Kyosho V-One RRR Evo 2 Categories - Kyosho, Gas On Road, Cars, Products - 1 comment so far 
Kyosho have released information about their latest Kyosho V-One RRR 1/10th scale 200mm, the Evo 2. Designed to be a refinement rather than an all new design, the designers have worked on performance, stability and ease of maintenance. The main chassis plate is completely new with a narrower front end, while the radio plate has been stiffened up to improve drivability. The car also features the 2 speed gearbox from the Evolva M3, a new thicker revised rear shock tower and the rear of the car also sports longer arms to allow the use of 0-offset wheels.

Shepherd Micro Racing Velox Categories - Shepherd, Gas On Road, Cars, Products - comments closed 
Shepherd Micro Racing have announced that they have finally released the Velox, 1/8th scale nitro on road chassis. Packed with innovative and high performance features, the most noticeable of which is the all-new Velox ‘Direct-V-Brake System’ (DVB-System), a system that provides durable and powerful braking through the use of rear axle mounted brake disks and a cable activated braking system. Upon applying the brake on your transmitter, the cable pulls two rear levers that clamp the brake pads against the twin, long life, ventilated disks providing strong and consistent braking performance every time. At the front of the Velox is the car’s steering servo saver that sports a quick one-step easily adjustable Ackerman setting. Using one screw, the user can loosen, easily adjust the setting and re-tighten the front part of the servo saver, enabling quick Ackerman adjustments even while on the track.
