Team Associated TC28 Team Kit

Having entered the 1:28 racing scene last July with the release of the RC28, Team Associated has just announced the TC28 Team Kit.  The key feature of the 4WD belt driven TC28 is its independent front and rear suspension.  The kit also includes constant velocity driveshafts, mid-motor configuration with equal length belts, fluid filled gear differentials with height and belt tension adjustment and a front and rear anti-roll bar.  Like the RC28, it is based on a steel chassis plate to provide a low centre of gravity while the insert adjustable roll centre enables chassis roll adjustment based on the grip level.  With the TC28 Team Kit you also get white wheels and a Mako X2 body shell from category specialist body shel producer Radbody.

Xray announces surprise Rheinard signing

Just hours after he announced his depart from Awesomatix, Xray has revealed that they have acquired the services of Marc Rheinard.  The reigning ISTC World Champions made the surprise announcement via a short video clip on social media with just the text ‘Legends & World Champions join forces’.  With Xray’s loss of Bruno Coelho to Infinity having been reflected in recent Modified results, the new signing of the multiple World Champion by the Slovakian manufacturer is a major coup for the Hudys.  He joins long time team driver Alexander Hagberg, who just recently took the European 1:12 title from the German.  The signing should also allow their 1:8 World Champion David Ronnefalk to focus his attentions on offroad, his transition to touring car with Xray having proved challenging for the Swede.  For Rheinard, whose career spans three decades, joining Xray marks only the fourth Touring Car manufacturer he has represented having raced for Awesomatix, Infinity and Tamiya, his TRF days one of the most iconic partnerships of our sport.
