Fenix Racing have introduced their new R14 235mm pancar body. A new path for Pro10 bodies, it uses the centre of the body to create most of the downforce. This design allows a minimal longitudinal flex of the body, improving the rigidity of the rear end. A ‘Gurney Flap’ is provided in the mould to further tune the rear end grip, while the front end can be balanced thanks to the front extractors, just behind the front axle. The body is made of strong yet lightweight 0.75mm Lexan polycarbonate and it will fit most 235mm pan cars.

Arrowmax is proud to present their all-new 4D setup system. Having the best and precise setup is one of the most important factors in winning races and setup systems allow you to comfortably measure and adjust camber, caster, toe-in/out, track width and steering throw symmetry. In the past year there has been a trend in touring car to move towards using the pivot ball system. With that in mind Arrowmax decided to innovate a completely new system to allow users to measure and adjust the caster angle comfortably. Another key element added is for users to measure the track width using the 4D setup system. The built-in ruler allows users to check the distance between the hexes, resulting in a much better understanding of their car setup. The reading of toe-in/out are now measured on the laser-engraved 7075 CNC body without the long and bulky acrylic plate. Giving a much precise measurement. The whole system is very small, light, and are designed with a purpose to improve the quality of life. Storage and transportation becomes less of a hassle.

Rêve D’s first RWD drift servo gyro, called Revox, is finally ready for release. It features a new ‘gyro curve setting’ function, which following repeated tests in various situations with many different drift specific servos, enables the user to change the initial curve value in 6 stages according to skill, track surface conditions, track layout and so on. The optimum setting is simply made by clicking the setup switch. The aluminum case has a lightweight and compact design taking up very little space in the car. A programming card can be used to set all of the gyro curve functions, endpoint function and reverse switching.

Schumacher have introduced their new Icon 2, 1/10th Competition Formula car. The Icon platform is BRCA National winning and MICC championship dominating. Thanks to this and a vast amount of racing experience from their strong team of drivers and engineering team, the Icon 2 is the natural evolution of an already fantastic chassis. It boasts a wide range of new refinements to increase performance, reduce lap times and improve durability beginning with a new gear differential offering improved cornering ability in the majority of conditions. On power steering is improved along with corner entry stability. The car will also drive much flatter and have more predictability in high traction conditions. The ball differential can still be used and is likely to be an improvement only in very low traction conditions. The is also a new left hand rear wheel clamp design. This new one piece, rotationally balanced design is lighter, simpler and the perfect match for our new gear differential. It may also be used with the ball differential. An all new design for the rear wing mounting assembly, features 7075 Aluminium lower, and C/F upper components. Style, centre of gravity, durability and stiffness has been improved in this area. Other new items include V2 damper rods with a much larger internal hole diameter, new side link mounts for increased durability, new front end chassis posts for increased durability, and a new simplified and stylish front wing mounting using thread inserts.
