Azarashi Redseal aluminium chassis plate

Azarashi introduce a prototype aluminium chassis plate for their Kyosho ZX-5 Redseal conversion kit. Made from 6061 aluminium and coming black anodised the limited edition part is designed to replace the stock carbon fibre main chassis plate with a stiffer part that offers less torsional flex, making it ideal for all high-grip surfaces. The machined chassis features several milled-out pockets for the battery and electronics in order to lower the weight and centre of gravity and it is available through Azarashi’s webshop for a limited time.

Kyosho Scorpion re-release 2WD buggy – Details

Kyosho America have released first details of the forthcoming Scorpion re-release vintage 2WD buggy. The long awaited release of the Scorpion, which was the cornerstone of the Kyosho off-road program during the late 70s and early 80s, is designed by the same designer as the original Scorpion. This new version is very faithful to many of the details that make it virtually identical to the original car, but there are some changes to increase the durability and performance. The shocks are higher quality with much smoother operation, and the spring pre-load collars will not snap like the old ones and the transmission is upgraded with 48-pitch gears and nearly an all-metal construction except for the compound counter gear. A sealed gear differential is driven via a modern slipper clutch to smooth out power delivery. It is understood that the kit will become available by June.

BlackArt Toyota TS030 & Lola B10 12th scale bodies

U.S. BlackArt distributors CRC introduce the new Toyota TS030 and Lola B10 1/12th scale bodyshells. Starting with the Toyota, the pink and green body in above image, the shell is designed to deliver increase downforce for high speed tracks while the centre spline makes for added stability. The body already proved its performance by winning at the recent European Championships in Italy. Also new is the Lola B10, the red and black body, that offers a bit less downforce making it perfectly suited for slower tracks, tight and twitchy circuits or Stock class racing. Both bodies are made from genuine GE 0.5mm Lexan and come clear.
