Leadfinger Racing A2 Tactic MP9 TKI4 body shell

Now available from Leadfinger Racing is the newly updated A2 Tactic body for the Kyosho Inferno TKI4 nitro buggy. The A2 body design for the MP9 TKI4 is the second generation to the original Assassin. Track conditions can have a drastic change over long race weekends, making the A2 the perfect choice for added tuning as the sleek and aggressive styling gives an all around balanced feel.The windshield has been given less rake then that of the original Assassin, easing steering slightly. Additional height has been taken out of the cab and widened front to rear, helping to lower the centre of gravity, and giving the car a more planted feel. The rear swoop behind the cab has also been lowered, with additional down force added to the top of the side pods. Bump outs have been added for throttle linkage and fuel tank clearance. The A2 body for the Kyosho TKI4 is made of thicker lexan, comes clear and ready for paint with window masks and stickers provided.

Yeah Racing body post markers & 1/8 fan mount

Coming from Yeah Racing are two new items in the form of magnetic body post markers for 6mm posts and an aluminium fan mount for 1/8th scale motors. Starting with the magnetic post markers, the items help to precisely drill touring car body mount holes as they conveniently locate the body post position on both clear and painted body shells. The set consists of four aluminium body post maskers and four O-shaped magnets and using the tools is very easy as the clamping-style body post markers are simply attached to the body posts, then the body will be put on top and placed as needed. The four magnets will then be placed on top of the body posts from the outside, marking the body post positions while also holding the body in place. Through the magnet’s holes the body post positions can be marked using a sharpie pen and drilled using a reamer. The set is available in red or black colour.
