The body is moulded from .040 polycarbonate and comes with window masks and a logo decal sheet.

Zen ZFC014 formula 1 chassis kit

Zen have released first images of their forthcoming ZFC014 formula 1 chassis kit. Information on specification and features are pretty vague at the moment but it is understood that the set is a conversion or “80 percent” kit that needs the addition of a Tamiya F104 front end and rear axle/differential. The carbon fibre chassis allows to use shorty LiPo battery packs in longitudinal and transversal position, it offers a single bellcrank steering and the power pod links mount in quite unconventional manner as they span from the most outward end of the chassis to a position way behind the rear axle whereas usually the links mount to the front end of the power pod plate on most cars. We bring you more information on the kit as soon as they become available.

PSM introduce the floating battery mount

German company PSM are known for their innovative after market option parts and while working on the a shorty LiPo battery chassis conversion kit for the Yokomo B-Max4 III, Stefan of PSM came up with the idea of a floating battery mount. While the buggy offers a floating servo mount from stock, an idea adopted from the electric touring cars, taking away the influence of the battery on the twist of the chassis seems like a new approach to get every little bit of performance and predictability out of the 1/10th scale buggies, especially since a carbon fibre chassis, such as the upcoming shorty pack conversion, offers more flex compared to the kit’s aluminium chassis. From what is understood PSM is testing different configurations of the mount at the moment and we keep you up to date with the progress.
