CRC Carpet Knife Twenty5 Japan Edition

Japanese CRC distributors Kimihiko Yano have introduced a special Japan Edition of the CRC Carpet Knife Twenty5 1/12th scale pan car. The CK25J kit is available with a carbon or aluminium chassis, it comes with a matching lower pod plate, a new carbon fibre sliding servo mount plate as well as the light weight carbon fibre X Brace. The car will use a longer wheelbase than the standard US version that allows to run long Xray side links while the servo mount plate utilises KO Propo or Sanwa servos. In addition the distance between the centre pivot and the rear axle was shortened to improve rear traction which is further helped by the new X Brace. Features such as the LCG sliding motor mount, the new-design front bumper and the balanced double-clamping left wheel hub were taken over from the popular US version.
