Kyosho have released a number of new optional parts for their Inferno GT and DBX/DST chassis’. First up is this set of universal swing shafts for the DBX and DST, which allow for smoother operation, improved efficiency and less maintenance in this area of the transmission. For all 3 cars there are some new larger diameter, hard anodized shock bodies which aim to increase durability and which have been threaded to make quick and easy ride height adjustments. Finally for use with the new big bore shock absorbers are a range of 3 different hardness shock springs, to aid you in fine tuning your car to different conditions.

Pro-Line Vortex for Kyosho Lazer ZX-5

Get ready to cool those high voltage brushed or brushless systems in your Kyosho Lazer ZX-5 with the new Vortex body by Pro-Line. Designed to give your car the latest in off-road styling and function, the Vortex was born from today’s top electric racer IFMAR Off-Road World Champion, Ryan Cavalieri. “We need a body that will better cool the brushless systems we are using and looks like it is ready to compete,” says Ryan Cavalieri. So, Ryan, along with Pro-Line’s body moulding experts, set out to create something that improved the overall performance of the car’s electronics and the car’s performance on the track. With 4 unique cooling features (1 on each side of the body, 1 directly underneath the front wind shield, and 1 on top of the cab), the Vortex received it’s name.
