Destiny VD12 1/12th scale kit

Destiny Japan have first images and information on their new VD12 1/12th scale pan car available. The car is the brainchild of Finland’s Vesa Yli, the man behind the EFRA Euros winning V-Dezign cars and, although new as a brand, Destiny Japan is backed by the experience and knowledge of Xenon Racing’s Terutaka Hanaumi. As for the car the VD12 builds on a 2.5mm carbon fibre chassis that allows for both longitudinal and transversal battery mounting, while the suspension duties are taken care of by genuine Xenon front suspension parts and a centre shock absorber that can be run in a long and short configuration depending on the battery layout. An innovative independent and adjustable front shock system is smoothing out road imperfections and a symmetrical floating steering servo mount makes for equal left-to-right flex of the chassis. On the rear end a new vertical micro damper layout does away with the traditional laydown tube dampers for improved handling and tuneability. The kit is rounded out by a graphite rear axle with alloy wheel hubs and a thrust-raced ball differential. A release date has yet to be announced.
