Update on the Yokomo Sonic Racer
Here's an article we scanned from a Japanese RC Magazine; this looks like one killer package - the tiny cells and sensible component placement suggest that this will be a great platform:

Can't wait to get more details on this one!!! 1/24-1/27 scale rc is expanding at an amazing pace. The nice thing about this scale is that you can race them in places not possible with 1/10 or 1/12 scale. This makes year round racing possible for many who never had the chance before. This is the most excited I have been about this hobby in over 20 years!!!

Yokomo
Those wheels look very similar to the CLK wheels, don't they?
I reckon the design makes sense.
I'd probably get one of those before I get an ABC DTM

I wonder how sturdy the chassis is? And the way that the servo sits doesnt look very promising if its only those clicps that hold it in. But hey u never know until u test it out

Mondo, I think that they are CLK wheels, or are exact clones - the Sonic Racer is designed to be extremely Z-compatible, including bodies, wheels, diffs, etc.
