Kyosho TF7 4WD electric touring car

Coming in late September is Kyosho’s all-new TF7 4WD touring car kit. The car is based around a new chassis that features both a floating servo and a floating battery mount which resolves some issues with asymmetrical flexing of the chassis. Mounted exactly on the center-line this allows the carbon fiber chassis plate to be completely symmetrical, which makes the chassis flex much more predictable, and therefore, the handling is more responsive and predictable. The lower chassis plate is milled from 2.25mm carbon fiber, and the upper plate is 2.0mm milled carbon. The carbon shock towers measure at a robust 3.5mm thickness, which provides a solid, durable mount for the updated shocks.

Awesomatix RFG rear floating gearbox set

Coming from the mind of Awesomatix’ Josh Cyrul is the RFG rear floating gearbox set for the A700 touring car. Designed for the use with the MM2 motor mount in flex mode 4 the system further reduces the unwanted torque steer effect caused by the longitudinal motor position as it does the FFG system up front. The set can be run with the C24 top deck and even without, in case more flex is needed.
