The RC10R5.1 Factory Team kit takes the next evolutionary step into the growing 1:10 scale World GT on-road racing class. Taking the design cues and revisions from the highly successful RC12R5.2 platform, the 10R5.1 has incorporated these improvements, pushing chassis performance to the next level. Sharing what is arguably the best pan car front end design to date, the IFMAR World Championship-winning Dynamic Strut front end features symmetrical components with adjustable caster and track width, and updated lower control arms with more accurate mounting for a more precise build every time.
TOP Racing have released this narrow front arm mount for the Rebel R-F01 Formula One car. This option is for the drivers who would like to run their Rebel R-F01 narrower as a setup option or in races under a narrow tread width regulation.

Tyre Additive have announced the new Futura 2012 Winter, a special foam tyre additive formulated for winter season. During winter season it is very difficult to find grip so Futura introduces a new solution, Polymer Technology. The additive contains a chemical polymer that helps keep the heat inside the tyre and give you more grip when outside temperature is very cold.

For the RX8, Xray have introduced this pair of suspension arm graphite extensions for both the front and rear lower arms. The front lower suspension arm graphite extension features a lower and wider shock hole (compared to original) providing better stability and softer damping. This gives less initial steering, improves cornering speed and give less traction roll under high-grip conditions. The rear lower suspension arm graphite extension places the shock mount between the two holes of the standard graphite extension. This increases stability and improves cornering speed compared to the inner position, but provides more traction compared to the outer position.
