Reds Racing Rotary Backplate

Reds Racing has finally released its RTX Rotary Backplate which the Italian engine brand claim is an engineering masterpiece that will revolutionise the world of RC Model Nitro Engines. Developed by Marco and Mario Rossi in collaboration with some of the best RC drivers in the world, the backplate aims to increase engine power and improve stability at idle speed thanks to a drastic reduction in friction between the connecting rod and backplate. Reds Racing was one of the first companies in the world to work on reducing the friction between the backplate connecting rod with the introduction of DLC coating on the backplate. This time their engineers have invented something unique in the RC model market, destined to be considered one of the most innovative solutions of the last 30 years. Contrary to what happens for traditional RC engines, where the connecting rod slides on the backplate producing sliding friction, in the RTX Backplate the connecting rod is in contact with a special steel plate that can rotate together with the conrod thanks to the fact that it is mounted on two special high speeds ball bearings. The backplate is designed, made and tested in Italy respecting the best quality standards. It is currently only available as an optional part and suitable only for Reds Racing engines on road and off road.

ReveD RDX black FRP chassis and side decks

Japanese RC Drift car manufacturer ReveD has released this Black FRP main chassis & side deck set and side deck set for it RDX 1:10 drift kit. The main chassis and side decks, which use cool black FRP, make the RDX run more competitive by increasing the machine’s pitching rigidity and providing moderate flexibility. In addition to the RDX standard hole positions on the main chassis, service holes that can be used with some MC-1 parts have also been drilled, making it highly scalable. By attaching the side deck set to the composite resin main chassis, it improves the rigidity in the pitching direction while taking advantage of the advantage of the genuine chassis that is easy to manoeuvre, and the feeling of kicking out when the throttle is turned on is more improved. The battery is only compatible with short Li-Po horizontal placement.
