Zen Racing 1/12th double left clamping hub

Zen Racing have introduced their new double left clamping positive wheel lock hub for 1/12th scale pan cars. This new design left clamping hub will fit any of today’s 1/12th scale axles and it is made to give a positive location to the wheel which when secured will not twist or buckle. The double clamp screws also ensue the hub does not slip on the axle and supports the hub to run true. The hub is wider than normal hubs so rear track width adjustment may be required.

Zen Racing RXGT12 1/12th scale pan car kit

Zen Racing have introduced their new RXGT12 pan car kit for the popular GT12 racing class. With a focus on a simple and easy to work on design the car features simplifications where needed while maximising the important aspects to improve handling and performance. The car utilises a black-anodised aluminium main chassis for a low centre of gravity, a low CG rear pod design and a 3-bolt rear diff assembly with thrust bearing. The front ride height is easily adjusted using supplied shims with the front suspension also featuring spring steel axles and flanged ball bearings. Rear tweak adjustments are performed using side springs inside the damper tubes and the fully adjustable rear ride height can be fine-tuned using the included adjusters. A delrin pivot hole makes for bind free rear pod action and also part of the package are hard-coated pivot and stud balls, aluminium servo posts, black aluminium turnbuckles, a Kimbrough servo saver and a 66T 48 pitch spur gear. The kit is rounded out by a set of wheels and tyres.

Zen Racing 1/12th pan car slot pivot

New from Zen Racing and made for a range of 1/12th scale pan cars is the slot pivot. Sporting the same footprint as the standard Team Associated centre pivot, it takes only seconds to install and forget about. Due to the open design the pivot ball is free to move forwards and backwards in roll, reducing the locking effect and on top of that in the event of a crash it simply resets, doing away with tweak issues.
