30423 Kyosho – 1/12 PLAZMA Ra 2.0

1/12 Scale Electric Radio Controlled 2WD Racing Car PLAZMA Ra Series: PLAZMA
Ra 2.0

Packed with racing tech developed at the highest level!Drive the world’s
most advanced production racing machine!

A new racing scene has evolved in the four years since the launch of the PLASMA
Ra in December 2011. Now is the time for a new machine that embodies the sum
of all knowledge from constant racing competition. With the flexibility to adapt
to different conditions, such as free movement of the center shock position
to adjust from high-grip surfaces to slippery circuits, and the choice of crank
or direct steering systems, this new machine incorporates the most advanced
design features. The material and design of each carbon and red anodized aluminum
component has been carefully formulated to achieve optimal strength and weight
balance. The 2-stage finishing process of the red anodized aluminum parts creates
a sense of pride in owning a machine with such an immaculate high-quality finish.

• Adaptable to all surface types, full performance potential can be achieved
  on various race circuits.
• Red anodized aluminum parts with 2-stage finishing process gleam with high-quality
  engineering.
• New king-pin strut system on front suspension. Slim and simple structure
  allows screw to be removed from outside for easier maintenance. Alignment
  of camber, caster and tread can be adjusted.
• Rear suspension system with center pivot and rear side link retained for
  its superior control of roll and pitching characteristics.
• Rear center shock with diaphragm maintains constant oil volume and combines
  with friction tube that perfectly controls roll direction to produce superior
  running stability. Features precision machine cut POM (white plastic) shock
  piston and titanium coated spindle.
• Features international standard size rear axle. Thrust bearing included
  produces smooth diff function and metric size (4mm) diff nut delivers improved
  versatility.
• Height can be set simply by replacing the axle mount.
• Grooves in the chassis prevent fiberglass tape used to secure the battery
  from touching the road surface. O-ring battery holder also makes battery changes
  easy during practice runs.
• Center position of the motor delivers optimal left/right weight balance
  of the rear section. Design allows motor to be moved 2.5mm towards the center
  so the heavy weight of motor and ball diff unit can be used to optimize weight
  balance.
• Crank steering system delivers excellent left/right balance. Optional steering
  plate allows free Ackerman setting. Crank unit is supported by ball bearings
  on top and bottom and can be positioned in 3 different front-rear settings.
• 1/12 electric racing car incorporates the world’s most advanced design
  technology.
• Interchangeable front suspension (except knuckle) realizes maintenance efficiency.
• Compatible with reliable JR and Futaba mini servos for 1/12 class. *Sanwa
  can be used with optional part.
• Proven performance of coil springs installed on both front and rear sides.
  A variety of springs are available.
• Includes largest international standard size wheels (largest in its class).
• Uses metric (mm) size screws and nuts. *Only screws for rear wheel and clamp
  hub (L) are inch size.
• Ball diff has plenty of capacity with large diameter diff ring. Standard
  spur gear for DD cars can be used.

Kit Contents:

• Unassembled chassis kit
• Decals
• Instruction manual

Required for Operation :

• 2ch, 1 mini servo R/C system for cars
• Brushless motor (540 class)
• ESC (80A minimum recommended) for brushless motor
• 1 cell (3.7V) Li-Po battery for 1/12 or 2 cell (7.4V) Li-Po battery for
  charger for chassis
• Pinion gear (64 pitch 13-38T)
• Tires
• 1/12 Racing car body

Other Features:

• Big roll shock features a revised roll piston and realizes larger tread
  area and increased effectiveness of grease through machine cut lateral grooves.
• High durability 7075-grade motor mount changed from two lower fixing points
  to upper & lower fixing points as well as being thinned for lighter weight.
  Also, gap created between the screws of the motor mount and lower pad reduces
  strain under contact from hits.
• Adjustment of spring tension can be made without removing parts through
  a hole in the lower pad that allows a 2.0mm hex wrench access to a 2mm hexagonal
  groove in the side spring holder.
• Stabilizer control is delivered through a carbon plate connecting the left
  & right suspension blocks.
• Urethane bumper included as standard. Body mount position moved 10mm towards
  the front to prevent body overhang.
• Roll point between main chassis and lower pad moved 2mm rearward to deliver
  sharper turning performance.
• Aluminum antenna holder secures antenna and center shock stay firmly. 6
  center shock positions can be selected when used in combination with optional
  parts.
• Five ride height adjusters included: 0mm; 1.5mm; 2.5mm; 2.75mm, and 3.0mm.
  Most frequently used settings from 2.5mm to 3.0mm can be adjusted at 0.25mm
  increments. Nylon material delivers superior impact resistance.
• Large diameter wheels for the Ra 2.0 are the largest in its class. Made
  from soft nylon.
• Excess has been symmetrically removed from the chassis resulting in 20g
  lighter weight for pure racing performance.
• Front upper arm redesigned to a universal interchangeable shape for use
  on both front & rear, left & right sides, and with less play. Lower
  suspension arm redesigned for lighter weight and effective flex.
• Full ball bearing specifications (total 11). Crank also features two ball
  bearings.
• 92T spur gear included. Proven thrust bearing using 16 balls also included
  as standard.
• Motor mount fixing changed to upper & lower securement with 0.25mm lower
  mount than the previous model. Made from high strength 7075-grade aluminum.
• Chassis height can be adjusted with carbon spacer. Loosen the screw on bulkhead
  and push from behind to move forward for fast and easy chassis height adjustment.
  Carbon spacers of various thicknesses are available as options.
