PSM B74 DTC aluminium main chassis plate

PSM have announced the release of their new DTC Delta Traction Characteristics aluminium main chassis plate for the Team Associated B74 buggy. Developed to improve the B74’s performance, especially in medium to low grip track conditions, the DTC chassis features delta shaped pockets to provide soft torsional flex characteristics along with consistent performance. The soft flex allows the buggy to generate more mechanical grip, which is very helpful in low grip conditions and/or when running on tight and technical tracks. A special coating process provides a stealth black look along with super smooth surface finish. An additional PTFE coating makes for optimised surface gliding characteristics. The chassis features a unique LCG weight distribution system, which allows the owner to add up to 24 optional weight inlays, a total of 34g, at predefined locations with out modifying the torsional characteristics of the chassis or adding up to its original thickness. Thanks to this the driver can fine-tune the balance the chassis pretty easily. The additional brass weights are available in gold or silver colour, depending on the driver’s colour taste.

Rebellion-RC TC7.2 MM aluminium main chassis plates

Following first teaser images RC-Carbonstore from Austria have announced the soon release of their new Alu-Crossflex and Alu-Solid aluminium main chassis plates for their Team Associated TC7.2 MM Mid Motor conversion kit. The patent-pending Alu-Crossflex chassis was developed for the use in medium to high-bite traction conditions with its highly machined design allowing optimised flex characteristics that can be greatly influenced with the use of up to twelve optional brass inserts that not only add up to 47.9g of weight in the lowest area of the chassis, but they can also be used to change the overall torsional flex characteristics. The idea was to become able to adjust the weight-balance as well as the flex individually with every insert by using different fixing positions without the need of changing the whole chassis; with a standard chassis being always hard front/rear or soft front/rear, but not hard front/soft rear. When the brass inserts are fixed at a 90 degree angle to the driving direction they almost have no influence to the flex, but if attached using the remaining – cross-positioned – mounting points, the inserts decrease the flex. To make the system work the fixing points for the “hard” setting are 0,3mm lowered to make for a free movement at “flex” setting, and when using the “hard” setting drivers need to insert the included 0,3mm shims to be able to access the desired “hard” flex settings. Both the Crossflex and the standard full face Solid chassis, for high to very high bite conditions, are machined from high-quality aluminium, they come black anodised for wear and looks, feature a laser-engraved Rebellion-RC logo and they are of a conical shape, ensuring increased ground clearance and less chassis scrubbing during hard cornering. The chassis and the optional brass weight inserts are available for pre-order now and will ship from the 30th of September. Beside the TC7.2 MM main plate Rebellion-RC will soon release alloy chassis for their other MM Mid Motor conversion kits.

Roche P12 alloy caster block mounts

Roche have announced the release of new alloy caster block mounts in +1mm and -1mm configuration for the P12 1/12th scale pan car kits. Machined from aluminium and coming red anodised for wear and looks, the different settings allow to fine-tune the steering of the car with the +1mm mounts reducing initial steering for smoother cornering while the -1mm parts increase initial steering for quicker and more aggressive cornering. The sets are mounts are available as separate sets and they come marked for easy identification.

Revolution Design B74 aluminium rear hub set

Ruddog Distribution have announced the release of the new RDRP B74 aluminium rear hubs for the Team Associated B74 1/10th scale 4WD buggy. The rear hubs are of an updated design that provides improved durability for heavy duty competition usage while offering grub screw retainers for the standard kit suspension geometry inserts, greatly reducing slop over the conventional design. The hubs use the standard kit rear hub link mounts, making them a direct fit and they come machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium. A black surface coating and machined silver colour edge details make the parts standing out.

Vortex Racing MP1 RX-10SR mid pulley conversion kit

Spanish company Vortex Racing has announced the soon release of their MP1 mid pulley conversion kit for the Destiny RX-10SR 4WD touring car kit. Using the conversion will provide a car that is very easy to drive, that is more consistent, and that carries more speed through the corner, all while offering equal traction front and rear which is helpful especially when running modified motors. The designs focused on the overall flex of the symmetrical chassis and top deck, giving multiple options for different track conditions. The main chassis also accepts both standard and shorty-sized packs only by moving the battery mounts. The conversion utilises a small one-side mono-block motor mount with separate pulley shaft to make it lightweight while allowing to keep the motor close to the centre line. Also, in case a pulley bearing fails and damages the shaft, there is no need to replace the hole motor mount. In addition the servo mount was designed to provide options for weight balancing the car by moving the servo back/forth and left/right. The front and rear chassis stiffeners also allow control the overall chassis flex. The conversion kit is available for pre-order now by emailing Vortex Racing at info@vortex-racing.net.
