OfficinaRC Tungsten Disco

OfficinaRC have introduced the Tungsten Disco. These tungsten discs increase weight and help balancing the car without compromising the flex of the chassis. They are made in 2 sizes, 7.5g and 15g, with their shape is designed to be stacked on top of each other in order to select the appropriate weight. There is an internal thread so they can be easily mounted and thanks to the material used, they are heavy yet take up half the space of weights made of other materials.

Xpress Dragnalo DR1S upgrade parts

Xpress have released a number of upgrade parts for the Dragnalo DR1S, including some graphite upgrades and an aluminium motor mount which connects the rear end to the middle of the chassis. The motor mount which has the rear bulkhead integrated, removes the flex that might occur when delivering large amounts of power during your drag runs. This allows for better power delivery on startup. The new graphite chassis reduces the flex of the chassis and gives more consistent performance during hot weather when compared to the stock fibre glass chassis. A new motor mount plate is now also available in graphite, reinforcing the motor area to reduce flex when applying power to the car and is available for both 1/8 motors and 540 motors. A graphite shock tower, which also fits on our Execute XQ2S, enables you to run their short shocks. And finally, the new graphite top deck further controls the flex of your chassis, changing to this will give you a more consistent chassis similar to the effect of the graphite chassis as it deals with high temperatures better.

Rêve D MC-II conversion set for GRK GSⅡ Evo

Rêve D release this new MC-II conversion set for GRK GSⅡ Evo made by Shibata. Their chief designer Hayato Matsuzaki and his RêveD super development team have put all their efforts into creating it. Their goal was to bring out extra performance from the GSII EVO, which already has a strong grip feeling with weight distribution closer to the rear. They have enhanced the inherent properties of the car to catch the road surface by enabling a more active suspension motion and have succeeded in creating a machine that is easy to transfer weight with improved handling. This conversion follows the regulation of the ‘GRK Strongest Championship’ scheduled to be held in 2022.
