Yokomo RS2.0 Touring Car Kit with Alu Short Shock Conversion

Originally launched as their first entry level 1:10 Electric Touring car back in 2023, Yokomo is now offering the latest RS2.0 of its Rookie Speed platform with with an Aluminium Short Shock Conversion. The Japanese manufacturer has added this light tune-up edition pre-equipped with front and rear 3.5mm-thick graphite shock towers and the aluminium short shock conversion. Compared to standard plastic shocks, high-precision aluminium cylinders absorb both sudden inputs and fine vibrations to maximise tire grip. This gives smoother, more stable cornering and prevents traction loss during heavy braking or tight turns. The 3.5mm-thick graphite shock towers securely hold the shock absorbers in place, maximising spring and damper performance to give you precise, responsive handling. Powered by a responsive dual-belt drive system, the latest RS2.0 chassis caters to everyone from touring car beginners stepping up their game to seasoned experts looking for a race-ready setup.

Krazed Builds 7XF TRF421 FWD Conversation Kit

Bringing us the A12F Veyron Kit F1 earlier this year, US based Krazed Builds has announced the up coming release of its 7XF kit, an innovative Front Wheel Drive kit designed for the TRF421 1:10 Electric Touring Car from Tamiya.  It was designed with the focus of keeping all the original TRF421 parts used and no chasing down random ones from other suppliers.  Starting from the ground up they designed a 7075-T6 Aluminium chassis focused on tunability with symmetrical flex in the right places giving control and power where its needed.  They have maximised stability in the rear suspension so the front can do its job.  Moving the stock motor mount forward they were able to maintain balance with performance and keep all electronics in a nested area for controlled weight transfer.  This leaves room for drivers to fine tune their balance on scales. Not being a fan of stacking all the weight over the front tires and hoping the rear stays planted, this helped create what Krazed Builds believe is a better transfer of weight on and off power.  The 3D printed bumper has the ability to use popular cylindrical weights with Awesomatix making these in 5 gram and 10 gram units that have a threaded centre hole.  Adding a Carbon Fiber upper bumper brace drivers can attach up to 70 grams directly in front of their wheels.  They also added a few extra locations towards the rear to attach these weights as well as the popular stick on ones.  In addition to the 7075-T6 Alloy chassis, the 7XF kit also includes 2mm Carbon Fibre front and rear top decks while in the rear it comes with a new 4mm Carbon Fibre body mount plus 2 carbon shims for the rear shock tower mounts.   You also get two new Carbon Fibre Battery holders plus a belt for the new driveline.
