TOP Racing Rebel 10, 10SS & Photon hybrid steering crank
TOP Racing was recently present at the All Japan Model and Hobby show in Tokyo and showed of an number of new exciting parts. Firstly was the announcement of the Rebel 10 & Rebel 10SS, which are the next in the Rebel pan car series following the earlier release of the Rebel 12. The Rebel 10 is a 1/10 World GT class car while the Rebel 10SS is a 1/10 Oval Class chassis, both are due for a December release. Also on display for the Photon was their new Alloy/Graphite Hybrid Steering Crank. Due for a release in November, this is a stronger optional replacement of the original steering crank. Not only is it more durable, it also gives more accurate steering than the original counterpart. This new alloy/graphite hybrid design simplifies the machining process and is therefore more cost effective, without sacrificing performance and strength.
