Serpent Medius X26 Electric Touring Car

Serpent has released their latest 1:10 Electric Touring Car, the Medius x26. Serpent’s goal for the latest evolution of the Medius was to engineer a next-gen chassis shape with improved flex for ultimate grip. With less rear overhang, they claim razor-sharp steering response through every apex with the new chassis shape is available in high-grade carbon or as a state-of-the-art, DLC-coated steel version. The X26 kit get a completely redesigned suspension. Ultra-stiff and incredibly lightweight lower carbon suspension arms minimize unsprung weight while maximising chassis agility. The Dual Link Upper Arm System gives total control over setup with hyper-precise caster and camber adjustments, tailored for any track condition. Matching the new suspension, the kit also features Ultra-Short Shock Absorbers which are optimised to achieve an extremely low centre of gravity (LCG) that heavily reduces body roll for razor-sharp stability. Additionally, the shocks are mounted closer to the chassis centre to minimise rotational inertia, allowing for faster direction changes.

R1 Wurks R1B Rear Carbon Chassis Brace

Becoming a full buggy kit manufacturer earlier this year with the release of their 2WD R1B, California based aftermarket buggy parts producer R1 Wurks has released this Rear Carbon Chassis Brace for its own buggy. This option can be used to tune the rear chassis flex of the R1B with two options offered – Medium-Soft, and Medium. The brace slot just under the kit-standard aluminium brace in terms of flexibility. However, they provide a different feel compared to the aluminium brace, as these braces have more spring due to their material and isotropic layup construction, which delivers exceptional and consistent flex characteristics. For weight comparison, the Aluminium version is 9.85 grams while the Carbon, Medium is 6.48 grams and Carbon, Medium-Soft is just 5.10 grams.

Xray X4F’27 1:10 FWD Touring Car

Xray has presented details of its newest kit offering for the 1:10 FWD Touring Car class, the X4F’27. Based on a new 2.2mm carbon chassis with rear cut-outs integrated with the carbon flex brace system to provide multiple rear flex settings for different track conditions, key features of the Slovakian manufacturer’s new frontie contender include a new gear differential with lightweight & ultra-reliable design. New front bulkhead flex adjustment system provides a wide range of flex settings for different track conditions with new one-piece short lower CFF2 suspension arms specially designed for X4F increasing suspension rigidity and improve overall handling, response, and maximum steering. A new carbon fibre steering plates with optimised geometry and flex characteristics reduces weight and increases mechanical traction while a new carbon fibre ARS plates with two rear link mounting positions optimises rear suspension geometry and flex characteristics, reducing rear suspension weight, and expanding ARS setup adjustment. Other improvements to the car include updated top decks optimised for flex characteristics and compatible with the optional aluminium braces to expand the flex adjustment alternatives. New rear bulkhead flex adjustment system provides a wide range of rear flex settings for different track conditions. Updated 1mm higher shock holders repositioned to complement the updated suspension geometry, increasing suspension travel and providing three flex adjustment positions.

JConcepts Silent Rage, Kosmos, Frizzy, and X-Bite 1:10 Buggy Tyres

JConcepts is wrapping up the final full week of June with a big drop of new tyres for 1:10 Buggy releasing the Silent Rage, Kosmos, Frizzy, and X-Bite. The Silent Rage was originally designed for the 2023 IFMAR World Championships at Hobby Action Raceway in Arizona. During the build-up to the world championships, the team felt the open front tire could leave an option to create an advantage for its team drivers and the new tire was specifically designed to have 2 different sidewall heights and depending on conditions, the user could alter the direction for gains. As it happened, the indoor circuit did not mature as rapidly as thought and the new Silent Rage were never removed from hiding. This did not stop the development, JConcepts doubled down and created a rear tire in the same fashion. Throughout 2024-2026 the team has tested this concept at tracks across the country with great results on off-road and dirt oval track competition. The composition of the tyre body makes it ideal for high-bite surfaces. A racer can place the low-profile sidewall toward the inside or outside depending on conditions or stagger for dirt oval or banked conditions.

Takashima D-13 V2 Rear Body Support

Takashima D-13 has released the second generation of its Rear Body Support. Designed to prevent lightweight body shells from deforming at high speeds while reducing the risk of cracking around the rear wheel arch area, by helping the body shell maintain its intended aerodynamic shape, the support contributes to more consistent downforce, improved durability and stable on-track performance. The V2 Rear Body Support includes four different wire heights, allowing racers to fine-tune the fitment for various body shells and mounting positions. Designed with a focus on convenience, strength and durability, the system provides effective rear body support while minimising any influence on chassis flex characteristics, ensuring the car retains its intended handling balance and performance.

Singapore’s RCMC resurfacing complete

Having reported on the track works at Singapore’s only permanent track, as the main driving force behind the resurfacing Dayrl Thong has sent us images of the finished RCMC track. With the last resurfacing work done back in 2014, the latest track work was 100% funded by the local community through a donation drive led by Thong, led both the drive and the entire project. The entire old track was milled out to allow for a new layer of asphalt to be laid. Prior to the resurfacing works, all the grass in the islands were dug out, levelled with soil and planted with new grass so fix the potholes and for aesthetics. With eSIC cancelled this year due to the planned resurfacing works, planning is now underway for the 2027 event. The 2026 Singapore International Nitro Grand Prix, which will be held the same weekend as the Singapore Formula 1 GP, will be the first major event held at the resurfaced venue.
