WRC have introduced the F-One 2016 1/10th scale formula car kit. The car builds on the previous F-One but features several refinements such as a redesigned chassis for increased performance and a new front suspension with uniball system. Other parts include a new easy caster adjustment system, a new roll damper as well as a new, lighter differential assembly. The kit is rounded out by a bodyshell and a set of P-One racing tyres.
Coming from Serpent and made for the Eryx 4.0 touring car are optional split suspension brackets for the rear suspension. CNC-machined from high-quality aluminium and coming gun metal anodised and laser-etched for easy identification the 0.5 and 1.5 RF brackets allow for easier use of the optional Reactive Rear Steering system.
Tonisport have introduced the MR33/LMR Upgrade upper deck for the Yokomo YZ-4 4WD buggy. Developed in cooperation with Yokomo top drivers the top deck is cut from 2.25mm carbon fibre and it not only offers improved looks but it also allows for more overall chassis flex thanks to machined cut-outs that make the top deck a little softer than the standard solid one.

The sweater is available in adult S to 4XL sizes.
Capricorn have new option parts for the TE03 V3 touring car and the F1-01 formula car available. Starting with the TE03 part, coming very soon is an optional carbon fibre upper deck that allows for more chassis flex while also offering slightly different flex characteristics.

The links are made up using standard ball cups, pivot balls and L/R thread turnbuckles.
Italian company Fenix Racing have introduced their new DFV stock brushless motor. The EFRA-approved spec racing motor is available as 13.5T touring car and 21.5T formula variant and it utilises a machined 7075-T6 aluminium can with large airflow vents as well as a 12.5mm sintered Neodymium rotor for controllable torque over the whole RPM range. Pre-shaped heavy duty solder tabs and an adjustable timing endbell round out the package.
GForce have introduced a hand warmer bag to keep your hands and fingers warm during driving in cold weather. The bag consists of a compartment for the transmitter as well as two sleeves all of which are made of thick neoprene material to keep chilling winds away from your hands. A clear plastic window allows to monitor the transmitter screen while two pockets in the sleeves take optional hand warmers to make for even more comfort. The splash-waterproof bag is good for both right and left hand users and it will become available by beginning of February.
