Atomic MRX ‘Master Edition’ 1:28 pan car

1:28 specialist manufacturer RC Atomic is kicking of 2025 with the release of the MRX ‘Master Edition’ chassis kit. Based on the double PNWC 2024 title winning chassis MRX, the Hong Kong manufacturer has further refined the design of the car and made the centre of gravity extremely low. This kit allows users to choose between from the traditional horizontal battery and the straight battery configurations. In horizontal configuration, battery and equipment’s mass are more centralised and car handling will be more aggressive, and it is suitable for small tight tracks. In Straight battery configuration, mass will be slightly moved away from the centre line and the centre damper is at its lowest position. This configuration makes the car more difficult to flip over from traction roll and more stable in high-speed flow tracks.

RC Atomic DRZV2 1/28th scale drift car chassis kit

Coming from RC Atomic is their new DRZV2 1/128th scale mini drift car kit.

Also new is a single bellcrank steering assembly that is both precise and easy to assemble thanks to less parts involved. The chassis is 90mm to 98mm wheelbase adjustable with longer wheelbase settings for 1/24th scale body shells being accessible through option parts. Included in the kit are also new brass KPI front steering knuckles for maximised tyre grip in counter steering situations, new adjustable shock spring preload collars and height adjustable body mounts that support 0.5mm increments. An optional mono front damper system is available optionally for maximised steering throw. Not included in the chassis kit are electronics, tyres, wheels and body shell.

RC Atomic FFZV2 FWD Pro mini-size kit

RC Atomic have introduced their new FFZV2 FWD Pro mini-size chassis kit for 98mm Mini-Z body shells. After the release and success of the first generation FFZ, RC Atomic have refined the design and specification to make the chassis more suitable for high traction conditions such as found on RCP or EVA foam tracks. In addition the car offers very easy driving characteristics, making it more user friendly while performance is only a little bit under a 4WD machine. New to the FFZV2 are redesigned front arms and knuckles for increased stability in longitudinal direction with the rear suspension featuring new arm mounts and the rear UTS upper T-arm system that will increase rear suspension rigidity and side bite. The car is based on a new, wide chassis that is ideal for high-bite tracks while a redesigned ball differential ensures easy building and swift adjustment. The kit is rounded out by new plastic ball cups, new bulkheads and new shock towers and it fits all 98mm wheelbase Kyosho Mini-Z-style body shells.

RC Atomic BZ3 1/28th scale 4WD touring car kit

RC Atomic have announced the soon release of their new BZ3 1/28th scale 4WD touring car kit. The vehicle features new front arms and knuckles for increased straight line stability while allowing for zero to twelve degree of caster. The single crank steering arm incorporates a servo saver and new rear suspension hangers ensure a perfectly aligned geometry. The new rear UTS Upper T-arm System increases rear suspension rigidity, thus improving stability of the rear wheel traction. Other new features include an ultra low centre of gravity chassis design, new ball diffs, ball cups, bulkheads, shock towers and a low centre of gravity motor mount. With the new design the diffs sit about 1.5mm lower with the motor and servo also being lowered compared to the previous model. The rear suspension can be built as camber link system for low to medium grip carpet, as upper T-arm system for RCP or EVA tracks and also as ARS active rear-toe system for expert users. The kit will hit stores very soon.
