‘Tamiya x Jun Watanabe’ Light Jacket

In a collaboration with Japanese graphic designer Jun Watanabe, Tamiya has released this fashionable limited quantity lightweight jacket. Part of the ‘Tamiya by Jun Watanabe’ apparel line, the polyester jacket is offered in three colours – blue, black and burgundy.  Watanabe, who has worked with brands like Reebok and Asics, had a previous kit collaboration with Tamiya which saw the release of a special edition Hornet 1:10 buggy that was exclusively available through Japanese online fashion destination Zozotown. The jacket has no lining making it light, soft to the touch and comfortable to wear. The print on the chest and hem is a reflective specification that reflects light and stands out even at night. Seam tape processing prevents rain from entering around the accent colour pocket. The zipper on the front has an original ‘Tamiya by Jun Watanabe’ puller for a premium feel.

New Picco Oval venturi

Italian engine manufacturer Picco have released a new oval shaped venturi for use with .21 sized engines.  First seen as part of their recent P3TT Limited edition buggy engine release, the venturi is now available for use in all engines.  The ‘Oval’ venturi offers a progressive opening: the surface of a horizontal ellipse evolving more gently than the round opening of a regular restrictor. The result is that on a low traction track the engine has smoother acceleration for improved drivability and fuel consumption.
