Tamiya TRF420X 1/10th competition chassis

Tamiya have introduced the TRF420X, their latest competition 1/10th touring chassis. The big change for the X is that the spur gear has now been moved in front of the motor, the motor position staying where it was, resulting in a more balanced and stable car. A focus for this latest iteration was chassis flex, the car comes standard with 2.25mm carbon fibre and 2mm aluminium chassis plates, and further fine-tuning of the setup can be achieved with different combinations and numbers of upper deck screws. The suspension and majority of the drivetrain are carried over from its predecessor.

Blaze Racing Battle Sword 2022 conversion

Blaze Racing have released some updated parts for their GT10 Battle Sword kit. After a long period of testing and racing with various prototype parts and different chassis configurations they came up with a significantly redesigned chassis and all new braces, decks, rear pod etc. First off the all new chassis offers much more forgiving and versatile handling due to more flex, reduced width, lower weight and accommodates the longer 65mm side links. They also came up with some design changes that make the car even more resistant to crashes without additional weight. Updated parts are now offered as a complete kit, an upgrade set for the previous Battle Sword and a conversion kit for any 1:10 CRC based 200mm kit as shown above. If you have a CRC 1:12 scale kit they also offer the necessary IRS rear axle and hubs.
