Available soon from SpeedMerchant is the RoadKill 10 235mm pan car kit. The car underwent a slight redesign after its initial introduction some weeks ago and it will now come with slightly narrower power pod to allow the use of Jaco tyres as well as the wider and very poplar BSR wheels. The kit is based on a wide carbon fibre chassis that allows to use standard as well as shorty and square LiPo battery packs. Up front the kit features a new-style suspension assembly with a simplified upper A-arm arrangement while in the rear a tried and tested link-type suspension comes to the fore. Dual roll dampers and a lightweight centre shock complete the suspension setup. The first batch of the RoadKill 10 kits will come without a rear axle but all standard 235mm axles should fit as do the famous IRS axles that are now being made by R.C. Hobbies/Hyperdrive/MSA. From the second batch on the kits will include the IRS2135 235mm axle.
