Rêve D MC-II conversion set for GRK GSⅡ Evo

Rêve D release this new MC-II conversion set for GRK GSⅡ Evo made by Shibata. Their chief designer Hayato Matsuzaki and his RêveD super development team have put all their efforts into creating it. Their goal was to bring out extra performance from the GSII EVO, which already has a strong grip feeling with weight distribution closer to the rear. They have enhanced the inherent properties of the car to catch the road surface by enabling a more active suspension motion and have succeeded in creating a machine that is easy to transfer weight with improved handling. This conversion follows the regulation of the ‘GRK Strongest Championship’ scheduled to be held in 2022.

Yokomo YZ-2CAL 3.1 2wd offroad buggy

The Yokomo YZ-2CAL 2wd offroad buggy specialised for use on carpet and astro turf surfaces, has been upgraded to the 3.1 version. Even though it is an upgrade, it is no longer an exaggeration to say that it is a new machine with newly designed parts throughout the chassis. The chassis has been lengthened, the wheelbase has been changed on the steering hub carrier, and the rigidity of the front and rear parts has been rebalanced to achieve a total balance that will lead to improved times. The suspension has also been upgraded to the latest configuration with 3mm shock shafts for a more responsive suspension, and is now fully prepared for the 2022 season.

Willspeed RF2 conversion platform for XB2

The new Willspeed RF2 conversion platform for the Xray XB2’20 & ’21 was designed and manufactured by engineers and racers alike for the true ultimate in performance on medium to high traction surfaces. The RF2 design focus’s on moving the weight bias forwards by utilising a 5 gear transmission that allows the motor position to be moved further forwards creating a smaller located area of main mass which aids to control weight transfer. The billet aluminium tub chassis is the ultimate in chassis design, the centre of gravity is super low, the chassis has no additional guards or stiffeners removing unwanted tweak and is self integrally stiff. The aluminium was selected for its natural dampening properties that not only allows for an incredibly agile platform but its also super predictable. The end result, a platform that not only loves corner speed but it is also dependable and predictable lap after lap making going fast, easy.

Tekno RC NT48 2.0 Nitro truggy

Tekno RC have released the long awaited NT48 2.0, the fastest and most durable nitro truggy that they have ever produced. The bar was set high with the legendary NT48.3 and its countless victories and podiums across the world. The new NT48 truggy incorporates all of the 2.0 platform’s best features such as quick access diffs, incredibly free suspension, twisted caster front arms, and a decoupled radio tray. After all of the performance features were worked out, they spent some time adding strength in all of the right places. The suspension arms are ridiculously beefy, the driveshafts are thicker, and they decided on a stout 4mm chassis. The chassis components are kept as far forward as possible to aid in steering response and corner rotation. Unless you’ve been under a rock for the last year, you’ve probably noticed that the entire RC racing industry has adopted their fresh approach to truggy body aesthetics.

Axial Capra 1.9 4WS Currie Unlimited trail buggy RTR

The Axial Capra 1.9 Unlimited Trail Buggy is now available in a new version that gives crawling enthusiasts an even more realistic and effective way to manoeuvre. Out of the box, the ready-to-run Capra 1.9 4WS Unlimited Trail Buggy features front and rear steer to make it super capable on the rocks. Axial engineers have installed steer axles at both ends for the enhanced manoeuvrability of 4-wheel steering. Using the third channel button of the included Spektrum DX3 transmitter, you can steer the rear axle from 0 (straight) to 50% or 100%, left and right, to position the tires perfectly for conquering obstacles. The transmission also includes an optional Dig setup that’s disabled from the factory (and requires upgrading to a 4-channel radio and micro servo for use). To have Dig and rear steering capabilities, remove the spacer from inside the transmission and install your micro servo. With the flick of a transmitter button, you can now activate Dig and lock the rear drive axle. That allows you to pull the buggy around by the front end while holding the rear in place. The new Capra 1.9 4WS is available in two new colour schemes, the Currie and the Nitto.
