Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their Wing Plate TC set, a mounting kit for 1/10th touring car wings. Designed to improve wing fitment and mounting security, the lower buttons fit snuggly into the body’s wing stays and, like the upper counter plates, they are machined from aircraft-grade aluminium, coming anodised in a range of colours including black, orange, red, dark blue and light blue. The design with an 8mm hole pattern is ideal for all Protoform and Bittydesign touring car bodies and it also fits most other brands. The sets are rounded out by the needed mounting hardware.
Serpent have issued first images of some soon to be released optional parts for the 977 1/8th on-road car. First up is an upgrade kit for the rear suspension that moves the suspension pins closer together while longer outer pivot balls make for an overall longer rear A-arm, resulting in improved traction, higher corner speeds and a more stable car under braking. Also new is a low-friction belt pulley set that will improve acceleration and overall drivetrain efficiency. The new parts will hit the stores shortly.
Yokomo Europe have introduced new silver brass -1mm suspension mounts for the Yokomo BD7 touring car. The parts are machined from heavy silver brass material, making each about 10g heavier than the respective alloy counterparts for added weight at one of the lowest points of the chassis. In addition to allowing weight bias fine-tuning and gaining overall weight, the parts are also 1mm lower that the standard alloy suspension hangers, making running lower suspension pin settings possible; something the Yokomo team drivers have been using with great success at select races. Available is a full range of split and 1-piece front and rear mounts.
