AKA Double Down 1/8th buggy tyre

AKA’s 2016 IFMAR World Championship winning Double Down tyre will soon become available for the public. Seen for the first time during last week’s worlds and designed to fit between the Impact and the Zipp in the AKA tyre line the tyre is best used when having a slightly dusty track and when better wear characteristics are needed. The pin size and spacing has been designed to give more room for dust to clear the tread pattern yet still have the pin density across the carcass to give it great wear characteristics. The Double Down will be available in standard soft and super soft compound as well as long wear medium and super soft variants including red inserts or as pre-mounts on white or yellow disc wheels.

Bittydesign tease new Formula bodyshell

Italian company Bittydesign have released first teaser images of their forthcoming, yet unnamed, new Formula bodyshell. With the cockpit and air intake section appearing to be unchanged compared to the current Type-6C body, the nose section above the front wing seems to be of a more angled and contoured design. The side pod and rear shape details remains hidden so far meaning formula class fans have to wait for the official presentation, scheduled for the 18th of October, for full details and images of Bittydesign’s latest on-road bodyshell.

RC-Cox RX-10S titanium, alloy & golden screw kits

RC-Cox have introduced three new screw sets for the Destiny RX-10S touring car kit. First up is a 90-piece set of 64-grade titanium and black anodised 7075 aluminium fasteners. The durable titanium screws are mainly used in the lower parts of the chassis while the black alloy fasteners are used for the upper parts of the car. Also new is a 89-piece all-aluminium black screw kit for even more weight saving compared to the mixed titanium and alloy one while the third set, containing 90 gold-plated steel screw, is for looks only as it does not give any weight savings.

Serpent SRX2 optional A-arms & MH wing mounts

Serpent have introduced a range of new A-arms for the SRX2 buggy. First up are new hard-compound front arms. Almost flex-free yet very durable the arms are best used in very high-grip conditions such as carpet, astro turf and prepped clay. Next up are updated rear arms for the SRX2 and also the SRX4. The new design allows to run the shock absorbers both in the front and the rear of the arm. The wishbones are available as standard and hard variant as well as longer variant for improved track width and the use on lower grip track, again available as standard and hard compound variant. The long wishbones need to be run with the optional longer rear driveshafts. Last but not least come the new shorter MH type SRX2 wing mounts that are usable with setups that utilise rear dampers that are mounted in front of the rear A-arm.

Kyosho MT-4WD Psycho Kruiser VE 1/8th monster truck

Kyosho have introduced the MT-4WD Psycho Kruiser VE 1/8th scale ReadySet monster truck. The vehicles is based on a low-profile 4WD 3-differential chassis comparable to the popular Inferno truggy and it is equipped with a 1500kv Team Orion Neon 7 brushless motor and a 6S LiPo-compatible brushless controller. A shock-resistant, hardened battery case protects the LiPo battery while big bore threaded aluminium shock absorbers, aluminium shock towers and front and rear anti-roll bars keep the truck on track despite the extreme power it is able to develop. The included Syncro KT-201 2.4GHz radio system offers a fail-safe function for the unlikely event of signal loss and the included KS-203 steering servo was taken over from the 1/7th scale Scorpion XXL to ensure steering authority when the going gets tough. The ready-to-run truck is rounded out by an aerodynamic bodyshell and grippy tyres on multi-spoke rims.
