Kyosho Germany are teasing the next iteration of their double World Champion winning V-One platform with the impending release of the V-One R4. We have no other information on this new car apart from what we can see in the CAD images in the background of this image, which seems to be a longer and narrower fuel tank as well as an ultra low profile. More information as we get it.

Having first shown you CAD images and just a few days ago the first photos, Mugen have now released studio photos of their new MRX-5 together with an interview with lead designer and team driver Robert Pietsch. Successful testing in both Europe and Japan has been completed and Mugen Seiki Japan has given the go-ahead to go into full production effective immediately. Robert has been more than satisfied with the intensive test program and feels the new car offers very high traction and lots of steering. The car is really easy to drive and above all is faster than its predecessor.

The first photos of the new Mugen MRX-5 have been leaked onto the internet. Nothing unusual to be seen in the photographs, looking just like a production version of the CAD images we brought you back in February. With the car seemingly ready, or at least close to final, we could see the car hitting the market in the next weeks.

Kyosho have released details on their new gas powered Formula 1 chassis, the KF01. The simple flat pan chassis is made from 3mm thick aluminium for strength and durability. Up front, the upper wishbone length is adjustable to allow you to change the angle of the front kingpin to change the car’s camber, while the rear end features the same axle suspension system as on the Spada. The body supplied is based on the popular 90’s design which handles extremely well, while the lightweight wings help the overall handling of the car. The supplied Sirio 09 engine provides plenty of power while the special compact exhaust system does a great job of muffling the engine’s noise.

We have shown you CAD images of the new H-K1 prototype IV back in April and today KM Racing have sent us photos and more details on their new 200mm chassis. The car is currently in production and they are aiming for a May 20th World release. As these photos are still of the prototype, there will be some changes from this version and the final production version. Firstly the foam bumper will be using a different plastic bumper top plate as standard, with the carbon bumper top plate shown in the pictures will be sold as option. A receiver box will be included as standard, the shock springs will be black in colour as standard and finally the KM Ultra lightweight clutch system will be included as standard.

Having released details on their prototype H-K1 200mm chassis back in the beginning of February, KM Racing have made some big changes since then and will finally go into production. Refined from the previous version we covered, currently in its 4th revision, the latest car now features an extremely low radio tray and fuel tank to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible. Other changes compared to the previous prototype include the ability to adjust the wheelbase in both the front and rear, while the aluminum middle shaft bracket now features a mounting point for the exhaust mounting spring. We have been told to expect photos of this new car by the end of April.
