Corally Pro 10 and Formula cars

I saw pictures of this new Pro 10 from Corally a few days ago and originally thought it was an old car from a few years back but it appears to be new, with a number of sites picking up on it, and also the new Formula 1 chassis. No details are given on either car on the Corally site, but RC Car Action state that both chassis’ appear to have Titanium-fortified Dynamic Strut front ends, 1/12 scale-type rear pods, goo-tube roll dampers and mono-crank steering on the F1 car.

Serpent Centax-3 one piece pinions

New for the Serpent Centax 3 clutch are these one-piece 2-speed pinions. Made from steel, instead of the standard coated aluminium, they are much stronger than the previous versions as well as more durable, having a better resistance to wear from grit and sand picked up on the track. The 2 pinions are now combined in one piece of metal, instead of 2 separate gears that are screwed together, and this now simply screws to the clutch bell for a very secure and true clutch assembly.
