Samix TRF418 & 419 floating steering system

Coming from Samix and made for Tamiya’s TRF418 and TRF419 touring cars is a floating steering system. The design revolves around a redesigned floating servo mount that also houses the steering bellcrank posts for improved flex of the chassis’ front section. Removing the steering posts from the chassis also erases chassis influences on the steering angle in corners, making for a more consistent steering feeling, an easier to drive car and more on-power steering. Included in the set come servo mount parts, new blue anodised alloy steering posts, servo mounting washers and mounting hardware.

GRP Micro & Cross 1/6th scale off-road tyres

GRP have introduced the new Micro and Cross 1/6th scale off-road tyres. Starting with the Micro tyre, the tread was designed for the use on clean or slightly dusty tracks with medium to high grip. Smaller sized blocks make for good traction and and an easy to drive car. The Cross was designed for sandy and dusty low to medium grip conditions with the tyre’s asymmetric design allowing to adjust the overall grip available. The tread offers additional outer ribs on one side – which is not visible in the above rendering – to increase side bite in loose track conditions. Both 180mm tyres are available in the dirt-specific S-series and sand/astroturf specific P-series compounds including inserts.
