Expanding their Atsushi Hara Momentum tool line, Yeah Racing have released this complete setup system for 1/10th touring. The setup system has been redesigned from their previous iterations to give racers even more accurate measurements. They have incorporated bearings to keep everything smooth so the friction of your setup surface will not prevent the setup system from getting an accurate measurement. They have also given it that distinctive black and purple finish and even managed to make it more lightweight.

OfficinaRC alu smart shim

OfficinaRC have presented the reinterpretation of the famous alu smart shim. They have applied a laser marking on the side of the Shim in order to immediately recognise its size, saving time and making everything easier. Now you will no longer have any doubts about which size it is, at a glance you will be able to recognise the fitted size and, above all, you will no longer need a caliper. Measurements are defined by solid lines and segmented lines. The solid ones indicate millimetres and the segmented ones indicate half millimetres. Sold in a package of 8 pieces per size they are available in 3x6x1mm, 3x6x1.5mm, 3x6x2.0mm, 3x6x2.5mm & 3x6x3.0mm.

Yokomo YD-2 ‘Teams’ lightweight Flex chassis set

Team Yokomo’s competition drift brand, Teams, have announced the release of their new light weight flex chassis set for the YD-2 series. The lightweight graphite main chassis plate and special lightweight battery holder provide the right amount of rigidity and traction for a more balanced and controlled feel. While the design is slim and stylish, the weight and rigidity has been carefully balanced with bold cut-outs and milling on the bottom chassis plate. The flex balance not only improves rear traction, but also the load on the front tyre, ensuring better response of the steering. The chassis is also designed to take advantage of the inherent flex of the chassis material, with separate FR/RF suspension mounts to allow for unobstructed flex. The battery holder is also compact and separate, maximising the use of the whole chassis plate and allowing the car to keep constant traction on uneven surfaces and extreme throttle input.
