ARC R11F narrow upper deck

ARC have introduced a new narrow upper deck for their R11F front-wheel drive touring car kit. The top deck was designed to allow the battery pack to be mounted 8mm closer to the centre of the car for improved balance and stability. The top deck requires the use of the optional slim battery holders and ARC recommends to utilise their R11 SRS servo to avoid the battery from touching the servo mounting plate.

Torpine R12 2.0mm aluminium flex adjustment plate

Torpine have announced the release of their new chassis flex adjustment plate for the ARC R12 touring car. The plate is machined from high-quality 2.0mm 7075 aluminium and it allows to adjust the rear chassis flex by using different amounts of screws as well as different mounting positions. Initial outdoor tests have shown that using the front motor mount and the third fastening screw increases traction of the rear while offering a very balanced driving performance. If more traction is needed, drovers can also use the rear side fasteners. The plate was developed for the use with M3x4mm or M3x5mm flat head screws and it is available from now on.
