Xenon Racing, who we mentioned yesterday when they showed their latest camber gauge, have also announced their new Tamiya DF-03 carbon double deck conversion. The main chassis has been made from 3mm carbon fibre while the upper deck is made from 2.4mm carbon fibre, which is connected to the front of the gearbox with a tough aluminum block substantial improving the chassis rigidity.

Atomic RC, the small scale optional specialists, have announced the release of these CVD sets for the Xray M18 Pro. Available in a complete set, these blue anodised universal drive shafts are also available to buy seperately in pairs and replace the standard versions that come with the car. We have shown you the Xray versions before and cant see the difference between the 2 except that the Atomic RC version may have more bling factor and are perhaps cheaper.

Corally have announced the release of a new front end conversion that emulates that used by David Spashett to win last summers World Championship for the Dutch manufacturer. Of course everyone knows that David, and a lot of other Corally racers, were running the CRC front end on their cars, so now Corally have recreated this for themselves and will now be sold as the 12X WC Front suspension conversion kit.
Since David Spashett has become 1:12 IFMAR World Champion 2006 with Corally SP12X US Spec, with a special front end of which brand we all know about, and the demand from end-consumers never seemed to cease, we have finally decided to offer them in our repertoire. All the parts needed to complete the special front end to enable you to simulate the feeling of the true world champion machine are now available.

Serpent have released 2 seperate shock spring supports for their RCC, and older, shock absorbers. The first versions (above) are made from aluminium and have been lightened through the use of holes and are a direct replacement of the original versions only stronger. The second version, which you can see below, are made from the original composite material, but are 2mm thicker, which means the spring sits 2mm higher on the shock body, allowing for a wider range of spring tension adjustment.

Serpent have released this new optional chassis plate for the 720 which has been heavily milled on the topside to enable the whole car to sit lower allowing for a lower centre of gravity while, through the addition of extra holes, the chassis plate is now extremely light. This chassis will be perfect for those racers looking for that extra cornering advantage in higher grip conditions and to allow your chassis to be made stiffer, the front of the chassis has space to mount the optional carbon stiffener plate, which will be sold separately.
