Kyosho Fantom Wheel Wrench

Having unveiled the 1:12 Phantom EP 4WD Ext Gold 60th Anniversary Limited Edition back in May, Kyosho has released a wheel wrench specifically designed for use with its iconic chain drive 1:12 kit series. The 12mm socket on the main body is used for attaching and detaching the wheel. By inserting the included 5/5.5mm adapter into the 12mm socket, you can change it to a 5mm or 5.5mm box wrench. 5mm can be used to adjust the ball differential (EFW007), and 5.5mm can be used to remove and install the gear differential fixing nut. In addition to the Fantom series, the 5.5mm socket can also be used to attach and detach 4.8mm ball studs. The 5/5.5mm adapter can be stored in the main unit by opening the back cap of the main unit, making it compact and portable. The main body and adapter are red anodised, and the Fantom logo and size are laser engraved on the side of the main body and each socket.

That part is the new engine backplate with revised internal workmanship that further optimises the performance/consumption ratio. The WC version of the GP9 was a must after the excellent results obtained at the World Championship where it achieved the TQ with Simon Kurzbuch and a double podium with Toni Gruber finish P2 and Kurzbuch P3.

Hasi Tuned 7R and 9R .21 Onroad engines

Hasi Tuned has announced that its new 7R and 9R .21 onroad engines are now available. Compared to the current engines the main feature of the new 7R and 9R is in the material of the cylinder. As previously featured here on Red RC, the new engines are equipped with an aluminium sleeve (AAC) instead of brass (ABC). A new red cooling-head and new graphics immediately identify the new engines. Similar to the brass models, these were also tested over several months before release on the market in order to guarantee, as per Hasi Tuned policy, a product of high quality, easy to use, without compromising performance. Like for the ABC cylinders, the new AAC version can be fitted on any OS base engine starting from the R2101 and ending with the R2105.
