Hiro Factory HRF10X-PB Premium Blacky formula kit

Japanese brand Hiro Factory has introduced the new HRF10X-PB Premium Blacky 1/10th formula kit. The car builds on a premium hard carbon fibre main chassis plate and it features the newly developed C-ADJ-S camber and caster system up front that allows to adjust both parameters without the need to change parts, making it swift, easy and reliable. The aluminium servo mount doubles as a chassis stiffener brace and two aluminium triangles enable the racer to adjust the front-centre chassis stiffness. The steering arm design allows to adjust the steering Ackermann to vary the amount of steering available and an O-ring retained battery mount ensures the battery can be swapped without the need for additional tools. Other features include a high-capacity centre shock absorber, all-aluminium precision tube dampers as well as an aluminium ADJ roll plate to adjust overall chassis roll. The rear of the car houses the carbon fibre rear axle, and the ball differential with centre lock type left wheel hub and lightweight right wheel hub. A motor cooling fan mount and height adjustable wing mount round out the package. The car is usable with rubber and foam tyres and it can be built in narrow or wide track specification.

Hiro Factory HRF12X-2015ver 1/12th scale kit

HiroFactory HRF12X-2015ver

Hiro Factory have introduced the 2015 version of their HRF12X 1/12th scale pan car. Available as complete kit or conversion kit for existing HRF12X cars the 2015 spec kit features a redesigned main chassis plate made from US-made high-quality carbon fibre. It is meant to have optimised flex characteristics which is further helped by the new floating servo mount that makes for perfect chassis symmetry and improved left-to-right handling. The chassis also allows for several battery positions including a forth and back placement and a new side link position creates a 4WS effect for more agile handling if needed. Included with the kit also come several 7075 aluminium parts including the front bulkhead, upper arm mount, turnbuckles, damper mount, motor mount and hubs. The kit is rounded out by a large volume, hard-coated aluminium centre shock absorber.
