Yokomo RS1.0 Short Shock Conversion Kit

Yokomo has released a new Short Shock Conversion Kit to further enhance the performance of their RookieSpeed RS1.0 entry level 1:10 Electric Touring Car to racing specifications. This set of carbon shock towers and aluminium short shocks delivers a precise ride with minimal body roll. The shock length has been shortened by more than 7mm to achieve an impressively low centre of gravity. The hard-coated aluminium cylinders operate smoothly and provide a supple suspension that grips the road surface effectively. The latest competition springs can also be used for the shock springs, allowing for a much wider range of settings. The front and rear shock towers, made of carbon and specially designed for short shocks, reduce weight and increase rigidity for sharper response.

MR33 Horizontal Body Mounting Tool

MR33, in collaboration with BOOM RC, has released this Horizontal Body Mounting Tool to make customising your 1:10 scale touring car body a safe and easy task. The MR33 Horizontal Body Mounting Tool consists of high-quality 3D-printed components and is assembled according to a modular system. This means you can use it with the most important 1:10 touring car bodies and always mark and drill your horizontal holes perfectly. The base part is printed in such a way that it can be placed perfectly on the rear wing brackets of the corresponding body. This means that everything is perfectly centred right from the start. Use the enclosed full-surface plastic washers to set the desired distance between the body holes (measured downwards from the spoiler mount). Most teams already have specifications here that you can use as a guide. The marking plate screwed to the base part indicates the perfect hole positions that you need to mark by means of the exact hole spacing. Then all you have to do is drill the holes and that’s it. Sounds simple – and it is. With the MR33 Horizontal Body Mounting Tool, shaking or marking the holes at an angle is practically no longer possible. Different versions (with different inserts) are available, and MR33 has also prepared the marking plates for different touring car models.
