Takashima D-13 Icon2 F1 Spring Steel Chassis

With their Spring Steel Touring Car Chassis in high demand, Takashima D-13 has released a 1.2mm Spring Steel Chassis for Schumacher Icon2 1:10 Formula car.  Benefiting from success of their touring car program, Takashima D-13 has applied the same development philosophy to 1:10 F1 category.  The spring steel construction provides more progressive flex characteristics over traditional aluminium, acting as a secondary suspension to soak up track imperfections.  This yields superior mechanical rear grip and a more forgiving driving feel, particularly on low-traction surfaces.  Taking advantage of the material’s high density, the chassis achieves a thinner profile while maintaining essential weight.  By concentrating the mass at the lowest possible point, it significantly lowers the CG, enhancing high-speed cornering stability and effectively minimising traction rolls.

Reflex Racing RX28SE 102mm Conversion Kit

Reflex Racing has released this 102mm Conversion Kit for their RX28SE 1:28 competition car.  The kit includes the necessary items to create a 102mm wheel base with the extended length allowing you to mount 102mm LM style bodies.  It also allows you to run a longer car in classes like the 28SRA’s Pan Car Class.  The added length adds much more stability to the car at the expense of a slight bit of steering and rotation.  When used with Kyosho 102mm White Bodies, the clips need to be moved 2mm forward, just like with 98mm bodies.  This is different from the flat plate 102mm conversion kit, where the clips had to be moved back 2mm.
