Fenix 1/10th formula gear differential

Fenix have issued a first image of their forthcoming gear differential for 1/10th formula cars. Coming for 6mm and 1/4″ rear axles the diff is designed to replace the standard ball differential as found on pretty much every formula kit out there. Offering a ball-raced and very narrow design the diff will allow for some fine-tuning using different greases from what is understood. A definite release date is not set yet but according to Fenix the diff, that is on show on the forthcoming Hobby Model Expo in Milan, will become available by the end of the year.

Corally reveals World GT car kit

Team Corally have released first renderings of their forthcoming 1/10th scale World GT pan car kit. The vehicle is of a pretty basic design but the front end allowing for independent roll centre adjustments by raising or lowering the lower A-arms or upper arm mounts while the rear motor pod is obviously of a rail-type design for step-less axle height adjustments. The pretty wide chassis seems to take both standard length and shorty battery packs. More information and images should become available in time for the release.

Avid ARC R10 ’15 aluminium chassis

Avid ARC R10 '15 aluminium chassis

Coming soon from Avid and made for the ARC R10 ’15 touring car is an aluminium main chassis. Cut from 2mm 7075-T6 material and coming black anodised and with silver edge highlights the chassis features unique herringbone cut-outs for a lower weight and optimised flex characteristics. Battery tape on the bottom of the chassis has a cutout slot so it doesn’t interfere with ride height checks or drag on track while the 2mm thickness allows for a lower centre of gravity and the ability to lower roll centres more than stock. The direct replacement 82mm wide chassis is recommended for medium to high-bite conditions.
