Coming soon from WRC Racing is the GT Due 1.4 1/8th scale nitro on-road classic kit. The car is an evolution step of the GT Due ’13, it is based on a 7075 aluminium chassis and features rigid suspension parts that do away with the need to use shock absorbers while still allowing to adjust parameters such as front toe, camber and castor angles as well as rear toe and camber settings. The 2WD drivetrain uses a rear beltdrive system and a large disc brake mounted to the rear differential case. Other features include a single speed gearbox, a new fuel tank, a new carbon fibre radio plate and new servo mount.

Coming from WRC and made for the NTX 1/10th 200mm nitro touring car is a rear stiffener set. Made up using two ball cups and an adjustable turnbuckle, the stiffener connects the radio plate and 2-speed bulkhead for improved pitch stiffness without affecting torsional flex. The result is a more reinforced chassis which is beneficial especially on high-bite tracks.

Coming from WRC Racing is their new LM16 1.2 1/10th 200mm pan car kit. The car was developed for the use with 200mm LMP body shells and formula class rubber tyres and it features a redesigned battery compartment that allows to use both inline and transversal battery positions while the rear suspension assembly was improved to give increased suspension travel which will lead to greater side bite and thus faster lap times. Last but not least come reinforced front lower arms that are now more crash-resistant.
