Yokomo have announced the upcoming release of their new YRX12 1/12th scale pan car kit. The car features an all-new front suspension design based on the double wishbone suspension of the previous car but with a focus on high-speed cornering as well as ease of setup and maintenance. The front end now sports a pushrod design for optimised cornering stability with adjustable roll centre and track width settings remaining for suspension fine-tuning purposes. The previously used anti-roll bar was dropped for a simpler design and to reduce overall weight. Also new is a sliding upper bulkhead arrangement for easy caster angle adjustments with the bulkheads and pivot balls can be spaced down in order to create reactive caster settings.
Roche have introduced the 2016 edition of their P12 1/12th scale pan car kit. Based off of the previous P12 the 2016 car comes with a range of updates such as a 2.5mm carbon fibre chassis and a new floating servo mount with fully adjustable servo position. Also new are the upper and lower motor pod plates for optimised chassis balance and the kit also comes with a new 7075 aluminium rear chassis brace mount, selectable battery plate positions, and a new O-ring battery mount. Other features include redesigned aluminium front lower arm tubes for countersunk screws, new and adjustable centre shock positions as well as a new centre damper shock cap, a new front bumper and reinforced 4.3mm aluminium ballstuds.
Coming from CSO are 4.5mm offset aluminium wheel adapters for 1/8th GT and off-road cars. The specific width of the adapters can greatly improve the cornering ability of GT cars, making for less understeering and thus faster corner speeds. The parts are machined from high-quality aluminium, they come laser-etched and in black, orange or blue colour.
