Yokomo MR-4BX World Spec kit

While the MR-4BX Factory kit by Yokomo was only announced in March, there is already a new version available in the form of the World Spec. The car features newly designed front and rear shock towers that aid the cars aerodynamics through improving the airflow to the rear wing while a new mouting position of the rear dampers aids their durability. The car also features a revised layout for the main components, shifting weight backwards, which helps the cars stability in the air and finally they have also increased the number of tuning possibilities in the upper pivot arm mounts to help you further fine tune the cars setup. You can get the World Spec as a stand alone kit or if you own the previous version you can also purchase a conversion set.

Yokomo SD12-TR Racing Truck

We briefly wrote about this 1/12th scale 2wd truck from Yokomo, called the SD12-TR, back in April and at the time we didnt know much about the car other than the very basics. Today CML in the UK have released details, and lots of pictures from the truck.

Featuring championship-winning technology, the heaviest components of an electric R/C car such as the motor and battery, have been reduced in size for lighter weight. Powered by a high-power motor (included in kit: Yokomo Mini-Zero 290-27T) and a high power Yokomo Nickel Metal Hydride battery (sold seperately) high-performance running can be easily enjoyed in stock kit form.

Yokomo SD12 TR 2WD Electric Truggy

Yokomo have released some details, althought only in Japanese so far, about their new SD12 TR truggy. This rather robust looking car is electric powered and despite how you may judge it based on its front wheels, is in fact 2wd. All the other details about this 1/12th scale car are unknown to me, but if you can read Japanese which i know some of our readers can, please post some info into the comments section for this story.
