Yokomo Drift Car Double-Bearing Front Axle System

Designed for compatibility with their RD, SD, and MD series of 1:10 Drift cars’ front axles, Yokomo has introduced this double-bearing front axle system which significantly reduces friction by distributing load across the two bearings. This minimises rotational resistance in the front tires, enhancing overall performance. The axle shaft, made from high-quality steel but reduced to a Φ3mm diameter, is engineered to lower both weight and rotational moment. This design enables smoother rolling during acceleration, providing an extra boost when exiting corners while also preventing wheel spin. Additionally, tread width can be adjusted by simply replacing the included spacers, offering greater flexibility in tuning.

Orlowski adds 1st 2WD Offroad European title

Michal Orlowski has added the EFRA 1:10 2WD European Championship title to his CV for the first time, the Schumacher/Hobbywing driver taking the win in Sweden where the championships are being hosted indoors for the very first time. The reigning 4WD European Champion would secure the overall TQ in Malmo topping 4 of the 5 rounds of qualifying. Schumacher team-mate Daniel Kobbevik took Q5 to secure P2 on the grid with Team Associated’s defending Champion Marcus Kaerup claiming 3rd ahead of the Xray’s of Bruno Coelho and David Ronnefalk. In the triple finals, Orlowski took A1 by almost 4 seconds over Norwegian Kobbevik as Ben Smith came through for third. A2 would be a much closer finish as Kaerup with the only 18-second lap of the race tried to force the fight to A3 but coming up 9/100ths short it was Orlowski who took A2 and the title. With a number of drivers in contention for the other podium placing in A3, it looked to be Kobbevik who would fill the second step but chased down by Kaerup, a mistake with 30-seconds to go, allowed Kaerup through for the win and runner-up spot. Kobbevik completed the podium ahead of Smith. Orlowski will now try to go for his first Euros double as the rest of the week switches to the 4WD title fight.

JConcepts Toolbox and Storage Boxes

Set for release in November, JConcepts has unveiled its new range of Toolbox and Storage box options. In development for quite some time, the Toolbox, designed from the ground up specifically for RC, incorporates many features already used in the pits but is modelled for the RC enthusiast. One of the Florida company’s most expensive injection-molded items to date, the project began by designing the lower box, which can be paired with two different functional covers. A racer’s best friend, the JC team aimed to combine aspects of their favourite options into three usable choices for travel or home organisation. One key aspect of this project was enhancing organisation and refining the system. While dividers in traditional storage boxes are handy, they often slide, move, or fall out during use. JConcepts set out to secure these dividers by designing a system where they are fixed with screws from the underside of the box. All dividers can be locked into place with the included hardware. The box’s interior has been rearranged to allow more RC-specific space and compartments.
