24 into a serious trail-conquering machine, Mofo RC just released a new option that might be exactly what you need.

The company has launched the Stingray Class 3 Comp Chassis Kit, an aftermarket frame designed to give the popular Axial-based micro crawler a significant performance boost. The kit is built with competition crawling in mind and brings a host of thoughtful engineering details to the table.

Built From 7075 Aluminum

At the heart of the Stingray chassis is its construction. It’s machined from 7075 aluminum, a material known for its high strength-to-weight ratio in the RC world. This choice should help keep the build light without sacrificing rigidity, a critical factor when crawling over demanding obstacles.

Mofo RC has also focused on lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity, stating that it sits below the center line. This is a key design goal for comp crawlers, as a lower center of gravity improves stability on steep inclines and off-camber sections.

Key Features and Details

The Stingray chassis comes packed with features that cater to the competition crowd. Among them are front lower links with integrated weighted sliders, which can help lower the rig’s center of gravity even further. The entire assembly is designed to work with Mofo RC’s own Pancake motors.

Accessibility is handled by a hinging magnetic top cover, making it easy to get to the electronics without fumbling with clips or screws. The chassis also includes a multi-position carrier bearing and has mounting holes for MEUS dig units (though this requires some plastic trimming) and Unicorn bodies.

For those looking to mount a body, the Stingray features both Unicorn mounting holes front and rear. Other details include built-in rubber band mounts and the inclusion of convenient tiny nut wrenches.

Specs and Pricing

The chassis is set to a 172.5mm wheelbase and features an optimized 13.25-degree skid plate angle—numbers that put it squarely in Class 3 competition territory. This specific geometry is intended to help the chassis slide over rocks with minimal hang-ups.

The Mofo RC Stingray Class 3 Comp Chassis Kit is priced at $169. It’s available for purchase through Mofo RC’s website, and it will likely appeal to SCX24 owners who are looking to push their rig further into competitive rock crawling.

About Mofo RC

Based in Texas, Mofo RC has carved out a reputation as a go-to source for high-performance micro crawler parts. They specialize in precision-engineered upgrades for a variety of platforms including the SCX24, SCX30, AX24, and TRX4M. Their lineup includes body kits, high-torque servos, hardened steel drivetrain components, custom long-travel shocks, and heavy-duty X15 axles, among other items. The company also produces its own in-house performance line called Mesmo.

With a focus on quality and durability, Mofo RC aims to give enthusiasts a competitive edge on rugged terrain, at local rocks, or during crawling events. According to the company, each part is crafted to ensure a seamless build process and maximize crawl time.

For SCX24 owners ready to level up their build, the Stingray Class 3 Comp Chassis Kit is now available directly from Mofo RC.

If you’ve already laid hands on Kyosho’s updated INFERNO MP11 buggy and are looking to change up its look on race day, the company just gave you three new options. Kyosho has released a trio of pre-cut polycarbonate body sets for the 1:8 scale nitro off-road platform, giving owners a way to swap shells without reaching for the scissors and a fresh paint jar.

Three Styles, One Chassis Fit

The new bodies are all made from 1.0mm thick polycarbonate and come pre-trimmed to match the MP11 chassis. They are separate purchases from the kit itself, and buyers should note that some finishing work is still required. According to Kyosho, processing is needed on the muffler exhaust outlet and engine area to match the chassis. Each set includes a decal sheet coordinated with the package coloring and a window mask sheet.

Here’s what’s available:

• IFB028H – Precut Non-Decoration Body Set (Hard) – $44.99
• IFB028HW – White Precut Body Set (Hard) – $44.99
• IFB028HC1 – Color T1 Precut Body Set (Hard) – $52.99

The Non-Decoration set is a blank, clear shell printed with the package coloring, while the White set gives builders a solid white base. The Color T1 set bumps the price to $52.99 and comes pre-printed in the package’s own color scheme.

Built for the Next-Gen Inferno

These bodies are designed specifically for the INFERNO MP11, which Kyosho calls the first full model change in the Inferno lineage in six years. The MP11 replaced the MP10, originally launched in January 2019, and brought with it an all-new chassis, revised suspension and drivetrain, and an all-new body designed for peak aerodynamic efficiency.

Key chassis changes include a newly developed 3mm 7075 aluminum main chassis with hard anodizing, a revised front-weight-biased balance, and suspension geometry that Kyosho says delivers higher cornering speeds. The MP11’s stock body and rear wing were already tuned for high-level aerodynamic performance, and these new pre-cut sets offer an alternative look while keeping the same fit.

What to Know Before You Buy

Because these are sold as optional parts, they are not plug-and-play. The pre-cutting saves the step of trimming the shell blank to the chassis outline, but the user must still open the muffler exhaust outlet and engine bay area. The included window mask sheet helps with painting, and the decal sheet matches the packaging design.

For racers and builders who want to run different liveries on the same chassis without buying and painting a whole new raw body, these sets offer a convenient shortcut. The hard polycarbonate construction matches the durability expected from a competition-grade 1:8 buggy.

Availability

The new body sets are listed on Kyosho America’s website. Kyosho notes that the MP11 itself is an unassembled kit that includes its own special clear body, wing, window mask, and logo decals in the box. These new pre-cut sets are a separate purchase for those who want a backup shell or a different color option ready to go.

Fresh off its recent release, the HOBBYWING Xerun V10 G5 sensored brushless motor is getting a detailed look from one of the sport’s top competitors. Professional RC driver Spencer Rivkin has posted an unboxing and feature breakdown video for the new 17.5-turn G5 motor, giving racers a close-up look at the latest evolution of HOBBYWING’s competition-focused power plant.

