CRC Gen-X and Losi 8ight parts

Calandra Racing Concepts in the US have released a number of new parts for their own line of carpet racers as well as something for off road buggies. First up the release of a carbon fiber cross brace for the Gen-X (above) which mounts to the CRC lower arms, keeping the front end strong, straight and true even with the heaviest impacts. The brace also acts as a mount for CRC’s new “Long-Arm” option, coming soon for the Pro Strut front end. Also new are a number of super strong and light titanium parts such as upper pivot balls for the Pro Strut front end, front end screws and tie rods, also for the Pro Strut front end. Finally, for the Losi 8ight and 8ight T, CRC have made some “No-Pop” steering balls that capture the link, keeping the tie rod attached to the ball even in the event of a hard impact.

Contact 300 Classic 2wd chassis

Following from the earlier report about the new DXF Competition 2wd Classic chassis, comes information about another chassis in this class. This car despite being shown in CAD images has actually been produced, the Contact 300 is the brainchild of French racers Thierry Simon and Gilles Garrigou, who have produced this car for use by their team drivers only. The car again sports the conventional layout of the Classique type car but uses modern materials throughout and has fully adjustable caster and front camber. The company are currently working on a new design for the 310 and we hope to show you more information when we get it.

Rony parts for Spada and NT1

Japanese company Rony have announced the release of some new carbon parts for both the Kyosho Spada and the Xray NT1. The Spada gets a new chassis plate which Rony have made from carbon fibre, replacing the standard aluminium version and therefore saving weight without sacrficing strength, although not sure how heat dissipation will be handled. New for the NT1 is a rather beefy looking 4mm thick carbon fibre rear shock tower, the latest in a long line of companies to try their hand at this part.
