The RC Racer TT-02F Front Wheel Drive Conversion Kit

Well known Tamiya website The RC Racer has realised a dream of combining their love of Tamiya and having an accessible entry into the FWD 1:10 Touring Car class with the creation of this conversion kit for the hugely popular TT02.  The kit transforms the popular entry level Tamiya into a club spec front wheel drive chassis and takes the unique concept of making the rear of the conventional chassis the front.  This provides the car with the front weight bias that is essential for good traction in the popular Frontie class.  The concersation is availablr as a free to download 3D print file.  In total, there are just three new parts in the conversion – Servo Plate, Front Shock Tower (One for the Standard kit, and one for the TYPE-S chassis), and a Bumper (optional).

Infinity IF14 Speciale 1.6mm Soft One-Piece Top Deck

Infinity has introduced this a new 1.6 mm “soft” one-piece top deck for its IF14 Speciale Electric Touring Car which is designed to further expand chassis torsion adjustability.  This option part has been developed to provide drivers with a wider setup window, allowing more precise adaptation to varying track conditions and driving styles.  The reduced torsional stiffness helps improve overall traction, particularly on low-grip surfaces or in conditions where increased stability is required.  The new top deck offers an effective solution for drivers looking to maximise the versatility of the IF14 Speciale while maintaining a high level of performance and consistency. The deck features an integrated access hole for pinion gear mounting screws to improve ease of maintenance and is compatible with pinion gears up to 49 teeth (64-pitch) and 36 teeth (48-pitch).

Schumacher has unveiled its latest competition electric touring car announcing their new Mi10 platform.  A car that won this year’s iconic TITC in the hands of Michal Orlowski, it is based on an all new chassis design, developed to provide maximum performance across all track conditions.  Now available in a special 1.2mm spring steel material for lower centre of gravity and increased stability.  The new profile also offers improved and more consistent flex control and therefore a predictable car capable of great lap times.  The Mi10 also gets an updated transmission housings and shock mounts to further improve the centre of gravity by allowing for a new inboard shock design, whilst maintaining the proven suspension geometry on the successful Mi9.  Furthermore, the improved polar moment of inertia provides more rotation and improved flexibility and adjustment solutions for greater performance.  High diff positions are now included as kit spec.

Ronald Volker talks FlySky

We have followed Ronald Volker’s career for quite some time, first meeting him in person at the conclusion of the inaugural ETS season at Andernach, Germany, in 2008 when he raced for Hot Bodies and pushed Atsushi Hara the win.  Over the years we have tried to get the 2016 World Champion to ‘put pen to paper’ and give Red RC an insight into his racing.  While we kind of missed the boat at a time when Ronald was just a driver, during his Yokomo days he literally did no work on the cars, now his duties are far wider.  Not just racing for Mugen Seiki and being his own mechanic but also managing the Japanese manufacturer’s touring car race team.  A long time Sanwa user, Ronald would be one of the first major touring car drivers to join FlySky as a sponsored driver and with the Chinese manufacturer just after unveiling their new premium Noble Mix transmitter at Hobby Expo China, he has sent us this first attempt at a column in which he gives his experience with the radio since making the switch.  Take it away Ronald –  ‘Since joining Flysky and running the Noble Pro Series of Radios for around 2.5 years, I am still amazed of the quality and functions.  I visited Flysky and its office in late 2023 and could witness their dedication and motivation to become better and better and to be clearly seen as the top radio manufacturer.  Most importantly, I’ve had zero failures or issues wherever I used it in the World.  Everything is just simple and easy to use and manage – and there is even more to explore, the more you are willing to spend time with for.

Niotek PTFE treated Spring Steel TC Chassis

Having just announced a partnership with Monaco RC, Chinese manufacturer Niotek has released a new generation of high-performance Spring Steel Chassis with integrated PTFE treatment.  Each chassis is made from 1.2 mm spring steel, a thickness chosen to deliver the optimal weight and help position mass at the lowest point of the car, improving weight distribution and overall vehicle handling.  A defining feature of this new line is its dual surface treatment, the upper side featuring a technical burnished finish, while the lower side integrates an anti-stick PTFE treatment, engineered to prevent dirt, rubber buildup, oils, and additive residue from adhering to the chassis surface.  It is the first chassis on the market to combine the performance of a spring steel chassis not only with a black finish, but with an integrated treatment capable of delivering a real and measurable advantage on track.  The PTFE anti-stick treatment keeps the underside of the chassis cleaner and smoother throughout the entire run, preventing track dirt and residue from slowing the car down and affecting performance consistency.  This approach also eliminates the need for additional PTFE protective films, a solution that is becoming increasingly common even among top drivers.  To complete the package, the new line also features special dedicated low-head screws, specifically developed for this chassis in order to ensure maximum technical consistency and a solution designed entirely around performance.  The line is currently available in dedicated versions for Mugen, Awesomatix, and Infinity Touring Cars.
