Hot Bodies DCJ Drive Shaft Set #67699

From Hot Bodies:

Maintain better corner speed while drastically reducing wheel chatter with the Hot Bodies DCJ drive shaft. The DCJ or (Double Cardan Joint) shaft breaks the single pivot point into two pivot points resulting in less drag and shallower shaft angles during sharp turning. Your car will be easier to drive and your lap times will show it!

They'll be available soon and are compatible with the entire line of Cyclone touring cars.

Tamiya TA05 Ver. II

Now available in Japan and making its way over to the U.S. in the coming weeks, Tamiya recently released a couple of new pictures of their new TA05 Ver. II.

Suspension mounts:

Thanks to separate left and right suspension blocks, replacing the drive belts will now be an easier task.

Motor mount:

The new, narrower motor mount utilizes a cantilevered shaft which allows the battery to be mounted closer to the centerline of the chassis.

Ai Circuit in Kasai, Japan

While browsing Yodo's Drift Blog last week, I noticed a picture of him standing on what appeared to be a 1/10th scale mountain pass. After doing some searching over the weekend, I learned that it was indeed a 1/10th scale mountain pass at Ai Circuit in Kasai, Hyogo, Japan. The track opened in April of this year and, next to the mountain pass, has a standard drift track as well. Enjoy the pictures, courtesy of RC-ART Blog.
