Rebellion RC have introduced an updated version of their Crossflex chassis for the Xray T4’20. New on the V2 aluminium chassis is that all the holes for short arms have been removed which leads to a narrower rear end which in turn improves on power behaviour due to less chassis/ground contact.

Having previously shown you prototype photos of Awesomatix’ radical new A12 1/12th scale chassis, today the Russian company have released final details & photos of their soon to be available car. The first thing you notice about the A12 is simply how low it sits. A low centre of gravity is a critical element in racing performance for any class, and this is further exemplified by the A12 pan car on an entirely new level. Much like the Awesomatix A800MMX touring car, the A12 far surpasses all existing 12th scales by providing a much lower centre of gravity.
