Sweep Racing V3 buggy wheel

Sweep Racing are pleased to announce the release of the V3 Dish wheel for 1/8 scale buggies. Sporting a weight of 34 gram at a diameter of 83mm the wheels are both strong and light. Although very light, they are also exceptionally strong and measure the maximum diameter of 83mm. They also feature ten ribs to provide a rigid structure to prevent excessive flex and create a very true running wheel. The gluing beads have a sand paper like finish to improve bonding performance with the tires without additional preparation. An additional glue path on the gluing beads keep the glue from overflowing out of the bead and prevents an overflow into the insert.

Kevin Lee joins Kyosho

Kyosho are very proud to announce UK top driver Kevin Lee as their new team driver. He will be running the new Lazer FS2 SP in 4WD and will continue with the Kyosho based Vega mid-motor buggy in 2WD. As well as winning many Nationals, Kevin is a multi European A finalist and his skills and knowledge will be a big asset to Team Kyosho. This is what Kevin had to say about the deal:

“I’ve always been a big Kyosho fan, ever since running the original Lazer ZX a long time ago as a teenager. After running the Vega RB5 SP2 in 2011, I have been converted back, and now can’t wait to start running the Kyosho Lazer once again (some 20 years on..). It’s an honour to be able to represent one of the most respected RC manufacturers in the world, and I hope to be able to contribute to the results of an already successful race team”.
