Vaterra Twin Hammers rock racer kit

Up until now Vaterra was known for their ready-to-run sets but now the brand steps into the build-your-own-kit market with the introduction of the Twin Hammers rock racer kit. Based off the RTR vehicle, the kit version lets experienced modellers build the vehicle to their specifications, using the electronics and power system of their choice. It also takes the performance of the proven platform to the next level by including the option parts that have been most popular with the RTR version as there are licensed Interco Super Swamper Tyres, a front locker, heavy duty front axle outdrives and more. The kit also comes including clear body panels to provide the ability to create own paint schemes.

PSM B-Max4 III shorty LiPo chassis conversion kit

Yesterday we reported about PSM’s shorty LiPo battery conversion kit for the Yokomo B-Max4 III and today the German company officially announce the set’s release. The conversion builds around a 2.5mm semi-gloss carbon fibre chassis that offers added stiffness and better scratch resistance than PSM’s well-known glossy carbon and it is designed around the use of the so called “shorty” 2S LiPo battery packs. A special feature is the airmount system for the battery pack, basically a “floating battery” mount that does not affect the flex of the chassis for equal cornering characteristics in both left and right bends. The battery mount weights in at only 25g and an included transversal carbon chassis stiffener optimises the flex characteristic of the chassis. The chassis conversion is designed for low to medium-grip tracks and it is available from now on.

The body is moulded from .040 polycarbonate and comes with window masks and a logo decal sheet.

Zen ZFC014 formula 1 chassis kit

Zen have released first images of their forthcoming ZFC014 formula 1 chassis kit. Information on specification and features are pretty vague at the moment but it is understood that the set is a conversion or “80 percent” kit that needs the addition of a Tamiya F104 front end and rear axle/differential. The carbon fibre chassis allows to use shorty LiPo battery packs in longitudinal and transversal position, it offers a single bellcrank steering and the power pod links mount in quite unconventional manner as they span from the most outward end of the chassis to a position way behind the rear axle whereas usually the links mount to the front end of the power pod plate on most cars. We bring you more information on the kit as soon as they become available.
