Mon-tech Racing Mustang GT3 1:10 Body

Mon-tech Racing has announced their new Mustang GT3 1:10 190mm body shell. From the legendary tracks of the WEC in the GT3 category to the breathtaking battles of the Supercars Championship in Australia, the name Mustang is synonymous with pure power and motorsport history. To faithfully reproduce the muscular lines and complex undercut details of the Mustang GT3, the Italian bid producer pushed their technical limits and after months of rigorous design and testing developed a unique special mold. The result of this is a 0.75mm premium polycarbonate body shell with a level of detail and formal fidelity unprecedented in the RC world. Like every Mon-tech Racing creation, the new Mustang GT3 is conceived, designed, and manufactured entirely at our facility in Scandiano. Designed for 1:10 competition, the Mustang GT3 features dimensions (260mm Wheelbase) that ensure compatibility with all modern 1/10 RC chassis. The kit includes a full set of high-definition decals, window masks for easy painting, and rear wing mounting screws.

Mikimodel MS2.0 2mm Upper Deck

Italian Yokomo distributor Mikimodel has added to its Special Parts line with the release of this 2.0mm one-piece upper deck for the Yokomo MS2.0 Electric Touring Car. The evolution was aimed at creating a car that was easy to handle, yet smooth and with as much traction as possible. The specific design was conceived and developed precisely for this purpose with the front end much more flexible than the much stiffer rear end. Furthermore, the four central screws can be used to completely change the flex setting. Using only the two central screws provides maximum flex, while using all four screws provides maximum rigidity.

Velocity RC VS2 Sprint Car

Oval racing manufacturer Velocity RC’s has announced a new competition Sprint Car, the VS2, which is set to go on pre-order tomorrow (May 7th). The US brand has been working for some time on a purpose built platform with the VS2 a competition ready car kit with 7mm offset chassis. The body and wings are produced in partnership with McAllister Racing with a Custom Works Cage. The front end design is a bit of refinement and a bit of departure from the norm. The refinement is in the design of the front kickups, while not revolutionary they offer the ability to ad optional droop plates as well as – after much much use – the option to use set screws to remove any play in the hinge pins that can develop over time. The departure is in everything else. The steering assembly is tucked in between the front bulkheads, allowing for the battery to be placed further forward, which is desirable on high grip tracks. The bracing of the front end also leads to a more direct steering feel without the loss of rear grip that usually comes from stiffening the entire chassis. The VS2 steering assembly is full Avid RC bearing supported, black anodizsed & edged) aluminium. The design includes steel hat bushings to ensure free movement with no crushed bearings. The steering posts are notched on the bottom for ease of holding in place with the back side of the carbon camber wrench (that is also in the kit). Velocity say what makes the car ‘Competition Ready’ is the kit will include many parts that other companies consider optional. These include Full Aluminium Steering (Bellcranks/Rack), Alu spindles, Alu Rear Hubs, Small bore shock spring collars for small or big bore springs, Alu shock standoffs with delrin balls, full metric hardware, no standard wrenches needed, and 4mm Shock Towers.

The RC Racer TT-02F Front Wheel Drive Conversion Kit

Well known Tamiya website The RC Racer has realised a dream of combining their love of Tamiya and having an accessible entry into the FWD 1:10 Touring Car class with the creation of this conversion kit for the hugely popular TT02. The kit transforms the popular entry level Tamiya into a club spec front wheel drive chassis and takes the unique concept of making the rear of the conventional chassis the front. This provides the car with the front weight bias that is essential for good traction in the popular Frontie class. The concersation is availablr as a free to download 3D print file. In total, there are just three new parts in the conversion – Servo Plate, Front Shock Tower (One for the Standard kit, and one for the TYPE-S chassis), and a Bumper (optional).
