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.

Zeppin Digital Tweaker Scale Elite

Zeppin introduce their new Digital Tweaker Scale Elite weight measurement system. The patent pending height-adjustable design of the scales ensures an equal height of every platform which makes wheel load measurement as accurate as possible. They system includes four individually powered scales with hardened glass platforms for best possible rigidity against scratches, and rubber feet prevent the scales from moving on the pit table. The main unit sports an easy-to-read black and white LCD screen that helps with visibility even in bright sunshine. The heavy duty yet precise design of the scales allows to measure the individual wheel load of lightweight 1/12th scale to heavy 1/8th trucks alike. Included in the tweak system are four tweaker scales, the main unit and a height measurement tool.

VRC Pro track & buggy updates

As promised in the November instalment of the VRC Pro column, the 2014 IFMAR 1/8 Buggy World Championship track of Naxos in Sicily is now available as are two new buggies and some other updates. Starting with the tracks, it’s a great but demanding venue with lots of challenges, just like the real track proved to be back in September. VRI have made a comparison video between some real laps during the Worlds final, and who better to pick than World Champion Ty Tessman, against one of VRC’s beta testers, Nicolas Loriot from France. As with earlier ‘virtual vs real’ comparison videos the resemblance between virtual and real is astonishing close, once more proof of the incredibly accurate detail of the track and the fantastic realism obtained with our state of the art physics engine.
