Yokomo YZ-2 aluminium caster hub carrier

Yokomo have introduced aluminium C-hubs for the YZ-2 2WD off-road buggy. Constructed from high-quality aluminium and coming black anodised with silver, machined details the hubs are made to replace the standard composite parts with a more rigid and thus more precise solution. Using the carriers will make for a more linear handling of the buggy especially in high-bite conditions and the design utilises the standard composite inserts for swift suspension geometry changes.

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.
