Coming from Tuning Haus and designed on cooperation with Randy Caster are thread-on setup wheels for 1/10th touring cars. Coming in a set of four wheels they help to get critical adjustments like camber and toe-in just right as they keep variances like wheel, insert and tyre diameter out of the equation. Different from other setup wheels the Tuning Haus parts further simplify the process by threading directly onto the axle; eliminating the need for a separate wheel nut. They are perfect for the use with 1/10 touring cars, Formula chassis, drift cars, and others with 4mm threaded axles. Manufactured from billet aluminium and anodised black, they feature durable rubber O-rings and come packed in a convenient storage case.

Coming this Winter is Yokomo’s all-new 190mm 1/10th Formula pan car kit. The yet nameless car will use a newly designed 2.5mm main chassis specially developed for shorty battery packs. It offers a flexible battery layout, a floating servo mount, long side links and a sliding rear centre pivot. The front suspension is completely redesigned compared to the previous model and it will allow for inline or trailing wheel axles to adjust the steering characteristics. Included in the kit is also a large volume centre shock absorber and a 7075 duraluminium motor pod. More information will become available in November with the kit being set to hit the stores in the second week of December.
