Yeah Racing Transformula F1 conversion kit

New from Yeah Racing is the Transformula F1 conversion kit. Designed in collaboration with Worlds finalist and organiser of the Japanese F1RCGP series, Hideo Kitazawa it uses the assumption that the link system is more effective in high speed impacts and offers better control in bumpy conditions than the current t-bar system that is used in the majority of F1 chassis’. This single kit allows you to convert your car between the kits standard T-bar and the linkage system to find the one that best suits the track. The kit features an all new chassis, battery plate, servo mount and motor mount and it has been built using 2.5mm carbon fibre that utilizes a pivot-ball linkage rear suspension which allows for independent adjustment for chassis roll, bump and alignment. The motor mount and T-bar mount are machined from 7075 aluminium to strengthen the model with the best performance. The kit fits with F103 front arms and F103/F104 differential so users can easily convert their existing car to this new model.

JQ Products ‘THE Car’ unveiled

Finally the much hyped and long awaited first release from JQ Products, THE Car, has finally been unveiled. Rather than give us the full low down on the cars features and strengths JQ has decided to explain the ins and outs of THE Car in a 7-part story. “I will explain why it is designed the way it is, why and how I made the decisions that I made, and what I believe I have managed to achieve. Usually new cars are discussed on the internet forums, and no one REALLY knows what the true story is. So I have decide to enlighten you, and elaborate slightly on the normal run of the mill, “no-compromise aircraft grade 7075 chassis for optimum stiffness and cornering stability” and give you some real information.”
