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.

Team Associated 12R5 1/12th scale Categories - Team Associated, Electric On Road, Cars, Products - comments closed 
Last week during our Toy Fair coverage we brought you more information, including close up shots, of the new 12R5 1/12th scale from Team Associated. The US based company have today released complete information on the new car along with a features list and photos. The 12R5 Factory Team is the latest evolutionary step in Associated’s over twenty-five years of 1:12 scale racing history. The designers in Area 51 built the 12R5 on a 2.5mm woven carbon fiber chassis that utilizes a pivot-ball link rear suspension that allows for independent adjustments for chassis roll, bump and alignment. Having the ability to make these chassis adjustments independently gives the 12R5 greater potential to get the best possible handling from the car and the track surface.
