Vigor A800MMX 1-piece flex top deck

Coming from Vigor and made for the Awesomatix A800MMX touring car is a 1-piece flex top deck. Machined from high-quality 2.0mm carbon fibre the top deck is of a 1-piece design, different from the MMX’s standard 2-piece upper deck, making for different torsional flex characteristics of the chassis construction. The asymmetrical design allows to swap the top deck without having to remove the spur gear, ensuring swift and easy setup changes.

New MP10 drivetrain options – Coming soon

Coming soon from Kyosho are new drivetrain option parts for the Kyosho MP10 platform that were just announced by Kyosho’s own Yuichi Kanai on social media. The range will include new 42T differential and 12T input gears that will improve the buggy’s low speed agility. To make up for the changed internal gear ratio, Kyosho will also release a 45T main gear that will bring back top speed while also helping to settle the buggy on bumpy parts of the track, all while making for a somewhat softer characteristic at lower speeds, making the car easier to drive.

Yokomo BD9 2.0mm flex upper deck

Coming from Yokomo and made for the BD9 touring car is a 2.0mm carbon fibre flex upper deck. Using the same graphite material as the standard top deck, the flex variant is of a different shape with a redesigned, increased torsional flex front section which results in a milder steering response which comes in handy to calm down steering in high-bite track conditions while increasing rear traction for lower grip tracks. The top deck is machined from high-quality carbon fibre and a direct fit, however Yokomo recommends to use alloy upper deck screws to maximise the top deck’s effects.

RC Maker CentraFlex BD10 top deck & post set

RC Maker have introduced their new CentraFlex top deck and post set for the Yokomo BD10 mid motor touring car. Conventionally in mid motor setups as seen on the BD10, the front of the top deck is entirely split in order to be able to slide the top deck over the front belt. This provides a significant amount of flex to the front of the car only, creating quite an imbalance in the top deck’s flex characteristics. The CentraFlex has been developed to slide in from the side under the belts, and due to the single sided design, can be joined in front of the spur gear to prevent excessive front top deck and bulkhead flex, bringing back the balance of front to rear flex provided by the top deck. As well as this, RC Maker have also added an additional post in front of the spur, to add more options when tuning the chassis’ flex. By installing or removing the flanged bearings either side of the spur gear, owners can change the flex point of the car instantly, either moving it forwards or backwards to adjust the balance of the car.
