Rêve D RWD drift car shock springs

Rêve D have announced the soon release of their new shock springs specifically designed for the use with RWD drift cars. Carefully chosen materials, heat treatment, diameters and winding methods result in exceptional controllability, side bite and traction, with the design of the springs allowing to use them in a standard setting or “upside down” in order to fine-tune the car’s behaviour. The springs will become available as separate sets and also as an all-in-one combo package including a storage box.

T-Works mid-motor Tweak Terminator Ver.3

T-Works have introduced their new Tweak Terminator Ver.3 chassis tweak rod specially designed for the use with mid-motor cars. The carbon fibre tool was developed to remove tweak from touring car chassis by allowing to push down both the front and rear bulkheads simultaneously while tightening the upper bulkhead caps. The result is a straighter drivetrain assembly as thus less chassis tweak that can disturb proper car handling. The rod is made of high-quality carbon fibre, it features machined aluminium end caps and a machined hole in the middle section that makes way for the car’s spur gear.

Rebellion-RC T4’20 Crossflex aluminium chassis

RC-Carbonstore have introduced their new Rebellion-RC Crossflex aluminium chassis for the popular Xray T4 2020 mid-motor touring car. The chassis was developed for the 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 twelve 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 idea was to become able to adjust the weight-balance as well as the flex individually with every insert by using different fixing positions without the need of changing the whole chassis; with a standard chassis being always hard front/rear or soft front/rear, but not hard front/soft rear. When the brass inserts are fixed at a 90 degree angle to the driving direction they almost have no influence to the flex, but if attached using the remaining – cross-positioned – mounting points, the inserts decrease the flex. To make the system work the fixing points for the “hard” setting are 0.3mm lowered to make for a free movement at “flex” setting, and when using the “hard” setting drivers need to insert the included 0.3mm shims to be able to access the desired “hard” flex settings. The chassis is machined from high-quality aluminium, it comes black anodised for wear and looks, features a laser-engraved Rebellion-RC logo and it weighs in at 83g alone and up to 130.9g using the optional brass inserts.
