Following a first teaser Protoform have officially introduced their all-new 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 VTA body shell.

Yeah Racing M07 alloy arm mounts & heat sink

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for Tamiya’s M07 Concept M-chassis kit are new aluminium rear arm mounts and a motor heat sink. Starting with the rear arm mounts, the parts are of a modified design with suspension ball inserts to prevent the assembly from binding when the arms sit at an angle. Included are four arm mounts, pivot balls and an assortment of shims to fine-tune the toe angle. Also new is a motor heat sink in blue anodising. As the motor of the M07 sits wrapped within the chassis the heat sink, that is connected to the motor plate, will greatly improve heat dissipation and thus the performance and lifespan of the motor.
