Team Associated RC10TC8 Electric Touring Car

Having almost broke the internet when they turned up to the IFMAR ISTC World Championships last November, confirming their return to the competition electric touring car market by competing with a prototype TC8, Team Associated has finally launched the production kits of the RC10TC8. Offering a Graphite-Spec or Steel-Spec Team Kit, built new from the ground up the TC8’s entirely new geometry represents a paradigm shift in on-road performance. Long arm pivot ball suspension, meticulously balanced weight distribution, and an ultra-low centre of gravity combined to create a touring car that’s both planted and incredibly responsive. This is the core of the TC8’s vision for the future of touring cars, offering unprecedented tuning capabilities. From the high-capacity differential to the ultra-short shocks, every component works in harmony. The one-piece servo mount and bell crank assembly deliver laser-like steering precision, while adjustable KPI ensures an unparalleled connection to the track, regardless of conditions.

Awesomatix A800RR Touring Car

Reigning Pro-Stock Touring Car World Champion manufacturer Awesomatix has released its latest kit, the A800RR. The newest creation car from Awesomatix founder Leg Babich builds on the success of the A800R platform and focuses on refining the revolution brought by the A800R. Retaining the key features of the A800R – shortened chassis plate for minimal overhang and chassis rub and improved damping characteristics over the MMX platform – the A800RR incorporates several key quality-of-life upgrades. These include the newly designed D4 dampers, which allow for seamless external switching between linear, semi-progressive and progressive damping modes without requiring a full damper rebuild. Additionally, a new spool assembly reduces rotating mass and enables the use of identical pulleys for both the differential and spool, streamlining maintenance and performance.

Racing Performer DX2 Type-R Brushless Motor

New from Yokomo’s Racing Performer electrics line comes a new second generation of its popular DX series brushless drifting motors. The colourful anodised DX2 series is a high-revving Type-R specification available in four colours (blue, purple, red and black) and three different gear ratios from 11.5T to 15.5T. The 11.5T DX2 prototype was used by Team Yokomo’s KAI to win the world-class WTDC drifting event in Malaysia last year, and its performance is already well documented. The slightly softer 13.5T is easy to use on P-tile surfaces and the more torquey 15.5T has a different rotor size to complete the power feel.
