Japanese company Team Bomber has introduced the high-capacity V2 side tube damper conversion kit for Yokomo’s YRX12 pan car. Designed to replace the somewhat small friction units on Yokomo’s latest 1/12th pan car, the set includes new high-capacity dampers that not only offer an increased load capacity for improved high-speed and corner handling but they also reduce maintenance time as they need less frequent rebuilding. Included with the conversion also come updated carbon fibre braces as well as mounting hardware. Source: Team Bomber [teambomber.jp] http://www.teambomber.jp/…

…SRS-N race body, this wing was used by Dario Balestri at the 2016 1/10 IC World Championship to TQ and set the pace for most of the event. Then, at the 2016 ROAR Fuel National Championships, JJ Wang took the overall TQ and win with the DB16 mounted on his P37-N. On the track it has been shown to add more traction and make 200mm sedans easier drive through high-speed corners. The wing fits all IFMAR/ROAR/EFRA specs and is formed from genuine 0.7mm Lexan. Included with the wing are two 50x35mm Lexan endplates and mounting hardware. Source: Protoform [racepf.com] https://www.prolineracing.com/protoform/db16-200mm-wing-kit/…

The 2016 Austrian Electric Off-road National Championship recently concluded with round five held at the WBC Hoheneich club in the north of the country.
