Speedtech RC CK25 aluminium chassis set

Speedtech RC, the brand of German 1/12th scale wizard Markus Mobers, is now offering a red anodised aluminium chassis and lower pod plate set for the CRC CK25. Developed and tested by Speedtech RC team drivers, the prototype chassis has already achieved some racing pedigree by winning the Masters of Foam race. The chassis set is considered to be a hot ticket for all high-traction environments – as they are expected for the upcoming 1/12th scale EFRA Euros in Sittard. The alloy chassis set is a direct replacement and available now.

CRC Carpet Knife Twenty5 Japan Edition

Japanese CRC distributors Kimihiko Yano have introduced a special Japan Edition of the CRC Carpet Knife Twenty5 1/12th scale pan car. The CK25J kit is available with a carbon or aluminium chassis, it comes with a matching lower pod plate, a new carbon fibre sliding servo mount plate as well as the light weight carbon fibre X Brace. The car will use a longer wheelbase than the standard US version that allows to run long Xray side links while the servo mount plate utilises KO Propo or Sanwa servos. In addition the distance between the centre pivot and the rear axle was shortened to improve rear traction which is further helped by the new X Brace. Features such as the LCG sliding motor mount, the new-design front bumper and the balanced double-clamping left wheel hub were taken over from the popular US version.

CRC Carpet Knife Twenty5 1/12th scale pan car

Calandra Racing Concepts have introduced their new Carpet Knife Twenty5 1/12th scale on-road car. The 25th anniversary model is the latest in the line of CRC’s regional, national and world championship winning Carpet Knife series kits and it is building on the heritage of the CRC Xti-WC. The CK25 takes all the race winning features and adds changes and improvements to adapt to current racing conditions. The new car now features CRC’s LCG Slider rear pod that allows to make infinite ride height adjustment without moulded plastic inserts or pucks. The LCG pod allows very small tyres and lowers the centre of gravity almost 20 percent over the earlier pod.

CRC World GT-R body mounts & Formula wings

CRC have introduced adjustable aluminium body mounts for World GT-R cars as well as new formula wings. Starting with the body mounts, the parts feature a stiff delrin inner piece that slides and locks with a set screw. They also use the “flapper” rotating body rest piece for less body damage and a perfect fit. The aluminium base and machined delrin post make for a stiff rigid mount perfect for the scale World GT-R bodies.

CRC Xti-WC LCG rear pod

CRC have introduced the low centre of gravity rear pod for Xti-based 1/12th scale cars. The LCG motor pod was designed for modern racing with tiny overall tyre diameters as even with 38mm bare rims, 4mm of ride height are achievable. The new rear pod plates are made from super strong 7075-T6 aircraft quality aluminium, anodised in CRC’s signature blood red with silver double machining. The ride height adjustments are done using a slider design that does away with inserts, spacers, and washers. On top of this the centre of gravity on this pod system has been lowered greatly as the overall height is lower, the bulk of the weight is near the bottom and the upper motor screw has been lowered. The sliders are smaller and the upper plate now uses two screws instead of three. The set includes a new motor and side plate, the sliders and a rear carbon X-brace.

CRC double clamping left 1/12th hub & red hardware

CRC have introduced a new double clamping left wheel hub for Xti-based 1/12th scale cars as well as red anodised hardware. Starting with the wheel hub, its design makes it both lightweight and balanced, something that is crucial for a proper handling 1/12th scale car. Machined from aluminium and coming red anodised the part fits all Xti-based CRC 1/12th scale cars and it will also fit any 1/12th pan car with the proper spacing on the left side bulkhead.

Kimihiko-Yano.net Xti-WC aluminium chassis

Japanese CRC distributors Kimihiko-Yano.net have introduced an aluminium chassis for the CRC Xti-WC 1/12th scale pan car. Machined from high-quality aluminium and coming black anodised and with silver chamfered edges the chassis is about 20g heavier than the standard carbon fibre chassis for an overall lower centre of gravity. This and the increased stiffness will result in improved performance especially on high-bite surfaces with the chassis having already proved its capabilities by taking the TQ and win at this year’s All Japan Championships in the hands of Hayato Ishioka.
