1up Racing UltraLite Front Bumpers

Randy Caster’s 1up Racing has as part of its UltraLite product range added UltraLite Front Bumpers for the Associated TC8, Awesomatix A800RR, Axon TC10/4, Mugen MTC3, Schumacher Mi9 XRAY X4 ’26 and Yokomo MS 2.0. The bumpers are engineered for modern 1:10 touring car racing, combining exceptional durability with extremely low weight to preserve steering response and front-end feel. Manufactured in the USA by Alera3D from premium European polymers, the UltraLite’s advanced internal geometry resists folding at high speed and provides consistent support for today’s low, aerodynamic bodies — even in heavy racing conditions. Smooth, rounded top and bottom edges reduce the chance of snagging on curbs, track features, or bodywork, while a subtly tapered leading edge allows the bumper to conform cleanly to common touring car body shapes for a precise, race-ready fit. The leading edge is finished with integrated 1up Racing logos, giving the bumper a clean, professional appearance that’s instantly recognisable at the track. More UltraLite Front Bumper fitments will be added soon.

IFMAR, the World governing body of RC racing, has published the Stage 1 report for the 2026 1:10 Nitro Touring Car World Championship which will be hosted by Club Automodellistico 5 Colli a decade after the iconic track staged the previous European hosting of the race. The 11th running of the championships, it will take place from September 4th to 12th in the medieval town of Gubbio in central Italy and given the nations unofficial title as ‘the world capital of nitro onroad racing’ it is expected to attract a large and competitive entry. In 2016 it was Dominc Greiner who became World Champion with a flawless drive ahead of then Serpent team-mate Alessio Mazzeo, who gave the local crowd plenty to cheer about, with then reigning 1:8 World Champion Simon Kurzbuch completing the podium for Shepherd just ahead of Bruno Coelho. Since then the track has hosted the 2022 IFMAR ISTC World Championship, Coelho taking the win on that occasion, with the club highly regarded for its strong organisation and presentation of races. The previous two 1:10 Nitro Touring Car World Championships where staged in Thailand, the 2024 race held at Huge RC in Bangkok after original host Costa Rica hit issues surrounding noise. Jilles Groskamp would take a hugely popular victory at the former ISTC World Champion Surikarn Chaidajsuriya owned track, to become only the second driver to win the biggest prize in both Electric and Nitro Touring Car.

Takashima D-13 120° 12.9 Grade Carbon Steel M3 TORX screws

Takashima D-13 has released 120 Degree 12.9 Grade Carbon Steel M3 TORX screws designed to address screw loosening caused by the high flex characteristics of a 1.2mm spring steel chassis. The M3 Torx screws deliver a more secure and durable fastening solution with the multi-contact interface ensuring superior engagement under continuous chassis flex and vibration, effectively reducing preload loss. Compared to traditional hex hardware, the Torx design allows for higher applied torque, enabling stronger tightening force while significantly minimising the risk of stripping. With more even load distribution, it also enhances durability of both screws and tools, maintaining consistent performance even under frequent assembly and disassembly.

MXLR Slow-Mo Damping Grease

MXLR, the brand of reigning 1:12 Spec World Champion Max Machler, has introduced a new range of damping grease called Slow-Mo. The grease’s super smooth and ultra stable viscosity is formulated to give no fade or separation when used on KingPin front ends of 1:12 PanCars, Pro10 or F1. Offered in 10K, 15K, 20K, 25K and 30K colour code options, Slow-Mo grease went through a lot of testing and development to reach a formula with the best consistency, correct stickiness and range between the different available hardness levels. MXLR focused a lot to find the best micro-adhesion that the grease stays in place to provide consistent damping over the full travel range. Thicker grease is used to slow down steering response and overall easier handling while thinner grease gives a more aggressive handling with more response. Slow-Mo Damping Grease comes in a clear 15 gram container which keeps the grease clean and in perfect condition during storage in your RC bags.
