PN Racing PNR3.0 Formula One Chassis Conversion Kit

New from Mini-Z racing specialists PN Racing is this PNR3.0 Formula One Chassis Conversion Kit. Durability and simplicity were the main intention during the designing process of PNR3.0 chassis series, and there’s no exception for this Formula 1 chassis. The California company wanted to make sure the chassis still fits within Mini-Z’s ecosystem yet help racers achieve the best performance. Compared to most carbon chassis in the market, PNR3.0 chassis is easier to test & tune as racers can use most MR03 parts that they are familiar with and already have on hand, such as our “Double A Arm” “Disk Damper” “Ball Differential” as well as most of our recently released motor mounts.

Yokomo SO2.0 2WD Buggy

Yokomo has released details of its latest 1:10 2WD Competition buggy, the SO2.0. The World Championship winning Japanese manufacturer has given the latest kit 13mm big bore shock for more than 10% more capacity than before for improve performance. It achieves both high stability and response, and draws a smooth turn arc. New steering block makes it easy to match the regulations with new design making it possible to change the tread width by installing it inside out. Normally, the wide tread meets the race regulations, but if you use a wheel with a deep offset, you can clear the regulation by turning the steering block upside down and narrowing the axle position. An aluminium plate is installed under the servo to adjust the weight and rigidity of the front. You can change the effectiveness of the steering according to the road surface conditions. In addition, the mechanical tray, which was previously made of resin, has also been changed to steel, contributing to a lower centre of gravity and improved traction. Another feature of the SO2.0 that Yokomo has added are the front and rear wings with increased downforce and the low-profile body control aerodynamics, contributing to stability at high speeds and posture control during jumps.

Having won the title back in 2021 but forced to miss the race in 2022 due to a clash with the 1:10 Offroad European Championships, Kobbevik’s limited 1:8 racing didn’t hamper his efforts as he topped 3 of the 5 rounds of qualifying to become the Top Qualifier. Mugen’s Vincent Rüger would TQ Q1 & 3 to take pole for the other Semi Final. With ever changing weather conditions, the Semi Finals proved challenging but Kobbevik won his in the faster time to secure pole for the 45-minute final ahead of Rüger and the Kyosho of Mathias Fink. Switching to a softer compound tyre for the final, Kobbevik would quickly run out of tyres causing the battle for the lead to heat up with Rüger. With both drivers adjusting their fuel strategy as the pushed each other unfortunately Rüger would come up short and run out fuel. This gave Kobbevik breathing space he would hold to finish over half a lap up on Kruger. With Fink retiring after just 8-minutes of racing, 11th place starter Danny Kwiatkowski would come through to complete the podium with his Kyosho.
