Following the launch of its Mach1 190mm Touring Car body back in June, Italian company Xtreme Aerodynamics has issued an ‘important statement’ regarding new updates to the bodyshell. The statement reads, ‘Following the release of Mach1, several test have been carried out and some room for improvement has been found, thus leading to a new version of the body that has just been released. Changes are minimal and related only to rear part: – Removed side support of the wing: allows wing to bend sideway, miming a softer wing behaviour. – Lowered wing support (2mm): optimize flow under the wing and reduce body frontal area. These changes push in the direction of drag reduction and increased corner speed, especially for Stock class.’

The organiser of next month’s IFMAR electric 1:10 ISTC World Championships in Gubbio, Italy, has released documents which refer to all the homologated parts on car that can be used during the event in the various classes. This document also includes the tires to be used and a recommendation on mounting your transponder. Given the recent motor ‘irregularities’ that lead to 2 of the podium finishers at the European Championship being disqualified from Pro Stock, a review of the documents might be worth a few minutes of any attending racers time.

Team Bomber has released this optional front suspension arm support plate for their AK12 Series 1:12 chassis. This 1.0mm plate is mounted on the upper side of the front suspension arm to alter and strengthen the carbon lower arm so the twisting of the carbon lower arm and warping during driving are suppressed and strengthened to change the handling characteristics. Depending on the track conditions and layout of the circuit, you can easily apply subtle set-up tweaks to the handling “with plates” and “without plates”. If you insert more than 1mm of spacing between the front suspension mount and the suspension arm, use the included 3×10 screws to the arm mounting.
