3Racing Zero Cero Rear Body Plate Ver.2

3Racing has released a new version 2 of Rear Body Plate for its Zero Cero 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Made from Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer, the V2 lets you integrate the rear shock mounts directly into the body plate, so a separate rear shock tower is no longer needed. The compact design reduces component count and supports a lower centre of gravity, which helps reduce body roll and keep tyre contact consistent for better grip. It also adds a second set of rear body post mounting holes, so it fits body shells with either 100MM or 110MM spacing between the rear mounting hole centres.

Cyrul responds to criticism of latest Cerberus Racing body design

Having published news of Cerberus Racing’s new GT12 body just before boarding our flight back from Shanghai after attending Hobby Culture Festival China (HCFC) over the weekend, it has recieved a barrage of negative comments on the design leading designer & brand owner Josh Cyrul to respond with his own post on social media. The veteran America racer agrees that these bodies are ‘smashed’ but explains that it is designed to meet the rules and that a properly scale shell GT3 body would not actually fit the cars it is intended for.

Hongyu GDC announces Kwok departure as Principal Manager

Having been the face of the world class RC facility that is Hongyu GDC in Foshan, China, it has been announced that Gavin Kwok has amicable concluded his relationship with Foshan Xiangyue Sports Technology Co., Ltd., the company behind the venue. The announcement was made that Kwok has officially departed his role as Principal Manager effective October 30, 2026. Only opened in September 2025, the Hongyu GDC International Racing Center was four years in the making with Kwok at the helm and using his own international racing experience to attract international drivers to the city of Foshan. While the track was dealt a major blow when it was forced to cancel the ISTC World Championship earlier this year, it successfully opened its first full season with the hosting of the Asian Nitro Party race which proved a massive international success. With the 2nd edition of this nitro onroad race already announced for January 15-17, 2027, and set to attract an even greater international attendance, Red RC understands that Kwok’s departure does not in any way effect the racing calendar at Hongyu GDC. Following the official announcement (see below), Kwok posted on his social media, ‘Looking back on these four years of building and running the race track, it has been an unforgettable journey. I am truly grateful to everyone who has given trust, support and companionship along the way. Being able to take part in and witness the gradual growth of this project is an incredibly precious experience for me. I have received many messages of concern recently, and there have been all sorts of rumours circulating. Please refer only to official announcements. Do not believe or spread unconfirmed information. With sincere gratitude, I wish everything the very best for the future.’

Infinity IF15-2 New 2-Speed Transmission Set

Infinity has release a new 2-speed transmission set for its World Championship winning IF15-2 1:10 Nitro Touring Car. Featuring a revised spur gear mounting section, achieved through a mold modification, the newly designed 2-speed housing supports the assembly with two different-sized bearings, providing improved precision and significantly reducing play. The fixing area between the 2-speed hub and main shaft has also been reinforced by increasing the diameter to 12 mm and adding more material. Despite the increased strength, the total weight of the complete unit remains virtually unchanged, from 24.8 grams for the previous version to 25.1 grams for the new version. The internal diameter of the 2-speed housing has been reduced by 0.1 mm to improve shifting feel. The shape of the adjustment openings has also been optimised, while the shoes can be installed in either leading or trailing orientation. Adjustment openings are intentionally provided on both sides of the housing to improve rotational balance. The 2-speed housing also features a high-hardness plated surface treatment, helping to maintain a stable contact surface with the shoes over a long period of use. New shoes now feature a roller-type weight system, helping to maintain more consistent shift timing and adjustment screws have also been increased to M4 size, making the adjustment less likely to change during operation. The mold-revised spur gears are also compatible with the previous 2-speed system.
