Serpent have introduced a short wheelbase chassis for the F110 SF2 formula car. It is 2.5mm shorter than the standard chassis for less front overhang which in turn results in a more stable car that has more steering. The chassis plate is machined from high-quality carbon fibre and it is available now.

Coming from Team Corally is their new range of silicone shock oils and diff syrups. Manufactured and bottled in Europe the pure silicone oils are calibrated to ensure consistency from batch to batch and they come in 60ml bottles as 100cps to 1,000cps shock and 3,000cps to 100.000cps diff fluids.
Team Corally have released a first image of their forthcoming SSX12 1/12th scale pan car kit. Newly developed from the ground up the kit features a class-standard link-type rear suspension but a new, simpler front end compared to other modern-day kits. The vehicle is currently undergoing final tests and it will become available soon. We bring you more information on the kit and a release date as soon as they surface.

Arrowmax’s recently introduced black/golden limited edition IFMAR Electric On-road World Championship car stand is now also available in a regular version, lacking the official event logo but coming fully Arrowmax-branded. Measuring 165x108x32mm the car stand is of a compact yet sturdy design with its aluminium and carbon fibre construction and its dimensions are perfect for 1/12th scale pan and 1/10th formula cars. It utilises Arrowmax’s signature honeycomb design and comes in a black and gold colour scheme.
Roche have introduced an aluminium chassis and lower motor pod plate for the Rapide P12-2016 1/12th scale kit. Both parts are machined from 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium and they come gun metal anodised and with silver chamfered edges for looks. Using the parts lowers the centre of gravity due to adding weight at the lowest possible area of the car while the increased stiffness makes for optimised on-track performance especially in high-bite track conditions.
Modify have introduced their new bullet-type 4mm and 5mm connectors. They are of a low-profile design to prevent interferences with low top decks and come pre-shaped for easy and reliable soldering. The heavy-duty four contact points design makes for improved power transfer compared to standard connectors and at 14mm length they are compatible with most tube-style battery packs.

Coming this Fall are two new kits based off of Tamiya’s popular TT-02 entry level 1/10th scale 4WD chassis. First up is the iconic Honda Civic SiR EG6 on the drift-specific TT-02D chassis. The kit includes full ball bearings, oil-filled CVA shock absorbers, an aluminium motor heat sink and a Sports Tuned brushed motor and it is rounded out by a Civic SiR replica bodyshell and mesh-type wheels with Super Drifttech tyres.
ARC have introduced the new R11W 1/10th 200mm electric touring car kit. The vehicle is based off of the 190mm R11 and features a black 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis, carbon fibre upper deck and front and rear gear differentials to provide exceptional handling characteristics with foam tyres. The 200mm kit shares most parts with the 190mm variant with the greater track width being achieved by using wide lower A-arm mounts. Included in the package are also front and rear low-profile shock towers and big bore shock absorbers, suitable for sports car bodyshells such as the Blitz TS02E and others.
