With all Reds Racing X-One exhaust systems there is no need to use and therefore replace springs or gaskets. Available in two versions, the Torque for smoother power output and higher top speed and the High Torque for higher torque and mid range power.

Yokomo Pandem GR Supra clear lexan body

Yokomo have released their officially licensed Pandem GR Supra clear lexan body. This recreation of the GR Supra, which is very popular on the real drifting scene, includes the Pandem aero parts which are the hot item among drift users. While the entire body is moulded as a single piece for user-friendliness, Yokomo’s original moulding technology faithfully moulds the Pandem aero with its difficult shapes such as the front grille, rear underskirt and deep side constrictions. While taking advantage of the attractive lines of the beautifully curved A90 Supra, the sharp line work gives it a realistic finish that you wouldn’t expect from a radio-controlled car body.
