Vortex Racing MP1 RX-10SR mid pulley conversion kit

Spanish company Vortex Racing has announced the soon release of their MP1 mid pulley conversion kit for the Destiny RX-10SR 4WD touring car kit. Using the conversion will provide a car that is very easy to drive, that is more consistent, and that carries more speed through the corner, all while offering equal traction front and rear which is helpful especially when running modified motors. The designs focused on the overall flex of the symmetrical chassis and top deck, giving multiple options for different track conditions. The main chassis also accepts both standard and shorty-sized packs only by moving the battery mounts. The conversion utilises a small one-side mono-block motor mount with separate pulley shaft to make it lightweight while allowing to keep the motor close to the centre line. Also, in case a pulley bearing fails and damages the shaft, there is no need to replace the hole motor mount. In addition the servo mount was designed to provide options for weight balancing the car by moving the servo back/forth and left/right. The front and rear chassis stiffeners also allow control the overall chassis flex. The conversion kit is available for pre-order now by emailing Vortex Racing at info@vortex-racing.net.

Destiny RX-10FF cooling fan mount & body stiffener

Available now from Destiny and made for the RX10-FF front-wheel driver touring car are an aluminium cooling fan mount and a carbon fibre rear body post stiffener. Starting with the motor fan mount, the part is machined from aluminium and it is of a vented design, allowing cooling air to escape for improved cooling efficiency while adding visual impact. The dark anodised mount with machined silver edge details attaches to the front bumper mount and it is usable with standard 30mm fan units. Also new is a carbon fibre body post stiffener that braces the rear body posts for improved stability and thus optimised aerodynamics. The machined carbon fiber brace is a direct fit.

Destiny introduce new RX-10SR optionals

Made for the RX-10SR and RX-10S electric touring cars are several new optionals from Destiny. First up is the V2 aluminium battery bracket set for the SR and S variants. The set attaches directly to the chassis, doing away with the need to use fibre-reinforced tape and thus ensuring tweak-free battery mounting as the multi-piece battery locators and retainers only slightly touch the battery case. The set is made up using grey anodised aluminium and machined carbon fibre parts.
