Kyosho has unveiled the upcoming release of a new kit version of its V-ONE R4 1:10 Competition Nitro Touring Car, the Pure Ten GP 4WD V-ONE R4 Evo.3.   The latest evolution of the R4, which was first released in 2011, the Evo.3 now comes with a chassis conversion kit released in 2023 as standard along with a revised shape front bulkhead and new stabilizer bar set-up in response to the latest racing developmenrs.  In the new main chassis, the engine mounting method has been revised to a fixed-centre type, optimising chassis flexibility and eliminating the quirks in left and right steering characteristics during cornering.  At the same time, the receiver and servo battery mounting tray has been updated, which also improves the roll characteristics of the chassis.  Battery replacement is also easier.  What’s more interesting is that the V-ONE R4 Evo.3 kit will be sold in a package that can accommodate both foam and rubber tyres.  The clutch is a type that fits the OS-12TG engine, which is often used in Japan, and comes with clutch springs suitable for Kyosho Cup designated rubber tyres and open race foam tyres.  Front side pulleys and damper springs for both rubber and foam tires are included.
