Yokomo has announced the release of the YRS Roadster, a 1/12th scale car that is modeled after one of the coolest cars to ever hit the road; the Lotus Super Seven.

The YRS is a RWD platform that uses a unique monocoque chassis to encapsulate all of the running gear. The battery sits inline down the center of the chassis as does the ESC and direct-link steering servo. It comes as an ARTR (Almost-Ready-To-Run), requiring only a radio system, servo, ESC, LiPo battery and charger. Body color choices will be red, yellow or green.
