WRP IV Pro 10 235mm Racing Car

Wolff Racing Products (WRP) has sent us details of its WRP IV Pro 10 235mm race chassis. The niche Austrian manufacturer started out in 2020 in the workshop of founder Roman Wolff and the development and the production of the first prototype cars made for Pro 10 championship racing. Some drivers raced the early cars in Austrian and Swiss races and the success of Wolff’s concept was quickly recognised. The latest version of the WRP family is the WRP IV. The high quality of the parts, the precision and the best suspension geometry are the main strengths of the WRP Cars. WRP is well known in the European Pro 10 scene having already had strong race results proving the strengths of the car. Several packages with or without dampers, springs, servo, driveshaft and other options are available.

Dim3nsion by JP Fuel Tank Extension Kit

New from Dim3nsion by JP is their Fuel Tank Extension Kit which is designed to make your refuelling stop much easier, as the new tanks are designed to be extremely flat. They designed the extension kit so that the cover extends exactly over the edge of the roof. To ensure it can withstand tough pit stops, we made this product from the highest quality PA 12 carbon fibre. So that it fits well into the overall look of our cars, they opted to chose their popular carbon look. It is easily attached using an M3 screw that connects the tank cap to the extension from below. In case you need to go faster during a pit stop, they made the underside rough to prevent it from slipping. Suitable for the new tanks from Capricorn, ARC, and a large Japanese manufacturer.

Xray X1 Ball Differential Set

Xray has released a complete ball differential set for their X1 1:10 Formula chassis. It is a direct replacement for the gear differential with no other extra parts needed and no extra adjustments. Using the ball differential makes the car more stable and easier to drive, especially in very low grip conditions such as asphalt or low grip carpet. The ball diff increases on-power steering which is needed on almost all types of tracks.

Infinity IF18-3 Option Parts

Infinity has introduced another batch of new optional parts they have developed for their World Championship winning IF18-3 1:8 Onroad chassis. The chassis gets two new carbon chassis stiffeners. The front stiffener mounts on the front part of the main chassis to improve steering response and increase rigidity. The rear stiffener mounts on the rear portion of the main chassis allows for fine tuning by increasing rigidity. A new longer rear universal swing shaft is for use with widened rear track width or high grip conditions with the shaft 56mm compared to the 54mm version. Also new is a 3x5x14mm Post Set that connects the brake mount L/R to the rear lower bulk increasing the rigidity of the rear area and improving rear grip. Another new part for that area of the car is new carbon main shaft stiffener that increases the rigidity of the rear area by connecting the L/R brake mounts. Finally on the list of option parts, Infinity has a range of new 0.8 module spur 1st gears designed for high precision, high strength, and high durability. Gear specifications have been redesigned to provide uniform backlash for all tooth number combinations. The tooth width of the 2nd gear spur gear has been increased by approximately 12% to achieve even higher strength and durability. These cannot be used in combination with conventional 0.8 module spur gears.

Smokem ARC A10 top decks

Smokem Racing has released a number of top decks for the ARC A10 and A10’23 1:10 Electric Touring Car. The RS-X 1-piece top deck is a slight departure from their normal RS design (which ARC had adopted with the release of the A10) and has slightly stiffer but longer flex than factory top deck, yet is not as stiff as the split top deck setups. The RS-X is more responsive under certain conditions yet still offers a smooth feel, which was preferred by some of our drivers. Included in the latest release are the RS Split Top Decks that feature a slight taper and a thin cutout for a more linear flex. The Rear Split Top Deck features Smokem’s trademark recessed V-shaped brace for slightly more flex than the stock split top deck for improved corner speed. While for the front, there is a standard design with a long thin cutout for a softer, smoother steering feel. To compliment that there is a version with a recessed W-shaped brace delivering improved steering response. Finally the RS X-Low Rear Shock Tower is designed for racers that prefer traditional vertical body mounting. This shock tower offers a stiffer mounting platform than the factory horizontal body post brace for superior rear down force compared to the factory design.

Xray X4 Rubber 3D Bumper with Inner “H” Profile

New from Xray for its X4 1:10 Electric Touring Car platform is the Rubber 3D printed bumper with Inner “H” Profile. Exceptionally light as well as durable, the “H” profile allows for the cells of the bumper to be made super thin yet still lightweight and carry the desired compression characteristics. The 3D printed material doesn’t fold or break in crashes, and allows more airflow under the body, with the high aerodynamic efficiency improving front traction. It fits all X4 kits.
