Team Zombie has introduced a range of 1.2mm PVD-Coated Spring Steel Chassis for 1:10 Electric Touring Cars. Available for the Mugen Seiki MTC3, Awesomatix A800R, Axon TC10/4, Xray X4, and RC Maker SP1, with included 12.9 grade steel screw set, each chassis is manufactured from ultra-high-strength hardened spring steel.

New from Awesomatix for its A800FXR FWD Touring Car is this 1.5mm Top Deck Long. Machined from high-quality 1.5mm carbon fibre, the reduced thickness adds overall chassis flex, which translates into significantly more mid-corner rotation, especially in slow, tight corners. This makes it the go-to choice for technical tracks where the car tends to understeer and where extra rotation comes in handy. For larger, faster tracks, it pairs well with stiffer chassis options such as the kit aluminium chassis. Awesomatix say the new 1.5mm Top Deck is not suitable for A800FX and A800FX Evo.
