CSO front lower aluminium bumper

CSO release a front lower aluminium bumper for a range of 1/10th electric touring cars such as the CSO One, the Xray T3 and T4 as well as the RGT R2 and the MTS FF. The bumper weighs in at 12g and thus is substantially heavier than the stock composite part which can be beneficial when running low-grip spec tyres as it improves chassis roll during cornering. The bumper is a direct replacement and comes black anodised and laser-etched with CSO logos.

Yokomo Drift Package DPR & Imadoki Alpha kits

Yokomo Drift Package DPR & Amadoki Alpha kits

Yokomo introduce two new drift car kits in the form of the Drift Package DPR and the Imadoki Alpha. Starting with the Drift Package DPR, the kit offers a new suspension and steering design, with the front-end, the most important aspect in drifting, has been re-engineered to adapt with the front driving style which is becoming popular among today’s drifters.