What’s New in the G5

Rivkin’s video covers the G5 generation’s key updates versus the outgoing G4R platform. The numbers tell a compelling story. According to official specs from HOBBYWING, the V10 G5 delivers a 3.9% increase in maximum output power and an over 4% improvement in heavy-load efficiency compared to the G4R 13.5T motor. That translates to more punch on the straight and less energy wasted as heat during long mains.

Weight has also been a major focus. The G5 sheds about 13 grams compared to its predecessor, and the center of gravity has been shifted 1.4mm toward the output shaft for better chassis balance. For racers chasing every ounce of agility, this is a meaningful improvement.

Cooling and Customization

Heat management was a clear priority in the G5’s design. The new endbell exposes more of the winding for direct airflow, and the cooling port area is over 15% larger than the G4R. A dedicated rotor cooling structure, protected by patent, further helps keep temperatures in check during high-intensity racing.

HOBBYWING has also introduced adjustable Hall sensing distance, offering three rotor-to-sensor spacing settings that let drivers fine-tune throttle response and power delivery feel. Additionally, the Hall timing accuracy can now be dialed down to within 1° of tolerance, or even down to 0.2° with professional calibration using the company’s Tunalyzer tool.

Two Flavors of 13.5T

While Rivkin focuses on the 17.5T version, the V10 G5 lineup spans multiple turn counts. For the popular 13.5T class, HOBBYWING offers two distinct variants:

• Standard (SPEED) version: Higher RPM ceiling, suited for medium-to-low grip surfaces and larger, flowing track layouts.
• Torque version: Stronger rotor feel, optimized for medium-to-high grip and tighter, technical courses.

Both versions share the same core G5 upgrades but are tuned for different track conditions. The rotor part numbers are 30820461 for the Standard Edition and 30820462 for the Torque Edition.

Built to Last

HOBBYWING hasn’t skimped on internals. The G5 motor uses a high-performance premium stator core, a reinforced rotor coating rated to 180°C, and top-tier bearings designed to survive harsh race conditions. A special surface coating on the rotor provides corrosion protection while enhancing magnetic performance, boosting load capacity and power output.

Maintenance is also simplified thanks to a modular design that allows quick disassembly for cleaning between rounds — a feature that can prevent late-day power fade at multi-heat events.

Rivkin’s Take

The video, published by RC Car Action, features Rivkin walking through the unboxing and highlighting the updates firsthand. As a pro driver who competes at the highest levels, his insights carry weight for the competitive stock-racing community. The V10 G5 is purpose-built for 1/10th and 1/12th Stock racing, and Rivkin’s breakdown gives viewers a genuine competitor’s perspective on what the new motor brings to the track.

Availability

The HOBBYWING Xerun V10 G5 motor is available now in multiple turn options, including 13.5T, 17.5T, 21.5T, and 25.5T, with both SPEED and TORQUE configurations in the 13.5T class. For racers looking to upgrade their setup, the G5 generation represents a measurable step forward in power, efficiency, and tunability straight from the factory.

LCD Models is treating Hong Kong collectors to a pair of exclusive color variants for two of its most popular diecast molds. The Chinese manufacturer will release Hong Kong-exclusive finishes for its Pagani and Lamborghini Revuelto models, with arrival scheduled for October 2026. Product numbers have not yet been assigned, so collectors will need to watch for official announcements.

What’s Coming

The exact colors haven’t been revealed in text, but the company has shared images of the new variants. The Pagani and Revuelto molds are already established in LCD Models’ lineup, and these Hong Kong exclusives will offer something different from the standard palette. Given LCD Models’ track record with previous regional exclusives, these are likely to be distinctive shades that stand out on any shelf.

About LCD Models

According to the company’s official website, LCD Models traces its roots to 1996, when founder Mr. Huang Peng first became interested in modeling while apprenticing at a factory in Guangdong. Together with Mr. Lin Weijia, he accumulated expertise in CNC machining and mold making, eventually founding the Dongguan Humen Lichengda Mould and Metal Product Factory in 2008. The LCD Models brand was launched in 2015, and the company now operates its own factory and R&D team in Dongguan, handling everything from design and tooling to painting and assembly in-house. The brand’s motto is:

Persist because of passion!

LCD Models holds official licensing from a roster of major automakers including Land Rover, Pagani, McLaren, Lamborghini, Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, and most recently Koenigsegg (with models expected in 1/18, 1/43, and 1/64 scales). The brand is known for high-fidelity details, and its 1/18 scale “Full Open” models feature opening doors, bonnets, and tailgates. Even its 1/64 scale releases, like the Toyota Supra A80, include opening bonnets with visible engine detail—a rarity at that scale. LCD Models produces diecast models in 1/18, 1/43, and 1/64 scales, as well as 1/10 and 1/12 scale motorcycles.

Previous Hong Kong Exclusive

This isn’t LCD Models’ first Hong Kong-exclusive drop. In 2025, the brand released a limited Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta in 1/64 scale exclusively for the Hong Kong Toycar Salon Exhibition. That model was sold through retailers like India’s Inaboxstore, where it was listed at a sale price of Rs. 4,599 and quickly sold out. The new October 2026 exclusives continue that pattern of offering unique colors for the Hong Kong market.

Where to Watch

While LCD Models hasn’t named a specific retailer for these exclusives, Toy Street HK—a Hong Kong-based diecast specialist in Yuen Long—carries a comprehensive LCD Models selection and is a natural candidate to stock the new variants. Toy Street HK offers free delivery to Kowloon and New Territories on orders over HK$100 and operates a 24/7 online store, making it easy for local collectors to secure these pieces. Collectors outside Hong Kong will need to check with their usual diecast retailers or look for international shipping options once the product numbers are announced. Product numbers have not yet been determined, so collectors should monitor official channels for the full details.
