Yokomo touring car body post markers

Yokomo have introduced their new body hole markers for 6mm touring car body posts. The markers help to easily and conveniently locate the body post positions on both clear and painted bodies. Aluminium tubes are placed on all four body posts and the body is placed onto them with four magnets marking the individual front and rear body post positions that then can be marked using a fine line permanent marker prior to drilling.

The car uses the GZ2 suspension components, however it utilises a simplified drivetrain that does away with he infamous double main gear setup in favour of a more traditional setup. Reflex Racing has been approached by many people wanting to be a part of the development of this platform and this is where the new program kicks in. Buyers of the Beta kit will be a part of the development program for the production platform that we will shoot to release in September/ October. Reflex Racing are offering three different levels of the Beta cars in both alloy and carbon versions: a conversion kit, a Beta Kit and a Beta Team Plus kit. The Beta conversion allows racers to turn a GZ2 into a 2019 Beta. The Beta Kit is a 2019 roller kit and the Beta Team Plus kit includes the kit, plus whatever revised items the production kits include and a discount on parts and accessories for the 2019 and 2020 racing season.
