Kyosho release 2D Racing Clutch

Kyosho 2D Racing Clutch

Kyosho have announced the release of their new 2D Racing clutch which has been developed for high level competition and modern high revving engines. Made to fit their 1/10th scale 200mm chassis’ it seems to be just an upgrade in materials used over the original version, with benefits being to clutch consistency and durability.

A new nickel-plated lightweight flywheel has a smooth, polished surface that allows the clutch flyweights to move smoothly and consistently. The red clutch shoe is the same high-grip material used in the 1:8 Evolva, which provides strong engagement with less slip, which reduces heat.
