Mugen MTC2 1/10th EP Touring car

Mugen Seiki have introduced the follow up to the MTC1, the company’s first entry into the EP touring car arena, the aptly named MTC2. The all new design has a number of new innovations including extra long carbon lower arms with new pivot inserts to eliminate slop and a low centre of gravity shock mounting position mounted using lightweight lower shock and anti-roll bar mount with adjustable ARB links. Following the current touring car trend, the MTC2 also features a mid motor configuration which makes it more stable and have a more balanced feeling on the track, while a new rear differential has smoother diff action and more consistent handling.

Exotek introduce new DR10 optionals

Coming from Exotek are new option parts for the Team Associated DR10 range of drag racing cars. First up is a set of aluminium rear hubs whose heavy-duty design maintains the suspension geometry setting, race after race. The updated design works as either the left or right hub and it also allows for adjusting the wheelbase as needed using the supplied spacers. The upright ball stud mounting matches the stock roll centre height and the hubs are also usable for the DB10 and B5 series kits.

Roche Rapide P10W Evo2 235mm pan car kit

Following a first teaser image, Roche have fully unveiled their forthcoming new P10W Evo2 235mm Pro10 pan car kit. The Evo2 kit features a huge list of updates to better cope with high-powered motors as well as different track conditions with the car being based on a redesigned 2.5mm high-grade carbon fibre main chassis with a new dual upper deck increasing pitch and torsional stability for a controlled ride even in very high-bite track conditions or with low-turn modified motors. Other features include a redesigned front lower bulkhead, new carbon fibre front lower arms, a new highly adjustable servo mounting plate as well as a new, adjustable carbon fibre top plate that allows for quick centre shock angle adjustment. Also included in the Evo2 kit are a DVS-V3 big bore centre shock, redesigned front and rear chassis braces, new design left and right motor mount plates as well as new aluminium axle height adjusters. The kit is rounded out by a new design low centre of gravity rear body mount. It is understood that the kit will ship this August.

Kyosho R4 Evo.2 FTT one-way unit

Kyosho have introduced their new FTT Front Torque Transfer one-way unit for the R4 Evo.2 and R4S II 200mm nitro touring car kits. The adjustable one-way axle combines the best of both worlds, the steering and acceleration performance of a one-way with the braking power or a solid front axle as the unit allows to adjust its internal resistance using silicone oils with the hardness controlling cornering and braking action. The body of the unit is machined from high-quality aluminium for improved heat dissipation while the internal aluminium and delrin spacers allow to fine-tune the one-way action using different thickness fluids. The kit will become available this August.

LCG Racing SFX wide carbon fibre top decks

LCG Racing have introduced new wide variants of their SFX conversion top decks. They feature a wider shape in the mid section, providing better response and a more direct feeling in grippier track conditions. With a decrease in flexibility, this increases corner speed and overall stability while making the car easier to drive. The wide top decks are available for the SFX converted Yokomo BD10 and Xray T4’20 and they are available now.

RC Maker 3D Pro touring car shock restrictor set

Coming from RC Maker is their new 3D Pro touring car shock restrictor set. The shock restrictors can be used for two main functions: Getting perfect weight balance on your chassis using scales and de-tweaking the car’s shock towers. The shock restrictors make balancing the chassis on the scales easier than ever. With mid motor touring cars being more reliant on weight distribution than ever, it is important to be able to get an accurate reading on the front to rear, and side to side balance of the car. These restrictors slot into low profile shock shaft, and fix the resting shock distance of the car to 7mm. This is roughly a normal ride height setting on most chassis, and turns the shock into a “turnbuckle” at ride height. This removes any impacts the spring shock collar pressure has on the reading of the weight distribution and gives the actual reading of weight on all 4 corners of the car.
