Kyosho has released two new sets of aluminium rear hub carriers, suitable for the MP9 and also the RB5, ZX-5 FS and RT5. The new aluminum rear hubs increase the rigidity of this area helping prevent any power loss. For a wider scope for different setting options each hub is supplied with four upper arm mount positions.

Even more gearbox shafts from CSO, who have produced another lightweight 2-speed shaft, this time for the Kyosho V-One RRR Evo2 WC. A direct replacement for the stock part, it has been made from steel which has been hollowed out for extra weight savings without sacrificing the durability of the part.

CSO products in Hong Kong have released some more gas car options, this time for Kyosho cars. Starting with this new chassis plate, it has been made from 3.1mm thick carbon fibre and is suitable for the Kyosho V3S, 3SR and 3R Evo 2 WC. For the 1/8th scale Evolva, CSO have also introduced a new range of hard coated 7075 T6 aluminium clutch pinions.
Seen for the first time in International competition, this pre-production version of the all new Kyosho Touring car is being raced at this year’s DHI Cup by European Championship finalist Christopher Krapp, who tells us that the new car is much better balanced for use with LiPos. Developed by Shin Adachi, it features bigger bore shocks, which are also longer, new shock towers front and rear, new rear hubs, new stabilizer points front and rear and a higher top deck for accommodating LiPo packs, such as the latest Team Orion version installed in his car. The motor mount is also new and brings the motor 1mm closer to the centre line for better weight distribution.

New from Kyosho is this 1/9th scale electric powered Ultima DB 2WD racing desert buggy ready set. Influenced from the actual buggies raced in the Baja area, this new buggy goes back to the old days of pipe framed buggies. The chassis is based on the Ultima SC meaning that the performance is guaranteed, with the chassis stretched from the original RB5 buggy and large enough to be considered a 1/9th scale. This ready to run Ready Set is not just a backyard basher but a fully race ready chassis with many of the high performance traits from the Ultima RT5.
