JConcepts Ultima RT6 RM Finnisher bodyshell

JConcepts introduce the Ultima RT6 RM Finnisher bodyshell for Kyosho’s 2014 Cactus Classic winning 1/10th stadium truck. Based off the T4.1 Finnisher, the RT6 compatible variant has been updated to include pre-dimpled locations for the RT6. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the unique RT6 geometry while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while, like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the Finnisher body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The body includes the high performance gurney spoiler which increases rear grip and balances the handling characteristics of the aggressively styled body.

Kyosho Scorpion B-XXL VE & Nitro

Seen for the first time at this year’s Nuremberg Toyfair and available now is Kyosho’s gnarly looking Scorpion B-XXL VE 2WD large scale buggy. The 640mm long vehicle is based off the Scorpion XXL dune buggy and features a 3mm aluminium chassis with sturdy, reinforcing side frames, long A-arms with large volume oil-filled shock absorbers, adjustable suspension components, and a fully ball-raced drivetrain with adjustable slipper clutch and fluid-filled gear differential. The buggy is powered by a genuine Team Orion drive set in the form of a water-protected Vortex XXL brushless speed controller and a Vortex Seven Monster brushless motor. The factory assembled buggy also comes with a KT-201 2.4GHz radio system, pre-installed high-performance steering servo, pre-finished buggy body with inner mud and splash guards as well as grippy off-road tyres on headlock rims. Not included is a 4S LiPo battery pack, batteries for the radio and a charger. From April the vehicle also comes in a nitro-powered version with a 5.4cc engine and a large volume 200ml fuel tank that allows for a running time of around 15 minutes per tank.

Also new from DE Racing is a mud guard for the Hot Bodies D812 that attaches to the rear arms using factory holes.

The smallest spur gear to fit the current 1/10th slipper clutch allows the lower ratios typical for this type of racing and it is made from high-quality composite material for low weight, high strength and low running noise.

New design Kyosho Inferno MP9 engine mount

Kyosho’s nitro off-road mastermind Yuichi Kanai introduced this new engine mount for the Kyosho MP9 1/8th off-road buggy. Instead of using two separate base plates the new mount is of a 1-piece U-shaped design which is understood to help with stability and rigidity while the engine itself is still mounted using spilt mounting blocks. The gun metal anodized part comes laser-etched and will become available from end of April.
