Kyosho 1/64 – MOTN Base LED System

Although scale size and price influence miniature car quality, many of today’s models are beautifully made to capture the hearts and minds of car enthusiasts. Miniature car models would be even more stunning if they could be displayed with lights on and the MOTN LED Base System brings this to reality.

Headlights and taillights light up, just by placing a compatible 1/64 scale miniature car model on the MOTN base. Until now, hobbyists needed a battery box to control lights. As the MOTN base is connected to a power outlet, there are no batteries inside the car and you don’t need to touch the model when operating the power switch. The characterizing design integrity of the interior, such as seats and steering wheel, are maintained so you can enjoy a higher standard of interior display or in a diorama scene.

Due to its contactless design, no wiring is required to connect the base to the car, making lighting super easy. Also, there is no additional light from a power LED to pollute the darkness, so you can activate lighting and enhance the quality of your display just by connecting a USB-C cable. 

As a failsafe, the power supply automatically cuts off after about 10 minutes to prevent any problems from overheating. If an abnormality is detected such as overcurrent or the main unit becomes hot, the LED light on the bottom will flash and the power supply will cut out.

The NISMO 400R was announced as the first MOTN compatible model, but more models are planned to be added in the future. Try the MOTN LED base system as a new way of enjoying the style and atmosphere of miniature car display!

MOTN is an abbreviation for Middle of the Night.
