Hirosaka edition Kyosho Stallion

We have shown you the work done by Masaaki Hirosaka on the Kyosho Stallion before in which he has completely modified it to the point that it is hardly recognisable. Today on his site he has announced that his version of the car will be shown at this weeks Shizuoka Hobby show, and judging by the very neat and final looking car in the picture above we presume it is getting ready to be sold. Also mentioned on his site is the fact that he will be selling, to order, pre built versions of the standard Kyosho Stallion TF-5, so if you ever wanted your car built by a World Champions mechanic, now is your chance.

Eagle Racing Setup board

Japanese firm Eagle Racing have announced the release of the new version of their setup board for 1/12th, up to 1/8th scale, chassis’. The board itself is similar to most setup boards on the market, but the unique part, apart from the printed measurement, is the built in tweak board. Pivoting inside the setup board it allows the user to quickly check their tweak without the need to setup a seperate tweak board, while the board itself features a flat level so that you know that you have placed the board flat, ensuring that the tweak is accurate.

Crono RS7 Buggy – Pictures

Crono RS7 Buggy

We showed you pictures of the Crono RS7 buggy back in February when the car was shown at the Nuernberg toy fair in Germany but little has been heard of it since. That is until last weekend when a pre production version, it seems, was shown at the French EFRA GP. The car sports new steering blocks, the center shafts use CVDs and while this example looks like a pro version, due to the machined chassis, the shock towers dont look as beefy as those shown previously.
