Kawada Stepped Body Reamer Categories - Kawada, Tools, Bodies, Products - add a comment
Japanese company Kawada becomes the latest company to release its own body reamer, with this rather nice example. Featuring a black anodised finish, the lightweight handle and included aluminium tip protector are stylish yet functional, with the unique element of this tool being the cutting tip. The reamer tip is slightly stepped so that you can easily and accurately open a hole to a desired size, while for ease of use either side of the reamer tip sports measurements in mm and inches.

Kawada TA05 Pro Kevlar white belt Categories - Kawada, Tamiya, Accessories, On Road, Products - comments closed
Japanese firm Kawada have announced that in the middle of July they will start selling these pro belts for the Tamiya TA05, as well as for their own Sigma 2 chassis. This new white belt differs from the original which uses glass fibres for strength, by using kevlar, which not only means it is very strong and resists strectching but its also softer and therefore provides a smoother drive train for your car.
