T-Works BD7-2016 Tweak Terminator blocks

Coming from T-Works are the Tweak Terminator positioning blocks especially made for the Yokomo BD7-2016 touring car. The 2016 edition of Yokomo’s successful tourer sports very low profile shock towers which let the spur gear protrude above the shock towers, making the use of anti-tweak rods impossible in most cases. To overcome this problem T-Works have introduced the Tweak Terminator blocks that sit snuggly on top of the shock towers and between the left and right bulkhead halves to ensure a taller platform for the tweak rods, clearing the spur gear. The blocks are machined from aluminium, they come black anodised and laser-etched for easy identification.

Bittydesign tease new 190mm touring car bodyshell

Italian company Bittydesign are currently teasing a new 190mm electric touring car bodyshell. The rough sketch leaves room for interpretation whether the body will mimic a full scale vehicle or if it will be modelled solely after the global body spec rules, but a second drawing, issued shortly after, shows that the body in question will sport some real “Italian” lines especially round the grille and headlight section. We bring you more information on the subject as soon as they become available.

Team Titan Blitz GT2 1/8th scale GT bodyshell

Team Titan have introduced the new Blitz GT2 body shell for 1/8th GT chassis using a wheelbase between 323mm to 328mm. The GT2 body is designed to provide more steering than the previous GT shell, utilising a redesigned rear boot lid that increases air flow to the wing for more stability without losing top end speed from excess drag. The rear of the body features three wing support towers, with included large diameter plastic wing screws, to ensure a lightweight yet durable wing mounting. The body comes clear, with window mask, wing mounting hardware, sticker sheet and two wings to help tailor the required down force.

Reflex Racing introduce new TC7 & TC6.2 options

Reflex Racing have new option parts for the Team Associated TC7 and TC6.2 touring cars available. First up is an alloy chassis for the TC7 that was custom designed around the latest AE Platform to maximum performance especially on the new CRC and ETS black carpets. The chassis moves the flex points away from the centre of the chassis and towards the bulkheads for more rotation, steering and stability which translates into faster lap times and a more consistent car that is also easier on tyres over a full run. The chassis is now also narrower, allowing for lower ride heights and less rubbing on the newer CRC Carpet which calls for higher ride heights. The 81mm wide chassis is cut from 7075-T6 ThyssenKrupp aluminium alloy, it includes carbon fibre battery brackets and mounting hardware.

Starting with the chassis, it is cut from high-quality carbon fibre and it sports a total of four cut-outs, front and back of the battery and electronics compartment, to make for more torsional flex than a plain chassis plate. The added flexibility will add traction and drivability in very low grip conditions or when running hard spec tyres.
