Following a couple of teaser images Team Bomber have fully unveiled their all-new TB-AK12 1/12th scale pan car kit. The vehicle is based on a 2.0mm 7075 aluminium chassis plate for a low centre of gravity and optimised handling in high-bite track conditions which is further supported by the use of carbon fibre front lower arms and rigid Xenon-made upper composite arms. The bearings are high-quality X9 ball races supplied by Axon and the included high-quality titanium steering and camber turnbuckles offer both a low weight and high rigidity. The floating-type servo mount ensures tweak-free servo mounting and the centre big bore shock absorber provides sufficient traction. Other features include specially coated aluminium front pivot balls, a carbon fibre solid rear axle assembly and a Xenon 76T spur gear.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Roche Rapide F1 Evo2 formula kit are several new option parts. The range includes a 3-piece titanium turnbuckle set, an 11-piece precision ball bearing kit, as well as a total of five screw sets including red all-aluminium, mixed aluminium and titanium, all-titanium as well as gold-colour steel screw sets. The alloy and titanium screw sets include T-Works’ signature UFO head screws with one of the golden screw kits also being available with UFO head fasteners.
ARC have announced the release of their new SRS Super Response Servo specially designed for the use with the ARC R12 touring car. Developed and produced in collaboration with Savöx, the steering servo supports the Super High Response protocol that is available from high-end transmitters and it provides quicker response and a wider working angle on the R12 chassis. The ARC SRS utilises a short 5cm all-black servo lead for neat and clean wiring and the unique all-aluminium case incorporates a servo mount that allows racers to do away with the standard servo mount, ensuring a super low-profile design and a lower overall centre of gravity, all while allowing to scrub 9g of weight and the attachment of the servo 8mm closer to the centreline of the chassis. As for the specifications, the brushless motor servo pulls up to 9kg-cm of torque at a speed of down to 0.07 seconds.
Coming from Creation Model and made for the Infinity IF-14-2 touring car is a new graphite front body post support. The bumper brace improves the rigidity of the bumper and body post assembly, increasing stability of the front section at high speeds. Made from lightweight and highly rigid carbon fibre, the brace’s surface is also specially embossed to achieve a stylish loog which includes the Infinity logo.
Pancar-B from Italy have released first images of their forthcoming all-new 8cbe 1/8th scale 4WD electric stock pan car kit. The car utilises a simple, lightweight, no-fuzz design that allows to go fast on the track without breaking the bank. The car was developed for the use with standard 1/8th scale electric brushless motors and speed controllers as well as two 2S standard-size LiPo battery packs. The newly-founded brand is currently also working on a GT12 1/12th scale kit and we bring you more information on both as they surface.
ARC have introduced their new 17mm bulkhead alignment block for the use with the R12 touring car. The block will help to build perfectly straight front and rear bulkhead assemblies which will eliminate unwanted drivetrain friction as it ensures perfectly aligned axles and bearings while reducing chassis tweak at the same time. The block is machined from aluminium, it comes black anodised and included in the set are two steel pins that hold the bulkhead halves in place during building.
Coming from ARC and made for the R12 touring car is a thin 1.2mm anti-roll bar that is best used as a front swaybar. The thinner wire will increase chassis rolling, increasing steering especially in lower grip conditions. The anti-roll bar is made of high-quality spring steel and it comes with laser-engraved markings for easy identification.
