We have written about the OCM Racing Kaos DT-19 buggy way back in November, but only now is the final production spec ready and shipping worldwide. The long delays were down to fixing some quality issues which they understandably wanted sorted before release, but its now ready and expect to see it in your LHS soon.

Our mates Rube Dude have the first studio pics of the soon to be released OCM Kaos DT-19T, that we showed you last week. This car is now ready for release and will include all the innovative features we have come to expect from OCM in their buggy range but it will sport a few others. The Diffs on this baby will be nice and solid from what we understand sporting 6mm diff output shafts and large sun gear that is 2.5mmx11.8mm. And of course OCM uses the finest aircraft grade alloys and hard anodising on all its parts so this truggy will not only be turning heads but should also be very competitive.

Our partners oOple have created a dedicated section on their site, giving an extended review of the JConcepts BJ4WE. The intention of this section is to show the performance of the BJ4 worlds edition car, and how it has developed since its first debut in Collengo, Italy – at the worlds in 2005. Paul Rotheram will share his own experiences with the car, along with useful information he has found to make the most out of the JConcepts experience.

A long time back, we showed you some CAD images of the new Kaos DT-19T truggy from OCM Racing, which at the time was still a concept on a computer screen. Well as you can see in the picture above the truggy is now real and judging by the picture it looks pretty good. No other details have been announced but to have a closer look and judge for yourself click the image.
UPDATE: Rube Dude have some pictures of the truggy in action, which you can view here.
