Edam Razor 1/8 scale on-road car Categories - Cars, Edam, Gas On Road, Products - comments closed
There is a new gas powered 1/8th scale on the market, from the Taiwanese company Edam. Its called the Razor and it has been created from the ashes of the Yusa XR8 project which seemingly stopped some time ago. Apparently featuring all new moulds for precise fitting of parts, as well as making the parts more durable, this prototype car looks like a mashup between a Kyosho Evolva and the Serpent Vector, with a few other parts thrown in for good measure. The company is currently exploring distribution channels so we dont know when it will be available.

BRX-4 Red Ball Classic 2wd Categories - BRX, Cars, Gas On Road, Products - comments closed
We’ve only briefly covered the Southern Europe specific Classic 2wd 1/8th scale class before and with the exception of Motonica, who have yet to release their classic model, there are no major manufacturers invloved. But within the class itself there are a number of big names and the French made BRX is one of those names having been making cars in this class, in a 25m2 workshop, for close to 15 years. This latest car, the BRX-4 Red Ball, differs from previous versions due to the new fuel tank (from Motonica) and radio plate, which offers better balance, and the placement of the radio equipment and batteries, as well as the new red colouring throughout.
