Arrowmax BB DJC driveshafts

Arrowmax introduce their new ball-bearing ‘BB’ DJC driveshafts. The double jointed driveshaft provides high performance characteristics over standard blade-type driveshafts. Featuring ball-bearings in the drive cups, the pin slides in perfectly to reduce free-play and thus increases longevity. The reduced friction also helps to increase acceleration and cornering speed. Available for the Xray T4 (52mm & 53mm), the Yokomo BD10 and Serpent X20 they come in a set and drive cups will be included.

Xtreme Aerodynamics Twister Speciale TC shell

Xtreme Aerodynamics have introduced the follow up to their ubiquitous Twister touring car shell, the Twister Speciale. Developed using the most advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics software to analyse flows and vortex generations, several iterations and a massive track test session lead to an optimal balance, extremely high downforce level and improved aerodynamic efficiency. This resulting body shell gives more corner speed, more rotation along with more top speed.

Bittydesign Hyper-M 1/10 M-Chassis body

Having released the Hyper body for 190mm touring class about a year ago, Bittydesign are now pleased to present the little sister for the 1/10 M-chassis division called the Hyper-M. Having completely redesigned the project in order to fit the body perfectly on the M-chassis’ 210-225mm wheelbase it was created with the intention to offer a high performance product with a look that replicates the shape of a true sport car. Sold clear, it is made with high quality polycarbonate with protective film, it comes with wing hardware, windows mask and a very high quality and pre-cut decal sheet.

Tamiya TG10-Mk.2 FZ Raikiri GT 2020

Tamiya have introduced their latest version of the Raikiri GT, using the updated for 2020 TG10-Mk.2 FZ chassis. An evolution of the previous chassis, the new car sports a full carbon fibre top deck as well as 3mm thick aluminium chassis plate. Double wishbone 4-wheel independent suspension is standard with updated CVA oil dampers with an optimised shaft length. The included Tamiya FS-12FZ engine is equipped with a lightweight flywheel and a thin TM-8 muffler as standard and utilises a 2-speed gearbox. The body of course is the real star of this release, based on the styling of the NSX GT, the Raikiri GT remains unchanged from its predecessor.

H2 Racing Development 419MM V2 chassis kit

H2 Racing Development have released the V2 version of their 419MM kit, based on the TRF419. The mid-motor design, compared with the mid-pulley design, gives the chassis more stability and a better feel, which they claim makes it easier to handle in different traction conditions. Not only does the chassis and deck have a new and slimmer design, this V2 kit has also different lower bulkhead positions. This change gives the front and rear belt the same size and distance as the 420MM, meaning they use the same belt set. The suspension arm mounts have also had a small change, again to make it as similar as possible as the 420MM. Other updates are the new shock towers for the SSBB damper and the batteries are now also more centrally located for more equal front and rear weight distribution. This kit is suitable for the TRF419, 419X & 419XR.

Serpent Natrix 750 Evo 1/10 GP

Serpent have introduced the Natrix 750 Evo, the follow up to the company’s successful line of 1/10th 200mm nitro cars. Starting with the back bone of the car, the chassis has been improved regarding its flex characteristics and now takes on the isolated weight bridge from the 989 and incorporates a way to use a small adjustable weight in the front for high grip conditions. The rear suspension is all new and features the possibility of a toe change during suspension travel which due to its unique design there is zero binding under all circumstances. In the neutral position the toe-change is absolute zero however the higher the link is mounted on the upright, the more toe-gain is achieved under compression resulting in more rear traction under acceleration. The 2-speed gearbox is also completely new and is based on the 989 gearbox and bullet-proofed. The shocks are taken from the 989 and provide trouble-free, low friction action for increased traction. As an option you can now mount a heave damper setup on the front and the rear, in this way it is possible to change heave adjustments more or less independent of roll adjustments. As an example it is possible to have a very light roll damping combined with a very high heave damping, something which is not possible with a classic suspension. The third damper can be used to only alter the damping characteristics without a third spring, but also to add a spring to alter spring rates for heave.
