A first – pretty blurry – image of Tamiya’s new TC-01 chassis has popped up on social media. The vehicle depicts a Formula E car and thus the shaft-driven 4WD chassis is expected to be of a pretty low-slung design. We bring you more details on the project as they become available and in the meantime here is a short video of the car in action.

Pro—Line have introduced their new pre-cut and pre-painted Flo-Tek Fusion and Monster Fusion body truck body shells. Starting with the Flo-Tek Fusion, the body comes completely pre-painted in black with detailed wrap decals and it is pre-cut to get racers going even faster. To finish the body just install the decals and put in the body post holes and go. The Fusion wrap decals are pre-cut and feature Pro-Line blue speed lines that will make the truck stand out from the rest. The polycarbonate is made from black material, so owners never have to worry about paint peeling or chipping off. Realistic window stickers are also included. The Fusion features large vent holes in the front, middle and rear of the body for maximum protection against parachuting and the most important holes have been cut out already. The Flo-Tek Fusion retains the aggressive fender flares and front grill from the original Flo-Tek that everyone loves. The rear end was inspired by the EVO with large openings everywhere and ideal body mounting positions for the wide variety of trucks on the market. The Fusion body also includes roof vents to make it the best jumping body available and kick-ups on the roof and rear fenders to keep the truck glued to the track. The body fits most 1/10th scale 2WD and 4WD short course trucks.
