Team Grid drop-in camber tuning kit

The Team Grid drop-in camber tuning kit enables vertical camber link tuning on the Associated TC6 and TC6.1 touring cars. This kit utilizes the existing holes on the front and rear shock towers for infinite vertical camber link ball tuning. Since most racers are using the #1, #3 and #7 camber locations on the stock towers, the Team Grid camber kit allows for the exact use of these camber holes along with the flexibility of the inverted ball link system, which provides added positive and negative vertical adjustments from these locations. The camber kit also includes an extra tuning hole between #1 and #7 for even more tuning capabilities. Any 3mm spacer from 0.1 up to 6mm can be used for all the tuning.

Kyosho V-One R4 & Plazma Ra parts

Kyosho have introduced some new parts for the V-One R4 and Plazma Ra. First up for the R4 as well as the RRR is this new yellow clutch shoe. Testing by team drivers around the world resulted in this new clutch shoe which is an improvement in temperature handling and offers better clutch engagement of Kyosho’s own 3D racing clutch. Next up are differential bevel gears made of hardened steel which increases the lifetime of the gear differential especially under the load of today’s engine power. The gears also fit the gear diff of the Ultima series offroad cars too. Finally there is a high quality titanium screw set for the 1/12 scale EP Plazma Ra racing car. The use of the titanium screw set reduces the overall weight of the car for better acceleration and overall handling.
