Sweep EXP R3 Pro Carpet touring car rubber tyres

Coming from Sweep Racing is their new EXP R3 Pro Carpet competition touring car rubber tyre. The all-new tyre was developed in cooperation with Mibosport for the use on ETS spec carpet and as hand-out tyre for the popular Mibosport Cup series. Testing took place in Europe and Asia with the help of different level Modified and Stock drivers, and it was headed by Mibosport driver Ronald Völker. The tyres use the proven carpet 32 shore hardness rubber compound with the new R3 carcass profile offering improved steering response and forward traction. The carcass has a rounder shape for better steering emphasis and the durable compound will ensure more consistent lap times toward the end of a run. In addition the all-new pink-colour tyre insert helps with overall durability, ensuring exceptional tyre life. The tyres will become available from the second week of October.

Hiro Factory HRF10X-PB Premium Blacky formula kit

Japanese brand Hiro Factory has introduced the new HRF10X-PB Premium Blacky 1/10th formula kit. The car builds on a premium hard carbon fibre main chassis plate and it features the newly developed C-ADJ-S camber and caster system up front that allows to adjust both parameters without the need to change parts, making it swift, easy and reliable. The aluminium servo mount doubles as a chassis stiffener brace and two aluminium triangles enable the racer to adjust the front-centre chassis stiffness. The steering arm design allows to adjust the steering Ackermann to vary the amount of steering available and an O-ring retained battery mount ensures the battery can be swapped without the need for additional tools. Other features include a high-capacity centre shock absorber, all-aluminium precision tube dampers as well as an aluminium ADJ roll plate to adjust overall chassis roll. The rear of the car houses the carbon fibre rear axle, and the ball differential with centre lock type left wheel hub and lightweight right wheel hub. A motor cooling fan mount and height adjustable wing mount round out the package. The car is usable with rubber and foam tyres and it can be built in narrow or wide track specification.

MonacoRC 30mm mid motor Air Conveyor

Coming from MonacoRC and made for the latest generation of mid motor electric touring cars is the 30mm Air Conveyor. The new fan duct completes MonacoRC’s line of these important accessories and it joins the 40mm mid motor variant to cover all needs. The electronic layouts of mid motor cars, that swap the position of the motor and speed controller compared to standard “rear motor” touring cars, call for differently designed cooling fan ducts with MonacoRC’s mid motor air conveyor offering cut outs for the fan’s power wires, resulting in cleaner wiring, better looks and improved functionality. The air conveyor is made of 3-D-printed high-quality material and it is usable with standard 30mm fan units.

ARC R11F FWD touring car kit

ARC have announced the soon release of their forthcoming new R11F front-wheel driven 1/10th scale touring car kit. A first for the company, the car builds on the proven R11 2019 4WD touring car, sharing over 95 percent of the parts which makes parts storage easy when running both classes. The car utilises a 2.25mm carbon fibre main chassis combined with a 2.0mm upper deck, while an optional 1.6mm carbon or an aluminium upper deck allow to fine-tune the chassis’ torsional flex characteristics. The upper decks of the R11F and the R11 2019 are similar, further helping to minimise parts needed to run both cars alongside. On the transmission side of things the R11F features a belt-driven drivetrain with an oil-filled gear differential while the battery compartment allows for five different configurations such as side and cross alignment standard packs, side or cross alignment shorty batteries and also an inline/centre placement of shorty battery packs. The kit is shipping now and should hit stores very soon.
