ZooRacing BAYBEE 190mm touring car body shell

ZooRacing have introduced their new BAYBEE touring car body shell for 190mm chassis. The lid is basically an evolution of the ultra-popular DBX with a comparable roof line and design, however the slightly stretched roof reduces aerodynamic drag, resulting in higher corning speeds, something especially stock class racers will be looking for. New for the BAYBEE is also a longer and rounder front end shape for increased corner speeds under power, allowing for precise handling especially in larger corners while reducing tyre scrub at the same time which further helps to maintain high speeds and smooth cornering. All this comes without sacrificing low-speed steering with the BAYBEE offering razor-sharp steering response in technical parts of the track. Compared to the already low-profile appearance of the DBX, the BAYBEE features a once more lowered shoulder line, hood and trunk section allowing to substantially to mount the body lower on the chassis, resulting in a once more lowered overall centre of gravity. Part of the package is also a redesigned High Efficient rear wing that is of a curved design, following the new rear end shape which results in an even more efficient air flow between body shell and wing. Other aerodynamic features include redesigned side skirts for optimised airflow and further improved stability while reinforcement ribbing on the trunk ensure best possible rigidity even under heavy loads as they occur in today’s modified class racing. Last but not least comes the realistic front end design that not only makes for a cool new look but the sculptured hood design is also meant to improve airflow and overall stability and durability of the body shell.

Kyosho RB7 2L aluminium steering bellcrank arms

Coming from Kyosho and made for the RB7 series of 2WD buggies are the new 2L aluminium steering bellcrank arms. The parts are 2mm longer than the existing UMW716 arms for an optimised steering geometry that makes for smoother initial steering and thus overall smoother cornering. The arms are machined from high-quality aluminium for precision and strength and they come anodised in a dark colour to match the remainder of the buggy’s optionals.

FTX Outback Hi-Rock 1/10 trail crawler RTR

FTX have introduced the Outback Hi-Rock, an evolution of the Outback trail chassis. As trail and crawler fans continue to crave both scale performance and scale looks, FTX have looked to address both with the Hi-Rock. Featuring a new split transmission, the motor is now mounted directly above the front axle alongside the steering servo providing extra weight up front for better traction when climbing ascents. The steering angle has been increased to a 45 degrees angle for further improved trail manoeuvrability. An adjustable drivetrain slipper can be set to protect the transmission and driveshafts in the event of a lock up, while internal axle and gearbox metal gears provide long term durability. The split transmission layout provides a much lower centre section allowing for aftermarket interiors to be mounted for added scale realism. The moulded side chassis plates have aluminium plates on the exterior while the inner plates provide protection from the elements as well as mounting receiver and Hobbywing speed control. The moulded receiver box features additional plug in ports for LED lights and aftermarket winches. The classic pick-up inspired body shell comes complete with moulded accessories such as front grill and LED light buckets, snorkel, mirrors, wipers, roll bar cage and spotlights for optional LEDs. Front and rear bumpers feature mounted LED lights and tow hooks to top off that scale look. The ready-to-run truck will hit stores in mid-February.
