Today’s technical plastics are of high quality, but when it comes to combining light weight, looks and stiffness at a reasonable price, aluminium is hard to beat. For racers looking for a way to finely adjust their RC8B3.2 or RC8T3.2 flex characteristics or just wanting to add some bling, RDRP now offers a black anodised version of the Associated radio tray mounts.
New from Yeah Racing is this aluminium fan mount for easily mounting your fan on your tourer or drift chassis. Whilst fans are made to a certain thickness for less weight at a high point, it may make mounting difficult. With the aluminium base the surface area is increased making it easier to adhere. It comes in three different colours for you to choose from, black, blue & red.

JConcepts have released a trio of new bodyshells for the Axial SCX24 starting with this 1970’s Chevy K10. The 1970 shell is powerful, and the square body shape is a shout-out to simpler times when a hard day’s work was a bedful of goodness. For the 1970, a lot of the glamour rested in the front grille and headlight package as well as the layered and sculpted rear tail gate and taillight section. These details are found on the included decal sheet along with many emblems and trim packages to complete your body in several popular looks from that generation. A chiseled front-end is gently swept back from the centre. Fenders wells are round with raised edging making them ideal for several different 1/24th scale tires on the market.

Infinity’s official Facebook page have dropped the not so subtle hint of their upcoming entry into the FWD class. Simply mentioning that the new project as ‘Project number: 009’ as you can see in the photo the car is a 1/10th FWD chassis, which makes sense as many of the parts can be carried over from the IF14 project and the class is the getting more popular due to its more scale looks and unique driving challenges. More information as we get it.
