KM Racing V-One RRR Copper Battery tray

KM Racing have come out with some more parts for the Kyosho V-one RRR, with the release of this new battery tray. Made from copper, the tray brings weight to the lowest and most central point on the car, which not only helps increase chassis rigidity but also helps stop the car from traction rolling in high grip conditions. Machined with 2 grooves for tape to mount the battery, it sports the KM Racing logo engraved on the bottom.

Jared Tebo Limited Edition ST-RR

Kyosho America are packaging the Inferno ST-RR alongside a Team Orion CRF Rev .21 engine to give you the Jared Tebo Limited Edition ST-RR. Limited to 50 pieces, your money will also get a Tebo autographed numbered decal and Jared’s Silver State setup sheet. The release didn’t give any word on whether buying both the standard car and engine together is a better deal than buying them separately, but without any extra option parts or anything else special included, we would hope it is.
