RSD TC6.2 aluminium chassis & floating servo mount

Reflex Racing introduce the RSD aluminium chassis for the Team Associated TC6.2 touring car as well as an updated floating servo mount. Starting with the chassis that is available for pre-order now, the aluminium item will not only lower the centre of gravity of the car but also helps to dissipate heat generated by the electronics. It comes in handy when running in medium to high-bite conditions as the flex characteristics of aluminium allow to push the car to its limits harder without having to worry about an unstable or unpredictable vehicle. Once released in mid-May there will also be optional battery holders and an optional motor mount available.

Shepherd now have the C13 bodyshell for 1/8th on-road cars available.

Compared to its predecessor, the GT-C5, the rear end is longer and the central part around the engine is lowered, resulting in more rear traction. Also the front end saw a minor update creating more steering into the corner. The body is made from 0.75mm thick high-quality polycarbonate and it is available from now on.

MD Racing electric touring car – Teaser

Spanish company MD Racing have released first teaser images of their forthcoming electric touring car kit. The car is a mix of new and already proven ideas with the A-arms being of a pivot ball design over the more common C-hub/rear hub construction with suspension pins, while the upper deck is mounted vertically within the chassis. The steering is of an adjustable tail-type design and the bulkheads allow to remove the front and rear axle/differential without disturbing the shocks or shock tower settings as the shock tower brackets are part of the bulkheads and not the bulkhead covers. It is understood that the first prototypes are ready to hit the track in around 3 weeks. We bring you more information on the car as soon as they become available.

Tekno introduce the new aluminium differential cross pins for the use in the company’s 1/8th scale vehicles as well as the SCT410.

The pins are machined from 7075 aluminium and hard-anodised for best wear characteristics. The pins are sold in packs of six allowing for replacement of all three differentials at the same time.
