Yokomo MR-4BX World Spec kit

Yokomo MR-4BX kit & Conversion set

While the MR-4BX Factory kit by Yokomo was only announced in March, there is already a new version available in the form of the World Spec. The car features newly designed front and rear shock towers that aid the cars aerodynamics through improving the airflow to the rear wing while a new mouting position of the rear dampers aids their durability. The car also features a revised layout for the main components, shifting weight backwards, which helps the cars stability in the air and finally they have also increased the number of tuning possibilities in the upper pivot arm mounts to help you further fine tune the cars setup. You can get the World Spec as a stand alone kit or if you own the previous version you can also purchase a conversion set.

David Crompton rejoins Crono

Our partners Neo Buggy have the news that 8 times British National Champion David Crompton has rejoined Italian buggy maker Radiosistemi to race their new Crono RS7GR. David left the Italian manufacturer at the end of last year to take on the challenge of the new Team Magic M1B, but then moved to Hobao from the middle of the season onwards after the M1B failed to deliver. David had this to say about his new deal –

I would really like to thank HoBao and CML for all their support this year, I’m happy to be back at Radiosistemi, and the RS7GR is the best handling car I have ever driven, everything is improved, quality, performance, speed!

Ultimate Racing Tire Balancer

Ultimate Racing have released details about their new tire balancer, which works with the wheels of buggies, rally game cars and truggies. After many tests and exchange of opinions with their team drivers, UR came to the conclusion that unbalanced wheels produce unnecessary vibrations to the shock absorber, affecting both traction and stability of the cars while jumping. To take care of this problem they have developed this system to balance wheel weight which works by helping to find the heaviest part of the wheel, and in turn allowing you to balance it through the use of the UR balancing paste which can be applied to the opposite side of the rim.
