Gizmo GZ1 2017 electric touring car kit

Gizmo Racing USA have introduced the 2017 variant of the GZ1 electric touring car. The latest variant has been refined to an all-new level, making it more adjustable, more durable and easier to drive. The GZ1 2017 still features the patented 2-main-gear drivetrain system, which makes is possible to have a 100 percent centred drivetrain and it features a new chassis and redesigned side rails, all cut from premium 2.0mm quasi isotropic carbon fibre. The 2017 version chassis has a new shape that is narrower at the sides and especially at the droop screw locations, which allows for a more natural roll characteristic with less chassis drag. Also new are the patented one-piece vertically mounted top decks for increased stiffness. These new pieces now integrate the option to run two more posts in between the two vertical rails to adjust the car’s overall stiffness and change the flex points.

Team EA Motorsports Energy Absorbent TC bumpers

Team EA Motorsports have introduced their Energy Absorbent touring car front bumpers. Offering a 6mm extended design the foam bumpers do away with the need to add material in order to better support the bodyshells and keeping them from dragging on the racing surface. In case a less forward position is desired, the specially designed foam is very easy to sand down to whatever distance is needed. The highly supportive are also very light, preserving excellent steering response compared to heavier parts. The bumper is currently available in three different configurations, solid, pre-cut with inserts, and cut-out, with the solid bumper giving the least amount of steering and the cut-out one being the most corner-hungry, and it was designed to fit the Xray T4 but it also is usable on Awesomatix, Team Associated TC7 and Gizmo cars with some minor trimming.

Featuring a revolutionary 2 spur gear design, it allows the motor to be mounted centrally in the centre line of the chassis for perfect weight balance. For the newly develop drivetrain, the kit relies on a standard 2-belt design with spool in the front and gear differential in the rear. The drivetrain also sits exactly in the centre line of the chassis for equal left-to-right flex characteristics, as is the floating servo mount and the centre mounted weight, which comes as standard in the kit. Front double-joints driveshaft comes standard as well.
