BoostRC A800 Spring Steel Chassis ‘Black Edition’

New Italian start-up BoostRC has introduced a new ‘Black Edition’ Spring Steel Chassis for the popular Awesomatix A800R | RR 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Recommended for use when racing on indoor carpet and asphalt with medium to high grip racing conditions, the chassis was developed through extensive CAD optimisation and on-track testing. Machined from high-grade spring steel, delivering a driving feel that is both smoother and more controlled compared to the standard carbon fibre version, thanks to the material’s elastic properties, the spring steel chassis provides more linear and predictable handling. It also increases traction without unwanted snap reactions and gives greater consistency through rapid direction changes. Its refined flex characteristics help the car maintain a lower centre of gravity and improved overall weight balance, allowing drivers to confidently carry more speed through technical corner sequences. Visually, the chassis features a distinctive black finish and a layout that gives the A800R platform an aggressive, high-end appearance. The chassis is supplied with custom Torx T10 screws, provided in quantities exceeding the required amount to ensure spares are available.

RTRC RTA V3 1:28 Chassis Set

With a lot of buzz being generated around 1:28 racing in 2025, the new car releases continue to roll out this time with France’s RTRC announcing their upcoming kit release, the RTA V3. The car already has a winning pedigree with Thomas Robin taking the car to victory in Pan Open at the recent PN Racing World Cup in Colorado. With the RTA the centre of gravity has been significantly reworked, as well as the weight distribution. The chassis is now machined in a solid block, ensuring minimal assembly tolerances and increased rigidity. A new LiPo orientation means the chassis corners much flatter for improved cornering speed. The centrally mounted servo provides more precise left-right balance, and the Ackermann geometry has been designed symmetrically, even with links of different lengths. The car gets a new front end which is 4 mm wider, making it both more stable and more efficient. The new-generation motor mount features a lower center of gravity thanks to the motor being lowered by several millimetres. New-generation side links offer numerous advantages including allowing for perfect chassis alignment adjustment and helping reduce play in the rear end thanks to the use of ball cups. A precise hydraulic system is included with the kit, providing exceptional damping on multiple axes. The differential is the result of a completely innovative design, unique on the market. It features a thrust bearing and two ball bearings for maximum smoothness, even when tightened. The differential is supplied with a titanium shaft.
