Hete TC van de Cycloon van Organismen chassis Categories - Hot Bodies, Electric On Road, Cars, Products - comments closed 
HPI Japan heeft de Cycloon TC aangekondigd, de recentste versie in een lange lijn van succesvolle het reizen auto's die onder het Hete merk van Organismen worden vrijgegeven. In plaats van het zijn een volledig nieuw platform, is TC enkel een geraffineerde versie met betere prestaties, gemakkelijkere aanpassing en sterkere delen en neemt een aantal delen op die eerder als optionals in de uitrusting als norm worden vrijgegeven. De nieuwe 2.5mm de chassisplaat is van de koolstofvezel ontworpen om de onlangs vrijgegeven plastic batterijhouders te nemen, terwijl het voor hogere dek om uit de tapijtomzetting schijnt worden genomen maar van 2mm koolstofvezel gemaakt. De achter hogere plaat is ook dikke 2mm maar van materiaal FRP gemaakt. Het achtergedeelte van de auto is voorzien van een herzien balverschil terwijl de voorsporten een unidirectionele/stevige vooras die met spelden om tussen de twee opties komt te veranderen. Achterwishbones kenmerken nu geoptimaliseerde lagere schok opzettende posities en een keurige eigenschap op voor en achter antipushrods van de broodjesstaaf is dat zij nu aan de staaf vanaf de bovenkant zijn en zo hun gemakkelijk aangepaste lengte kunnen hebben. De auto schijnt ook om van bijgewerkte schoktorens worden voorzien en ik ben zeker andere eigenschappen maar dit ik kunnen van de Japanse vertaling uitwerken alle zijn.

Kyosho dNaNo FX-101 1/43rd scale Categories - Kyosho, Electric On Road, Cars, Products - comments closed 
Seen here first at the start of February, Kyosho have released full details of their new dNaNo concept on its dedicated, Japanese only, website. These 1/43rd scale cars make the company’s Mini-Z line look big, yet they are extremely detailed and are true radio controlled race cars. Available in 3 different chassis versions, with varying wheelbases and motor positions, the cars are controlled by Kyosho’s KT-18 2.4GHz radio system and are kept stable on the track, we are told, through the use of a mini built in gyro. Powered by a tiny 3.7V 130MAh LiPo cell, the car sports a rear differential and power is supplied through a micro coreless motor, originally found in mobile phones to produce the vibration, but then optimised. To enable the racer to easily compete on different tracks, each car is supplied with its own IC Tag (transponder), which you can see as in blue on the bottom of the car in the picture above. If you want one you will have to wait, but that will give you time to choose between the Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari 360 Modena, Murcielago LP640, Nissan Skyline GT-R, Porsche 962C LH and finally the Mazda 787B.

Spotted at last weekends Masters of 12 Scale held in Kerkrade in the Netherlands, and photographed by Joost Kuiper, was the new Serpent S120 1/12th scale pan car. Belonging to race organiser and Serpent development driver Markus Mobers, it was not being raced but was on display for all to see on the Sunday of the event. What can be seen on this car, which is missing the top centre shock absorber, is the single piece aluminium rear pod and the central tweak adjustment system. The lateral shock absorber, that stabilises the rear pod is not so clear in these pictures but we were told that Serpent will release more information about this car by the end of the week.

Speed Merchant Formula Pro 10 Categories - SpeedMerchant, Electric On Road, Cars, Products - comments closed
Speed Merchant have released details about their soon to be released 1/10th scale 200mm electric pan car, the Forumla Pro 10. Designed to race at National level in the comeback Pro 10 class, this new car has been can only accept 4 cells, which the designer believes gives more benefit than running with 6 cells due to the fact that it only needs to run in 5 minute long heats, not to mention the weight advantage. Essentially an oversized 1/12th scale with pivot-ball link rear suspension as well as light weight carbon fibre throughout, it definitely looks the part. Expect to see it released in the first week of March.
