3Racing has released a new version of their competition level 1:10 Electric Touring car platform, the Cero Ultra 2.0 which they are recommending for asphalt use. In the second generation of Cero Ultra, the main improvement is to use a shorter and narrower chassis to improve cornering efficiency. The belt length is now a shorter S3M345 x 2 to achieve a shorter chassis and more direct acceleration output. The front and rear lower wishbones have been carefully improved to more room for the anti-roll bar movement and a shorter wheelbase. The lay-down front and rear absorbers mounting make the body roll more efficient, the main chassis has a new weight distribution position and a shorty battery socket, and the diameter of the lower wishbones rolling shims has been increased to improve the durability of the chassis plate, a caster has been added to the rear upright to increase the speed of all corners, and the steering system has changed to M4 X 7 bearings To improve accuracy, the upper deck was shortened to accommodate the twist of the chassis.

Yokomo has announced a number of upcoming new parts releases for its BD12 1:10 Electric Touring Car. First up is a 2.4mm thick Graphite Bumper Support. This plate is mounted on the front bumper to strengthen the bumper. By catching crashes and other impacts with the bulkhead, it prevents damage to the front part of the main chassis. A 2.4mm Graphite Front Shock Tower Stiffner connects the lower portion of the front shock tower to increase rigidity. It increases the rigidity of the shock tower and improves the shock’s operating precision, while leaving the bulkhead surrounding it supple. Graphite Steering Block Arm L, also 2.4mm thick, feature an extended tie rod mounting position compared to the RTC standard arm to reduce toe-in change during suspension stroke. It improves turning performance especially on high grip surfaces. Also new for the car are RTC Axle Block Spacers which are inserted between the aluminium axle block and arm to raise the outer tie rod position and increase the amount of toe-in change due to suspension stroke, thereby increasing rear traction. Finally there is a Graphite Separate Battery Holder. Lightweight, split front and rear sections allow the chassis to remain flexible for torsion. Spacers are included to adjust to the battery thickness.
