Kyosho release 2D Racing Clutch Categories - Kyosho, Accessories, Engines, On Road, Products - comments closed
Kyosho have announced the release of their new 2D Racing clutch which has been developed for high level competition and modern high revving engines. Made to fit their 1/10th scale 200mm chassis’ it seems to be just an upgrade in materials used over the original version, with benefits being to clutch consistency and durability.
A new nickel-plated lightweight flywheel has a smooth, polished surface that allows the clutch flyweights to move smoothly and consistently. The red clutch shoe is the same high-grip material used in the 1:8 Evolva, which provides strong engagement with less slip, which reduces heat.

Italian site RC Bazar have a nice article (in Italian) of the Team Orion Wasp Rev .12 with lots of pictures. This is the first time i have seen inside this engine and if you havent seen it yourself it will make for interesting viewing. As many know this engine by CRF for Team Orion is a very unconventional motor that features many patent pending technologies so its nice to see it up close.

Through Mirage Racing, RS Falcon have announced the release of this .28 truggy motor. It just shows the growing competitiveness of the truggy class when competition engine manufacturers are making motors specifically for it. This seems like a very nice motor, from the same stable as Ninja and Boss, and features some very cutting edge internals as you would expect from a motor with big names like GRP and Mario Rossi behind its design.
You can view more detailed pics and information here.

Expect to see air filters, glow plugs and oils for off road racing from Orcan in 2007.
