Kyosho Fazer Mk2 Rage 2.0 4WD RTR SUV racing truck

Kyosho have introduced their new Fazer Mk2 Rage 2.0 1/10th scale 4WD ready-to-run SUV racing truck. The all-new FZ02L-BT chassis has been designed for pure enjoyment on all kinds of terrain. While keeping the cost-performance advantages of the original, the Rage 2.0 has been redesigned with this full-model makeover incorporating the latest racing tech. Core strength has been increased through new materials and ribbing with stiffeners on front and rear, while the simplified chassis design uses less parts to deliver maintenance efficiency and chassis rigidity. In addition, the symmetrical chassis design provides excellent front-rear balance through the suspension and tires with consistent driveability, irrespective of power source. Featuring a slipper clutch, front and rear gear differentials, oil shocks and full ball bearing specs, the high durability and impact resistance of the Rage 2.0 means drivers don’t need to hold anything back over rough roads. The Readyset package comes fully assembled and includes everything except charger and battery for the chassis, and batteries for the transmitter.

Exotek roll out new AE 6.1 series optionals

Coming from Exotek are several new option parts for the Team Associated 6.1 series off-road kits. First up is the Flite top shaft for the Flite spur gear mount. Made for the 6.1 series of laydown and layback transmission kit, but not for the standup transmission, the ultra light top shaft has been drilled and the teeth narrowed for increased acceleration and a cooler running motor. The top shaft teeth are 6.5mm wide which is wider than the lightweight Associated top shaft teeth which helps prolong the life of the plastic idler gear. Substantially lighter than the stock shaft and slipper assembly when combined with Exotek’s optimally available special lightened spur mount, the assembly weighs in at only 9.2g complete with hardware and 69 spur. The shaft is made in Germany and comes black anodised for wear resistance.

ZooRacing PreoPard 190mm touring car body shell

Available now from ZooRacing is their all-new PreoPard 190mm electric touring car body shell. The PreoPard body shell is ZooRacing’s second touring car body shell following the ZooZilla body and it was developed to produce high overall downforce with a focus on increased overall steering while maintaining exceptional rear end stability. The specialised body is the ideal choice for tight and twitchy low to medium traction carpet and outdoor tracks and it offers several aero features such as a recessed roof section that channels the airflow towards the rear wing for great rear end stability at both low and high speeds while the forward placed cabin and the specially shaped front end produce more steering compared to the ZooZilla as well as greater rotation in corners for greater corner speeds and a more nimble handling. The body is outfitted with several trick anti-tuck features such as structured side skirts and a clever rear end design including reinforcement ribs on the trunk lid, all of which add to the overall aerodynamics and looks while greatly preventing body tucks without the need for additional reinforcements. Other features include large wheel arches that allow the body to be placed up to 4mm to the front for increased steering reaction or up to 4mm to the back for increased rear stability – making it 8mm in total. The PreoPard 190mm body shell comes moulded from high-quality polycarbonate and it is available in two thicknesses: a lightweight 0.5mm variant that will weigh in at about 55g cut and including wing while the standard thickness 0.7mm variant will come out at about 83g cut and including wing – meaning the latter will easily make the new 90g ETS rule. Part of the package are also the revolutionary 2-step window masks that will ensure window frames of Pro quality. The EFRA homologated body is rounded out by high-quality wing mounting hardware and a detailed sticker sheet including grille, head and tail lights.
