Kyosho Inferno GT2 Type-R 1/8th GT chassis

Kyosho America have introduced the Inferno GT2 Type-R 1/8th scale nitro on-road chassis for the ever growing GT class. To realise improved circuit performance, the base GT2 is now equipped with almost 20 optional parts and packaged as a high-performance build kit. Starting with optimised chassis rigidity, high level grip is maintained around the rear, and combines with upgraded braking performance to ensure the weight of the chassis can be delivered to a controlled stop. Other features include the MP9 TKI3 style RC layout, aluminium oil shocks and shock stays, anti-roll bars, centre universal swing shafts as well as a 3D bumper for a maximised aerodynamic effect without panels flapping. The Type-R kit is rounded out by a set of 45 degree KC slick tyres on 5-spoke wheels.

Team Durango DETC410v2 touring car kit

Team Durango have introduced the DETC410v2 1/10th 4WD touring car kit. The refined version features some subtle changes that will improve precision, consistency and overall track performance with the car still being based on a carbon fibre double deck chassis with aluminium bulkheads but the suspension components are made of a stiffer composite material with increased carbon fibre content for reduced flex especially on high-grip surfaces and in high ambient temperatures.

Other new composite parts include precision ball cups with removed unwanted play and also the suspension hanger inserts have received a make-over with the new parts offering even higher precision.
