Following a first teaser image Protoform have officially revealed the F26 body shell for 1/10th formula pan cars. The design is focusing on all-out performance, high downforce and easy fitment and it takes inspiration from one of the most radical and progressive designs that full-scale open-wheel racing has ever seen. A wide, channeled nose provides more front-end grip, balanced by side winglets that plant the rear of your car. Towards the back of the body, a rear deck area featuring a spur gear cover directs airflow efficiently to the rear wing. The area surrounding the rear pod has ample clearance for batteries, side tubes and motor wires, making the F26 incredibly easy to mount. Included with this body is a lightweight nylon driver helmet for an added touch of scale realism. The decal sheet includes steering wheel and seatbelt graphics as well as helmet visors and Protoform logos in a wide variety of colours. This body is pulled in PF’s lightweight, high-quality polycarbonate and it fits most of today’s formula chassis.
Coming from Xpress is their new aluminium and graphite 1/10th touring car stand. It features an upper carbon fibre plate with milled out holes to take four shock absorbers during building, setup and maintenance while the aluminium side rails in a red and black 2-tone finish make for a cool appearance. Anti-slip padding prevents the chassis from sliding around and becoming scratched. The car stand comes as kit, requires some assembly and is available now.
Coming from Zen Racing and made for the RXGT12 pan car is the rear droop spring kit. The part replaces part number ZENC152 and the use of the fixed droop set screw. By replacing the droop screw with a spring the car is better balanced over bumps and offers an even better transition of weight entering a corner.
Infinity has released a new optional 1.6mm top deck for its IF14 electric touring car. Made from high quality USA-produced carbon material, it creates more chassis flex when compared to the kit standard 2.0mm top deck, leading to increased traction and greater initial steering response. The 1.6mm top deck offers the best results when combined with the IF14’s optional aluminium flex main chassis.
