Rebellion-RC X1 V2 multi-wheelbase chassis

Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is a new V2 carbon fibre multi-wheelbase chassis for the Xray X1 series of formula cars. The chassis allows for four different wheelbase settings with standard 0mm, and additional +3.3mm, +6.6mm, and +9.9mm options available. In the 0mm original wheelbase setting the front wing sits an additional 5mm towards the front, meaning the +9mm setup has the wing 4.9mm closer to the front wheels. This allows for a much wider setup window in terms of weight distribution with the +9.9mm setup offering the same corner speed as the original wheelbase with improved overall stability as the team found out during the recent round of the Mibosport Cup. Included in the set are also the sidelink mounts, the upper deck brace as well as the body mount. The chassis is usable for the 2015 to 2019 variants of the X1 and it is available in more than ten different colour weaves. The V2 variant, a running change to the original design offers a wider front end section around the rear A-arm mounting area for even greater durability.

Kyosho introduce new TF7.7 optionals

Coming from Kyosho and made for the TF7.7 touring car are new option parts in the form of a thinner top deck as well as shock pistons and volume compensators. Starting with the top deck, the part is machined from 1.6mm high-quality carbon fibre and it is best used in combination with the TFW177R/BK V2 chassis as it optimises the overall flex when running on high-grip tracks, ensuring increased stability and traction. Next up are the 2×1.1mm and 2×1.2mm shock piston sets. They were developed for the use with the W5307 shock set and come as pairs. Using the pistons allows for a wider range of shock setups. Last but not least come soft shock diaphragms for the TF7.7 that are understood to offer less natural rebound.
