KM Racing H-K1 200mm prototype photos

We have shown you CAD images of the new H-K1 prototype IV back in April and today KM Racing have sent us photos and more details on their new 200mm chassis. The car is currently in production and they are aiming for a May 20th World release. As these photos are still of the prototype, there will be some changes from this version and the final production version. Firstly the foam bumper will be using a different plastic bumper top plate as standard, with the carbon bumper top plate shown in the pictures will be sold as option. A receiver box will be included as standard, the shock springs will be black in colour as standard and finally the KM Ultra lightweight clutch system will be included as standard.
