Roche Rapide P12-2016 alloy chassis & pod plate

Roche have introduced an aluminium chassis and lower motor pod plate for the Rapide P12-2016 1/12th scale kit. Both parts are machined from 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium and they come gun metal anodised and with silver chamfered edges for looks. Using the parts lowers the centre of gravity due to adding weight at the lowest possible area of the car while the increased stiffness makes for optimised on-track performance especially in high-bite track conditions.

Vigor BD7 bulkhead spacers & steering wheel pads

Vigor have introduced new fine-tune bulkhead spacers for the Yokomo BD7-2016 car as well as high-grip steering wheel pads. Staring with the spacer set, already introduced in 1.0mm and 1.5mm specification the new 0.5mm and 0.8mm set allows for finer steps of bulkhead and motor mount raising. Using the spacers improves chassis flex and roll, meaning greater traction depending on the track conditions. As for the high-grip steering wheel pads, the rings are made of a special soft plastic that is available in eight colours and that is very easy to clean despite the bright colours.

Serpent Viper 977 Rear End Upgrade set

Serpent Viper 977 rear end upgrade set-1

Coming from Serpent and made for the Viper 977 1/8th on-road kit is the Rear End Upgrade set. Usable on the standard 977 and also the Evo, the included parts move the inner hinge pins closer to the centre line of the chassis which in combination with longer pivotballs makes for effectively longer suspension arms. The upgrade results in more overall traction, a more stable rear end both under acceleration and braking and thus overall higher corner speeds. The set includes new main bearings blocks, rear plate, suspension brackets and shock mounts as well as longer steel pivot balls, a new carbon fibre camber bracket and it is rounded out by longer camber rods, ball joints and pivot balls.
