CRC Formula 1 prototype spotted

During this week’s International Indoor Championships in Las Vegas CRC is running what appears to be a prototype Formula chassis. The car in question features a double wishbone front suspension with lower carbon fibre A-arms and adjustable upper plastic arms. The rear motor pod looks like a redesigned 1/12 scale slider pod with the chassis and rear suspension being of the now-poplar link-type design to allow the in-line mounting of the battery pack. We keep you up to date with more information as soon as the become available.

New CRC 12th foams, rims and springs

Calandra Racing Concepts have two new 1/12th scale foams, updated rims and additional side and rear springs available. Starting with the foam tyres, new are the Greene soft and Blu medium compound made from a special Japanese rubber. Used for the first time at the 2012 IFMAR World Championships in the Netherlands the new foam offers high grip and low wear and it slightly differs from the Pink/Magenta/Purple and the Black/Grey/Yellow/White family 1/12th racers have used for years. The names are borrowed from the older American Green and Blue compounds to name the new additions. The tyres come mounted to CRC’s new Flex HR38 rims. They use the same mould and design as the known 38mm High Roller rims but are made using a new more flexible material that produces increased grip. The nylon material is very durable allowing the weekly club racer to have many “board meetings” with little to no damage to the rim. The Flex rim is a running change to CRC’s line of Pro Cuts pre-mounted wheels.

Zen-Racing 1/12 rear pod

Zen-Racing have launched a new rear pod assembly for the most popular 1/12 cars on the market. The rear motor mount and suspension part is made from high-quality 2.5mm carbon fibre and aerospace-quality aluminium. It is of a full box design to keep the pod rigid and square under the extreme forces of the modern brushless motors. Existing rear pods with plastic ride height adjusters can distort under the torque from the motor, the Zen option stops this and it also incorporates a sliding ride height adjustment for the rear axle doing away with the need to remove the shaft to adjust the ground clearance. An optional carbon shim set is also available offering adjustment steps down to 0.15mm. The upgrade part is available for Associated, Yokomo, CRC, Serpent and other chassis.
