Bittydesign P-GT3R 1:10 GT 190mm body

Continuing to expand their range of bodies for the GT class, Italian company Bittydesign has released the all new P-GT3R body shell made for 1:10 190mm electric touring car platforms. The body shell is universal and mounts on all 1:10 190mm models, the wing complies with the measures as per USGT regulation (10mm height) and can therefore be used at any race. The shapes inspired by a GT3 racing car have been adapted to the proportions and measures necessary for use with the 190mm electric models; the design phase took several months to finish every single particular, the attention to detail was obsessive in order to propose a body that could optimise aerodynamics and at the same time remain real in its proportions and aesthetics. Included in the kit are a complete set of screw, nuts and large plastic washers to fix properly the rear wing, the front nose flaps (mounted with double side tape) and a decal sheet pre-cut and windows mask.

New from 175RC is this Carbon Fibre battery hold down system for Team Associated’s RC10B7 1:10 2WD Buggy. This system features carbon straps that replace the stock plastic holders, and uses quick release urethane straps to keep your battery in place during hard cornering and landings. These straps provide a nice cushion for your battery to ride against, instead of hard plastic tabs wearing on the case, and causing your battery unnecessary stress. This system also comes with upgraded Ti-Look screws for that Factory Team look.

2024 Philippine Masters Chassis Focus Index

Last weekend Red RC made our third trip to Manila for the world class offroad event that is the Philippine Masters. Famed as being Asia’s biggest annual 1:8 Offroad race, the Circulo Verde track is renowned for its difficulty and 3D style build with this year’s 12 edition of the race using a new method to seal the surface. This resulted in minimal tyre wear even over the 1-hour Main final in which Team Associated’s Davide Ongaro recovered from an early flame out to take his fourth win in the capital city. The first time Sparko was officially represented at the race, a great driver by Ryan Pavidis netted the American runner-up spot. Great to see the legendary Atsushi Hara back racing at the the front end. It was great to once again do a chassis focus with him, Sworkz hooking him up for the event, and it great to see the former World Champion enjoying his racing so much once again. Attracting 205 entries from 16-nations, we got the chance to photograph buggies from 9 drivers representing 7 different manufacturers as well as the TQ & winning Sworks truggy of Bulgaria visitor Plamen Petrov we will have compiled into our latest Chassis Focus Index.
