Kyosho Plazma Ra 2.0 1/12th scale kit

Kyosho Plazma Ra 2.0 1/12th scale kit

Coming this November is Kyosho’s Plazma Ra 2.0 1/12th scale pan car kit. Building on the 2011 Plazma Ra kit the 2.0 variant features some subtle design revisions to make it easier to adapt the car to a range of track conditions from slippery up to high-grip thanks to a widely adjustable centre shock and the ability to run both a crank-type or direct steering assembly. A new king-pin strut system of the front suspension allows for easier and more precise camber, caster and track width adjustments and also simplified maintenance. Grooves in the chassis allow to run the 1S LiPo back in a forward or rear position and the centred motor position delivers optimal left-to-right balance. The kit is rounded out by a high-torque ball differential with thrust bearing and 4mm adjustment nut.
