Kawada TA05 Pro Kevlar white belt

Kawada TA05 Pro Kevlar white belt

Japanese firm Kawada have announced that in the middle of July they will start selling these pro belts for the Tamiya TA05, as well as for their own Sigma 2 chassis. This new white belt differs from the original which uses glass fibres for strength, by using kevlar, which not only means it is very strong and resists strectching but its also softer and therefore provides a smoother drive train for your car.

Kawada, the company that brought you the M300 RSX 1/12th scale chassis, have announced that they will be showing these new larger diameter wheels for the first time at next weeks Shizuoka Hobby show. Made to fit their 1/12th scale, the new profile (on the front wheel at least) looks similar to that from the Kyosho Evolva 1/8th scale wheel design, with the rear wheel also having the same profile. Kawada are also hinting at a new electric touring car to be shown for the first time at the same show, showing only a heavily pixelated CAD image, ahead of its official unveiling next week.
