ARC R8.X Aero Bumper

ARC has released a new Aero bumper designed for their R8.X 1:8 Onroad series of nitro and electric power cars.  The new Aero bumper surface is increased by 25% and can cover the front lower end more than old one with the main difference being the front edge extends 15.3mm further.  This helps the bodyshell touch the bumper more forward and increase the steering response.  Pre-marked with different thicknesses, this allows the user to cut the bumper and make more air go through the holes, more bumper hole cuts can increase steering more.  The new Aero bumper is produced from the same material as the lightweight bumper and with a thinner shape it is 2g lighter than the old one.

ARC A10-25 1:10 Onroad Electric Touring Car

ARC has unveiled their latest 1:10 Electric Touring Car with the release of the new A10-25.  When the A10-23 was launched in 2023, detailed changes were made to boost its performance over the A10.  Striving to further improve the A10 platform, ARC has been busy testing and developing new parts over the past 16 months to further increase performance and have incorporated all these learnings to deliver the new A10-25.  Despite looking similar to the A10-23, the key improvements on the new A10-25 are design changes to suspension geometry, lower arms, top & bottom bulkheads and motor mount.  The main chassis is made from 2.25mm high quality carbon fibre plate, the ship shape chassis provides well balanced handling at all kind of outdoor tracks.  The new car gets completely new lower arms, the new ones all 2mm longer compare with A10-23, and the shock mounting position also move 3mm closer to centre.  The sum of these design changes maximises corner speed of the A10-25 over a wider range of conditions while significantly increasing drivability.
