Kyosho have introduced the updated version of their Evolva M3 1/8th scale on road car, the M3 Evo.

With a focus on the drive train, the car sports a new 2 speed transmission, gears & shaft as well as a new centre and rear bulkheads and new rear belt. The M3 Evo also has a new chassis plate for increased flex, new more rigid lower rear suspension arms and a new rear sway bar system and lots more little changes.

Jared Tebo Limited Edition ST-RR

Kyosho America are packaging the Inferno ST-RR alongside a Team Orion CRF Rev .21 engine to give you the Jared Tebo Limited Edition ST-RR. Limited to 50 pieces, your money will also get a Tebo autographed numbered decal and Jared’s Silver State setup sheet. The release didn’t give any word on whether buying both the standard car and engine together is a better deal than buying them separately, but without any extra option parts or anything else special included, we would hope it is.
