HotRace 1/8 onroad Lens tires

HotRace have introduced their newest product for the 1/8 on road class, called Lens tires. These new onroad tires present a different foam propriety and an innovative rim material that isn’t affected by different weather conditions. In a change from the usual shore rating, these new tires will be represented with colours, red for super soft, green for soft and light blue for medium, with a further option for normal or high grip conditions, the latter sporting an additional white dot next to the shore colour. Also new is that you can add the included Lexan Lens disc (LLD) to make the car more comfortable in the corner. The result of 10 months of hard work and development, these tires do not replace their current 1/8 on road tires and are just an additional product for this class. Supplied in a box and sold as a complete set of 4, the Italian brand plans to produce only 300 sets every month and you will find on each box the month and the number of production.

Carisma RC GT24 4wd RTR

Carisma RC have introduced a new model in their range with the release of this GT24 RTR 4wd model. The GT24 RS is a 1/24th retro micro rally car that’s inspired by the classic era of 70’s and 80’s rally car history. The body is a nostalgic nod to the classic RWD rally pioneers, but our version stays firmly in 4wd territory, offering the best in retro looks and a modern RC driveline. With brushless power as standard, and sporting features like 2.4Ghz radio gear, a fast responsive hobby grade steering servo, rally pin tyres and a fully ball raced 4wd transmission, these 1/24th rally cars not only look the part, they perform way beyond peoples perception of a ‘Micro’ vehicle.
