Kyosho Setup & Clutch tools

Kyosho have released a number of new items to help you either setup your gas car or make working on it easier. Firstly is this ride height and droop gauge set, for both 1/10th scale as well as 1/8th scale cars like the Evolva series. Placing the stepped base under the stepped part at the rear of the Evolva M3 chassis plate, means you can measure the droop precisely regardless of wear of the bottom surface of the chassis. Also new is an adjustment tool for the clutch spring, which performs the job of tightening or loosening the nut simply and precisely. Other tools include a exhaust spring hook & front anti roll bar blade adjuster, a flywheel wrench that makes the installation or removal of your flywheel from any engine a breeze and a new Knife Edge stepped tip reamer, marked at 7mm, 9mm, 11mm, 13mm and 15mm for easy reference. Finally, for keeping your glow plugs at hand for a quick change during a race, Kyosho have release 2 new aluminium glow plug holders, a red version for standard plugs and a purple version for turbo plugs, both holding up to 8 plugs in each.

JConcepts D8 & MP9 Illuzion shells

JConcepts have released 2 new buggy shells for the World Championship winning Hot Bodies D8 and the Kyosho Inferno MP9. The Illuzion Hi-Flow body has turned radical, presenting a smooth yet detailed design while incorporating many of the features from the original Hi-Flow body. Special consideration has been made for the MP9 considering the air filter, side guards, battery box and extra clearance around the throttle and brake linkage. In addition, JConcepts has taken the frustration out of the stock body design and has detached the front nose piece for extra durability and functionality, which is now bolted to the front shock tower utilizing an existing non structural 3rd screw. Race inspired aggressive styling, Illuzionized cab and durable design are just some of the features that make these new Illuzion bodies stand out.
