MD Racing MDT15 TC kit – More prototype images

Spanish company MD Racing today released new images of their MDT15 1/10th electric touring car prototype. They show what we understand is a working prototype that will make a first appearance at this weekend’s final round of the 2013/14 Euro Touring Series at the Hudy Racing Arena in Trencin, Slovakia. The car is a mixture of new and proven design ideas and based on a carbon fibre chassis plate with a vertical upper deck construction, carbon fibre A-arms and new design bulkheads which allow to access the front and rear spool/diff without the need to take off the shock towers or shocks. We bring you more information about the kit as soon as we get them.

For everyone who wishes to run standard length shocks and shock springs on the VBC Wildfire D06, Raceberry now comes to the rescue. The shock towers made from 3mm high-quality carbon fibre material allow to use regular length shocks over the kit’s low-profile dampers without changing the suspension geometry which can be a benefit in various track conditions.

Teamsaxo GT-802 1/8th on-road tyre

Made for 1/8th scale GT cars or 1/8th buggies run on asphalt are the new GT-802 tyres from Teamsaxo. They are moulded from a special compound that has fibres mixed into it to reduce tyre expansion at high speeds or when the tyre temperature raises. A special V-shape tread improves traction on permanent and parking lot tracks and the tyre comes pre-mounted on durable white or black multi-spoke nylon rims.

Team C TM4 aluminium steering link plate

New from Team C Racing and made for the TM4 4WD buggy is this aluminium Ackermann steering link plate. Designed to replace the kit’s plastic link with a more rigid and durable part, the plate not only keeps the ballstuds held in place more securely but it also improves steering reaction by eliminating the flex of the stock part. The link is machined from high-quality aluminium and comes orange anodised to match the remainder of the buggy’s alloy parts.

No new 1/8th buggy but upgrades from SWorkz

Following the Facebook announcement of Kyosho’s Yuichi Kanai to stick with their tried and tested 1/8th buggy platform (for the 2014 IFMAR Worlds in Italy) now also SWorkz announce that there will be no new buggy for 2014 despite the good tradition of many manufacturers to introduce new platforms ahead of important races. However the Asian company will have several new option parts such as the “LDS” Lightened Drive System with new driveshafts, bearings, gears and more, along other new upgrades to make the buggy “Worlds ready”. More information will become available in the near future.
