Yokomo YRX-12 2019 Edition 1/12th pan car kit

Coming soon from Yokomo is their YRX-12 2019 Edition 1/12th scale pan car kit. Next year’s edition will feature a new front suspension design that allows either a king pin or coil suspension option to be used and it builds on a newly designed aluminium main chassis that is included as standard in the kit. The chassis comes strategically milled to provide a lower centre of gravity and an optimised torsional flex which is needed for high-grip circuits to prevent traction rolls. The steering response has been improved by moving the centre damper forward and in combination with the increased rear traction, a minimum of steering angle is needed to guide the car through the corners, resulting in an overall improved balance. The front body mount has also been moved further forward in order to provide better body support especially at high speed. In addition the body mounts are now mounted on a separate graphite plate on top of the main chassis to reduces chassis scrub when cornering and to improve speed and provide smoother turning. The 2019 kit will ship from end of August and should hit stores soon after.
