JTP RB6 & ZX6 Race Series Carbon parts

New from JTP RC, the brand of 2013 IFMAR 2WD Buggy World Champion Jared Tebo, come the Race Series Carbon parts for the Kyosho RB6 and ZX6. Starting with the 2WD parts, available are a front and rear shock tower with the front shock stay giving improved front end feeling through the corners and over obstacles by increasing uptravel. On top of this the 4mm material gives better strength and a more connected feeling of the car. The shock tower was designed for the use with the long LA43 shock ends.

Destiny VD12 1/12th scale kit

Destiny Japan have first images and information on their new VD12 1/12th scale pan car available. The car is the brainchild of Finland’s Vesa Yli, the man behind the EFRA Euros winning V-Dezign cars and, although new as a brand, Destiny Japan is backed by the experience and knowledge of Xenon Racing’s Terutaka Hanaumi. As for the car the VD12 builds on a 2.5mm carbon fibre chassis that allows for both longitudinal and transversal battery mounting, while the suspension duties are taken care of by genuine Xenon front suspension parts and a centre shock absorber that can be run in a long and short configuration depending on the battery layout. An innovative independent and adjustable front shock system is smoothing out road imperfections and a symmetrical floating steering servo mount makes for equal left-to-right flex of the chassis. On the rear end a new vertical micro damper layout does away with the traditional laydown tube dampers for improved handling and tuneability. The kit is rounded out by a graphite rear axle with alloy wheel hubs and a thrust-raced ball differential. A release date has yet to be announced.

Awesomatix A800A alloy chassis touring car kit

Following the introduction of the A800 carbon fibre chassis car, Awesomatix now also have images and more information of the aluminium chassis variant available. Called the A800A, the car uses the same suspension and drivetrain parts but a newly designed, 2mm aluminium chassis whose thickness, machining and material makes for optimised flex characteristics while the unique convex shape not only improves longitudinal stiffness but it also adds a certain “ground effect”. More stiffness is added to the car with the help of the taller AM115 chassis stiffener, whereas the carbon car comes with the lower AM110 stiffener. Apart from these two parts both kits are identical with the carbon car being best suited for low to medium grip conditions while the alloy kit is designed for medium to high-bite surfaces. Both kits are available now.
