Also new is a Split Horizontal or Vertical Body Mount Set which allow for tuning of the rear bulkhead flex. SP1 owners also get three new Fibreglass Top Decks options, one front and two different cuts of rear decks.

New from Marc Rheinard’s MR33 brand is this Low Power Flex Bumper for the Awesomatix A800R Electric Touring Car. Weighing just 9.8g the 2mm lower design further optimises the centre of gravity.

Yokomo MD2.0 Champion Edition

Team Yokomo is releasing the kit of drift team driver Kai Ito who won the World Championship at the world-class drifting event “WTDC” held in Malaysia. The base machine is the MD2.0, which has a front-rear balance that emphasises steering maneuverability while taking advantage of its high rear traction. The front lower arm is also made of resin instead of graphite with a ball pivot, which improves handling and response. Because the suspension structure provides sufficient rear grip, the motor is purposely set in a low position to obtain agile motor performance. By eliminating the sluggishness often associated with high-mounted motors, the motor’s combativeness in pursuit scenes is enhanced.
