Agama N110 1:10 2WD Buggy

Agama has officially released images and details of its first foray into 1:10 Offroad with the release of the N110 1:10 2WD Buggy. Set to be available in the fourth quarter of 2024. After years of design and development, including building on the success of its bigger brother – the Agama N1 1:8 platform, that revolutionary design is finally realised in the 1:10 market. Its unique suspension creates an incredibly low centre of gravity race car, while their engineering teams experience has pushed to ensure that not only is it fast, but it’s the easiest car to work on in its class, just like its big brother. Lower COG makes the N110 more consistent to drive while being able to hold higher corner speeds. With the N110, Agama introduce RAD, its Rapid Access Diff gearbox for easy and quick diff removal at the rear of the buggy. The number of parts you need to remove for easy maintenance is reduced, allowing you to spend less time wrenching and more time racing. High grade metal and plastic parts are found throughout the kit, making sure your car is not only fast, but durable too. A Linear Rail Steering System removes all the traditional steering system, replacing it with the lowest, cleanest play-free solution creating a feel while driving that is so smooth in the curve.

Capelli F1-RR 1:10 Formula 1

We love nothing more than a passion product and it is super exciting to see this one, the Capelli F1-RR 1:10 Formula 1, coming Victoria, Australia. A project brought to fruition by Ryan Capel, it was designed and manufactured ‘In a shed, literally’. The origin of this project started with Capel’s passion for 1:12 Pan car racing. He wanted to race 1:10 F1 but lacked enthusiasm towards rubber tyres, so decided to construct a chassis that could race on small diameter foam tyres. (40mm – 52mm). Racing on asphalt in Australia means 5mm minimum ride height, this is not achievable with any chassis on the market today, whilst using 42mm rear foam tyres. Testing thus far has seen lap times on par with 1:12 chassis on asphalt. While currently a very limited range of F1 foam tyres / wheels exist in varying shores and compounds but this is something Capel is working to bring to market.
