Kyosho tease new off-road truck

Kyosho have been busy in the last couple of weeks, releasing teasing videos of forthcoming kits, one of which will be the re-release of the iconic Javelin 1/10th 4WD buggy. In a new video the Japanese company now allows a first sight on their “Project 2RSA” that appears to be some sort of a vintage baja truck given the front suspension design and old-school-ish body shell. No other information is available for now beside what is visible in the video.

Capricorn TE-03 V4 big bore shock absorbers

Coming from Capricorn and made for their TE-03 electric touring car are the V4 big bore shock absorbers. The shock body and shaft are 2mm shorter than the previous version, while the pistons feature a lip on their inner lower side to avoid the suction effect when they hit the bottom of the case, resulting in a more linear response. Used in combination with specific shock towers, the V4 shocks are meant to be used on carpet as they should increase the car’s responsiveness.

Tekno reveal more EB410 details

Tekno have revealed more details of their forthcoming EB410 1/10th scale 4WD electric buggy kit. Lifting the hood the EB410 appeares to be a shrunken-down version of Tekno’s popular EB48 1/8th E-buggy kit with the centre diff being placed in a rear/centre position while the motor is sitting mid ship. The shorty battery pack found its position in the front, just behind the steering servo while receiver and speed controller are located on the passenger seat, just in front of the motor, leaving the rear section of the chassis pretty much free of everything and making for a somewhat extreme forward weight bias given this is a 1/10th 4WD buggy. The kit is scheduled for a release in a few weeks and for now you can find more images and information after the break.

3DRC floating 25mm twin fan mount

Germany’s 3DRC have introduced their all-new twin fan mount for 25mm fan units. The 3-D-printed part is of a clamping design and it was developed to take two standard 25x25x10mm fans which makes for optimised cooling of the whole motor can when compared to single 30mm or 40mm fans while also ensuring a lower overall centre of gravity. The mount is best used in front of the motor and a large mounting patch ensures secure yet tweak-free mounting using high-quality double sided tape.
