Edam Zoom 1/8th EP buggy

Edam have released details on their new 1/8th scale belt drive 4wd electric buggy called the Zoom. More known for their on road exploits, this is the company’s first attempt at the offroad market. Unique in the sense that it uses a fully covered 2-belt system instead of a shaft drive in a 1/8th scale, it looks more like a blown up 1/10th scale. The car can be configured to accept 4 different battery systems, single or double 7.4V packs or single or double 11.1V packs, has a 5mm thick aluminium motor mount and shock towers and 13mm diameter metal shock absorbers.

Edam Spirit & Esprit solid axle adapter

Edam release a new optional part for the Spirit and Esprit 1/10 scale on-road cars in the form of this solid axle adapter. The insert turns the gear differential into a solid axle for those who prefer to use a front one way and a spool rear axle. Best suited for high-grip surfaces as the conversion provides stability, a more linear acceleration and also saves some weight over the stock gear differential.
