Boost RC ‘Hexaflow’ Touring Car Front Bumper

Italian brand Boost RC has introduced a new line of  Boost RC has introduced the new line of innovative ‘Hexaflow’ Front Bumpers.  Available for leading 1:10 Electric Touring Car models, it combines impact protection with aerodynamic performance, transforming a traditionally passive component into an active tuning element for your car.  Unlike conventional bumpers designed solely to absorb impacts, the Hexaflow has been engineered to influence the car’s behaviour at speed.  Developed entirely in-house, the project began as a CAD concept before undergoing multiple stages of prototyping and extensive on-track testing to refine both its mechanical properties and aerodynamic efficiency.  The bumper features a distinctive angled honeycomb structure with through-flow cells that channel airflow across the front section of the chassis. As vehicle speed increases, the airflow management is designed to generate an aerodynamic effect that complements the car’s mechanical setup, offering additional front-end support in faster corners. This opens up new setup possibilities for racers. For example, drivers can optimise the car for greater mechanical grip in slower sections using reduced camber while benefiting from the additional aerodynamic assistance provided by the Hexaflow in high-speed corners.  Rather than replacing traditional setup adjustments, the bumper introduces another tuning parameter that can help maximise overall performance.  Manufactured using high-performance engineering polymer through advanced 3D printing technology, the Hexaflow stands out visually with its honeycomb architecture creates a distinctive motorsport-inspired appearance, complemented by a carbon fibre textured finish on the sides and underside.

Hirosaka KSC Classic 24 1:24 Training Car

Following on from the very well received announcement of its electronic collaboration with ORCA, Hirosaka Racing Products has sent us details of the Hirosaka KSC Classic 24 – The Reborn 1:24 Training Car.  Over nearly ten months, working closely with Masaaki Hirosaka, they have recreated the 1:24 RC car he originally used to train Masami Hirosaka – the very car that, through countless trials and refinements, set his son on the road to world championship glory.  As they mark this milestone 50th anniversary with the recreation of this pioneering spirit, in describing the Hirosaka KSC Classic 24 they state, ‘legends do not always begin on the world’s grandest stages; sometimes, they unfold in a quiet parking lot alongside a single, handmade machine.’  The origins of this machine lie in the very birth of 1:24 RC racing.  It was a class pioneered by Masaaki himself, born from the ingenious idea of ​​designing cars by skilfully repurposing bodies from plastic models and slot cars.  That small spark eventually gave rise to the legendary ABC Hobby “Royal Chassis” and ignited a nationwide craze.  For over two decades, the 1:24 car served as Masami’s most faithful practice vehicle, laying the foundation for the driving prowess that would conquer the world.  Limited to 100 kits, this product will be supported on an ongoing basis with spare parts, replacements, and upgrade option parts, so enthusiasts can enjoy it for years to come.
