Zeppin Digital Tweaker Scale Elite

Zeppin introduce their new Digital Tweaker Scale Elite weight measurement system. The patent pending height-adjustable design of the scales ensures an equal height of every platform which makes wheel load measurement as accurate as possible. They system includes four individually powered scales with hardened glass platforms for best possible rigidity against scratches, and rubber feet prevent the scales from moving on the pit table. The main unit sports an easy-to-read black and white LCD screen that helps with visibility even in bright sunshine. The heavy duty yet precise design of the scales allows to measure the individual wheel load of lightweight 1/12th scale to heavy 1/8th trucks alike. Included in the tweak system are four tweaker scales, the main unit and a height measurement tool.

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.
