Greyscale Racing MRCG 1/28 chassis

Greyscale Racing have announced the upcoming release of the MRCG, their new 1/28 pan chassis conversion kit. Based on Kyosho’s venerable Mini-Z MR-02, the MRCG adds 1.5mm quasi-isotropic graphite throughout, a new rear suspension design, an extremely low CG and polar moment of inertia, as well as a 15% weight reduction over the MR-02 to bring 1/12 performance to a class less than half the size! The chassis also features several other small innovations, such as a quick-release battery system and true Mini-Z body compatability to preserve the aesthetic appeal of the Mini-Z series. The MRCG is compatible with both Mini-Z electronics or modular electronics, and requires 4 AAA batteries and a 130-can motor.

Werks Racing 3 chamber buggy pipe

Werks Racing have announced the release of it’s new 3 chamber buggy pipe system. Completely legal under the new EFRA rules and carrying the EFRA 3014 homologation number, it has been designed from the ground up to provide a strong, linear power band with the best possible fuel millage. The new 3014 pipe is made to resist dents and dings and was manufactured with material over 50% thicker than what was found in their 2013 pipe. They have also incorporated a machined brace on the stinger to minimize the likelihood of damage in what is easily the most vulnerable part of the pipe. Complete aluminium construction for the lightest possible weight and finished with a mirror polish to add a little bit of “bling” to your ride.

K-Factory E4 Alu 5-cell Battery Mount

K-Factory E4 Alu 5-cell Battery Mount

New from K-Factory is this E4 aluminium battery mount for 5 cell packs, specially designed to be used in the Team Magic E4FS and E4RS electric touring cars. Similar to the mount released previously for 6 cells, it too claims to make your car much more reliable and stronger, due to the increased hardness of the lightweight aluminium which when mounted acts as a structural part of the chassis. Hard coated for excellent surface protection, the battery mount features a milled battery tape slot that goes along the length of the mount to hold your cells in place.
