First seen last February when it was originally shown as the S500 from Serpent, the project has since been taken back under the Team Durango name and following some more tweaks to get it ready for the production the new buggy looks finally ready for release. These first closeup shots show a lot of similarities to the S500 buggy, but we believe that the car has received a pretty major makeover, confirmation of which will only come when we finally see the finished product.

Italian company Mon-Tech Racing have sent us some details about their new 1/10th scale mini scale chassis called the FiVE. Looking very similar in style to a small car made by a certain Italian automotive company, this body has been made from 0.75mm thick high quality polycarbonate. The body is supplied with protective over spray film for painting, window masking and pre-cut FiVE decals.
Team Associated have finally revealed what their new SC10 will look like. Judging by the photo above, as well as looking at car in their 360 degree viewer (embedded below), it appears to be electric powered and as it stands looks very cool and true to scale. Expect the Team to reveal more details and confirm the full spec and feature list in the near future.

When we wrote our story about the two new entrants into the 1/10th scale 200mm market, if we had of waited another week we could have added a third, with the news today that Italian company Capricorn RC will begin producing a chassis for this class. We were sent the first Exclusive CAD images of their new car, but only with some brief information about it, however you can see a lot from the pictures. The car naturally will be supplied with a lot of Capricorn optionals as standard, such as their 2008 World champion clutch, super light brake disk, one piece engine mount, lightened main and middle shaft, ultra light pivot balls, ultra light rear dogbones and front CVDs, lightened front and rear hex wheel adaptors as well as 3.6mm thick front and rear shock towers. The car features some other new features such as lightweight spur gears, a wire front anti-roll bar instead of the usual wishbone lever system, new front belt tensioner system, a hexagonal rear belt tensioner and new innovative plastic materials used for the arms and hubs. We don’t have a date for its release, only that its coming soon.
