Axial Yeti 1/10th rock racer kit

Following the RTR version, Axial’s Yeti 1/10th scale 4WD rock racer is now also available in kit form. Featuring a solid rear axle and independent front suspension, its distinct aesthetic and technical elements were inspired by full-size desert trucks. The kit version will accept standard 1/10th scale brushed and brushless 4-pole systems and most major stick pack batteries. Precision machined aluminium shocks are standard equipment and deliver smooth suspension movement for consistent handling while 2.2″ Falken Wildpeak tyres make for good traction in a range of track conditions. Included are also clear body panels, an interior tray and three driver helmets.

Yokomo YRF 001W rear friction tube damper spec kit

The Yokomo YRF Formula 001W competition formula chassis kit has been updated with the new rear friction tube damper system which is based on the same system that has been tried and battle-tested on the R12C3.1 1/12th scale kit. By outfitting the 001W with this type of suspension system the overall weight is reduced and the side-to-side balance has improved, allowing better control and sharper turn manoeuvres. The kit comes with two types of front suspension arms to support both foam and rubber tyres with the wide specification suspension arms are used with foam tyres to achieve higher corner speeds, while the narrow specification suspension arms are used with rubber tyres to make for a more scale appearance.

Yokomo Drift Package DPR & Imadoki Alpha kits

Yokomo Drift Package DPR & Amadoki Alpha kits

Yokomo introduce two new drift car kits in the form of the Drift Package DPR and the Imadoki Alpha. Starting with the Drift Package DPR, the kit offers a new suspension and steering design, with the front-end, the most important aspect in drifting, has been re-engineered to adapt with the front driving style which is becoming popular among today’s drifters. High steering angles can be achieved with the wide-pivot long wiper arm and aluminium upper and lower A-arms. The narrow-scrub type steering block gives a more linear response and the suspension fine-tuning can be made by adjusting the roll centre and camber setting while the precision aluminium motor mount allows low-geared settings.
