 Its major competitor in the RC automobile market is Tamiya.Kyosho has avoided direct competition against Tamiya in the hobby grade RC cars market since the 80s and 90s, where Tamiya was most active, focusing instead on designing professional 1/8 scale racing buggies, Mini-Z series, and RC helicopters; areas in which Kyosho dominates today.The company is best known for the "Inferno", its 1/8 scale competition buggies; "Mini-Z" series, and RC helicopters, but it also produces remote-controlled bipedal robots in the Manoi series.
