Maclan Racing DRK 160 Drag Race ESC

New from Maclan Racing, the DRK 160 Drag Race ESC is specifically designed for the extremely competitive and popular no-prep drag racing segment. The most exciting part of this ESC is its all-new 3-stage launch power control software. It is operated by a 32-Bit super fast CPU with an all new algorithm specifically designed for this class. The software was inspired by the full scale drag race cars with extremely complicated processing for the smoothest launch traction control, yet most powerful acceleration. Thanks to the powerful 32-Bit CPU the ESC is able to remap the throttle curve in 3 stages precisely, all you need to do for the win is to focus on the starting signal for the full throttle launch.

LCG Racing T4’20 SFX Conversion chassis

LCG Racing have introduced this new aluminium chassis for the Xray T4 2020 SFX Conversion which features a stepped decrease of cutout width from front to rear. This makes the chassis softer in the front and stiffer in the rear which they claim makes the car smoother at corner entry and more stable on power while increasing steering through the corner. The chassis is designed with reduced width at the droop screw area to decrease scrubbing and, therefore, increase corner speed and only includes long suspension arm holes to improve strength and optimise flex characteristics. The black anodised aluminium chassis is made from high quality 7075 Aluminium and comes laser engraved with the LCG and SFX logos.

Tamiya TA07 MSX chassis kit

Coming soon from Tamiya, the TA07 MSX chassis kit is their latest single belt 4wd 1/10th scale chassis. An evolution of the TA07 MS, the car features a new 2.25mm thick carbon fibre chassis and 2.0mm thick aluminium chassis to help dial it in to various track conditions. Using a vertically mounted 2.0mm thick upper deck, it creates improved roll characteristics while ensuring pitching rigidity. In addition, two motor positions with different traction characteristics can be selected and as with the TRF420 the suspension mounts use inserts for fine adjustment. The front and rear pulleys are the same as the TRF420 as are the SSBB dampers and to that end there is new 3mm thick carbon fibre shock towers front and rear.

Rebellion RC X20 Crossflex aluminium chassis

The new Rebellion-RC Crossflex aluminium chassis for the Serpent X20 touring car is here. The chassis was developed for use in medium to high-bite traction conditions with its highly machined design allowing for optimised flex characteristics that can be greatly influenced with the use of up to ten optional brass inserts that not only add weight in the lowest area of the chassis, but they can also be used to change the overall torsional flex characteristics. The sidelines of the chassis have a front to rear 30° chamfered edge for better sliding behaviour when the chassis touches the ground and the cutouts for the Diff/Spool also have chamfered edges to get more space between the rotary parts and the chassis. The chassis is machined from high-quality 7075 T6 aluminium, it comes black anodised for wear and looks, features a laser-engraved Rebellion-RC logo and it weighs in at 84g alone and up to 130g using the optional brass inserts.

Capricorn P10 SR 1/10th 4wd EP pan car

Yet more new products from Capricorn with the release of their P10 SR 1/10th scale 4wd EP pan car, which we showed renderings of back in August. The car will run a 200mm standard width with 45mm wide rear tyres and 30mm front and is designed to accept a shorty pack or standard square style battery with the ability to run up to 3S. While the rear of the car is fixed and with a straight axle there is little to adjust, up front the flex can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the nuts on the front lower carbon plate for a different feeling if needed.
