Italian company SRC have finally unveiled their all-new DSE 190mm touring car body shell. The EFRA #4068 homologated body features a special design for improved rear traction and stability. A flowing front end shape with hood reinforcements will provide enhanced steering response thanks to strengthening the front wheel arch section. To this adds an exclusive side panel design that adds to the overall rigidity of the body that will become available in Xlight and Super-Xlight variants as well as pre-cut for most of today’s touring cars. Supplied with the lid is a new-design 3-dams rear wing that will increase overall downforce in combination with the new-style front roof design.
Hudy have introduced their all-new pure tungsten balancing weights. Made from rare pure Tungsten material, known for its very high density and thus heavy weight, the 5g and 10g weights are a lot smaller than conventional brass or steel balance weights, allowing for easier placement and a cleaner layout. The super small weights also make for lower centre of gravity thanks to their low-profile design. The weights are available separately in 5g and 10g specification.

Coming for Kyosho’s Fazer Mk2 intermediate-level touring car chassis is an aluminium shock absorber set. Replacing the standard plastic dampers the shock set includes machined threaded body shock absorbers for improved dampening and thus better traction and easier and more precise ride height adjustment. Included with the set comes a pair of colour-coded springs. The latter are also part of an optional spring set that includes standard hardness medium as well as soft and super soft springs, allowing to adapt the chassis to lower grip tracks. The springs in this set are also usable with the standard composite shocks.
