Corally RDX phi, best launch photo…..ever

Corally RDX phi chick

Corally have been known to put women, wearing very little clothing, in their promotional material before, but this is just the most blatant attention whoring ever, and i love it. Using the same stripper from the DHI cup, Corally presents us with their latest and greatest car, the ‘Phi’. I don’t need to go into details about the cars specs again so i wont, you can check those out here. The car will be shown at NÃ¼rnberg this week and be available soon after.

New Crono buggy, not RC8

Team Associated RC8

Two days ago we showed this picture and asked if it was the new Associated and well what we know about the new RC8 pretty much ruled it out, like the fact that it uses C hubs and will come with a somewhat radical wing and body. So now there has been a lot of guessing concerning this picture, myself included, and it seems the front runner is that this is the new Crono and comparing it to a picture of the RS03 would seem to confirm that.

GRP release new clothing line

GRP, makers of tyres and more recently engines alongside Mario Rossi, have released details of their upcoming clothing line and it seems pretty extensive. Not only do they have their newly designed orange and black t-shirts, shirts, sweaters, fleeces, jackets and hats but they also have shorts and trousers. Pretty extensive and no very easy to show that you support GRP.

Team Orion Wasp CRF .21

Team Orion have announced that they will introduce the .21 3.5cc version of their revolutionary CRF Wasp motor at the Nurnberg toy fair next week. Made with input from Adrien Bertin, although how much influence could he have only being there a month is questionable, the engine is designed for use in your buggy or even your truggy. More information will be made available when its released.

Is this the Team Associated RC8?

Team Associated RC8

Our mate Philip over at Neo Buggy has a spyshot on his site and although he’s not giving too much away on what manufacturer it is from, you have to ask who is left to show their entry into this class besides Team Associated. The upcoming RC8 is eagerly awaited and while it will contain some parts from the Thunder Tiger buggy, it should be all new. When we find out more we will let you know.

UPDATE: We have been reminded that the new Asso will be released with C-hubs and this car doesnt appear to have them. Damn, so that means we are no closer to finding out who this car is from, perhaps Crono?
