Kyosho R4 Evo.2 FTT one-way unit

Kyosho have introduced their new FTT Front Torque Transfer one-way unit for the R4 Evo.2 and R4S II 200mm nitro touring car kits. The adjustable one-way axle combines the best of both worlds, the steering and acceleration performance of a one-way with the braking power or a solid front axle as the unit allows to adjust its internal resistance using silicone oils with the hardness controlling cornering and braking action. The body of the unit is machined from high-quality aluminium for improved heat dissipation while the internal aluminium and delrin spacers allow to fine-tune the one-way action using different thickness fluids. The kit will become available this August.
