Serpent SRX8e Gen4 1:8 eBuggy

New from Serpent comes their latest 1:8 eBuggy with the release of the GEN4 SRX8-E. At the core of the GEN4 is an all-new Factory Lightweight Competition Chassis, precision machined from premium 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with a durable hard-anodized coating for exceptional strength and long-term wear resistance. Designed from the ground up with versatility in mind, the new chassis is far more than a lightweight component – it is the foundation of an adaptable competition platform. Strategic CNC machining removes unnecessary material while preserving the rigidity required for precise suspension performance, resulting in a chassis that delivers competition-ready performance straight from the box. Unlike optional lightweight upgrades, this premium competition chassis is included as standard equipment with every SRX8-E GEN4 kit. The innovative design also provides exceptional flexibility for racers and future development. The chassis is compatible with both traditional block battery layouts and modern saddle battery configurations, giving drivers the freedom to tailor the vehicle to their preferred setup or changing racing conditions.

Another reigning World Champ for Singapore Nitro GP as Coelho confirmed

The Singapore International Nitro GP will celebrate its 20th Anniversary in style with the announcement of its 3rd reigning World Champion as Bruno Coelho is confirmed for the October 10-11 event. The 3-time back to back IFMAR 1:10 Electric Touring Car World Champion made his SINGP last year, returning to his roots to race nitro onroad, the category in which the Portuguese star learned his trade before his break through moment at the 2014 ISTC Worlds in the USA. With Mugen Seiki’s 1:8 Onroad World Champion Shoki Takahata and Infinity’s newly crowned 1:10 Nitro Touring Car World Champion Naoto Matsukura already confirmed, Coelho might just need a few extra laps to settle into the newly resurfaced Radio Control Modellers’ Club’s track as he will come straight from having just raced for a week at the IFMAR 1:8 Nitro Buggy World Championship in Texas which gets underway in just a few days.

JConcepts BK Design 13mm Shock Pistons

A project from Brian Kimwald himself, BK Design Shock Pistons are now available as an option for 13mm shocks through JConcepts. The BK piston, machined in low friction Delrin material has opened a can of goodness racers have only heard about, until now. The prototype slotted piston, machined by BK using equipment purchased exclusively for the master of all RC trades, was for sure a late-night project. During 2016, finding grip with newly released mid-motor vehicles was a vicious hunt for low-traction dirt conditions. As track conditions advanced, finding grip wasn’t necessarily as high a priority, hence the delay in the BK piston introduction. However, as the hands of time move forward, vehicles are once again looking for an edge in grip handling due to their advanced corning abilities. The all-precision machined item has the makings of the latest winner from the JConcepts Speed Laboratory and can be tuned by the user. The latest BK pistons arrive with plenty of pre-drilled combinations. Test drivers have reported increased vehicle grip while utilising the exclusive design. The BK channel in the piston increases the volume of oil in the shock body acting as another chamber in the shock body to add consistency to the mechanism. During compression and rebound, a lot of disturbance is created inside the working area of the shock. The action of a traditional piston is very top to bottom with pass-through only allowed through dedicated holes and around the perimeter due to blow-by. With this design, the piston is passing fluid through 2 separate channeled sections while the entire disturbance area rests in oil which helps compartmentalise all activity.
