OfficinaRC PFTE Chassis Skin Frictionless & Ultra Thin Roll

OfficinaRC has released a range of PFTE CSF (Chassis Skin Frictionless) chassis protectors & PFTE Ultra Thin Roll of tape. Always at the forefront of providing innovative solutions for rc enthusiasts they are proud to present the ultimate solution to the common problems encountered by racers. During use on carpet, dirt from the tires and additives tend to accumulate on the chassis with this buildup making the model increasingly clumsy lap after lap, compromising performance and driving experience. The new PFTE line is specifically designed to address this issue. Thanks to the innovative material used and the precise shape suitable for the frames of the most popular models, PFTE minimises the accumulation of dirt on the frame. This means you can enjoy smoother and more consistent driving, lap after lap. The PFTE line is available for the following models: Xray X4 2024, Xray X4 2023, Awesomatix A800R, and Awesomatix A12. For those who have models where pre-cut protection isn’t available, OfficinaRC also offer a convenient 3cm wide roll that can be used to protect the frames, allowing for custom applications to suit your needs.

OfficinaRC ‘Smart Body Tuck – Click Ball Connect’

OfficinaRC has released their new ‘Smart Body Tuck – Click Ball Connect’ body stiffener solution. In recent years, body stiffeners have become an almost essential accessory for those who want to use lightweight car bodies. These stiffeners, thanks to their reduced weight, allow ultralight bodies to maintain their aerodynamic shape while driving. OfficinaRC chose to call it “Smart” because it solves one of the most common issues associated with bodies featuring a Body Tuck: space. It is often challenging to stack these bodies. With the use of a carbon fibre rod with two aluminium balls at each end, attaching and removing the stiffeners, whether for stacking bodies or observing their performance on the track with or without stiffeners, will be a breeze. The two aluminium ball joints, made from black anodised aluminium, fit perfectly into the appendages. The appendages, 3D-printed using a resin mixture, ensure impeccable details and excellent resistance to removal and insertion. Each stiffener comes with numbered appendages (1 and 2) that allow you to choose which side to leave exposed for detachment. The Smart Body Tuck is incredibly lightweight, weighing only 1.45 grams per pair, and it comes with ultra-thin pre-cut 3M VHB adhesive for maximum adhesion. It fits on all touring cars, both for side stiffeners and rear wheel arches, and it is compatible with FWD bodies.

OfficinaRC Titanium Cap & Button Head screws

OfficinaRC had added two new products to their extensive range of high quality screws. SC2X6 M2x6 Titanium Cap Head Screw and the SB25X8 M2.5×8 Titanium Button Head Screw. The titanium used in these screws is of exceptional quality, making them practically indestructible. Additionally, these screws are 42% lighter than the standard ones included in the kit. The SC2X6 M2x6 Titanium Cap Head Screws, supplied in a set of four, are designed to replace the original Awesomatix screws in crucial areas such as dampers and hubs, where strong and precise fastening is essential. Moreover, they remove significant weight that can be redistributed to optimise the setup. The SB25X8 M2.5×8 Titanium Button Head Screws are designed to replace the original Awesomatix screws used in the suspension arms, specifically at the model’s most extreme point. The reduction in weight theoretically translates into improved agility. Just like all OfficinaRC products, these screws not only guarantee excellence in terms of quality but also give your model a unique look.

OfficinaRC introduce Aero-B aero bumpers

Best known for their high precision screws, OfficinaRC has introduced the Aero-B range of aero bumpers for electric touring car. The Aero-Bumper project was born with the idea of not leaving unexplored the solution of using airflow to increase performance on scale models. It is no secret that in recent years aerodynamics has perhaps been the aspect that has most influenced motorsport in general. From this consideration, Aero-B was born – Bumpers designed to channel air onto the front end and increase steering control at medium and high speeds. In addition to the aerodynamic aspect, a lot of work has been done in the choice of materials to create it. In fact, Aero-B is created using 3D printing with MSLA resin printing technology using a combination of ABS+TPU techno-polymers that give it good resilience with a lightweight. As always for OfficinaRC products, the design of these products makes the model’s look even more appealing. The Aero-B bumpers are available for Awesomatix’ A800R (7.3g), A800MMX (6.7g) and A800FX (6.7g) and the Xray X4 and X4F (6.2g). This product is aimed at those who are looking for performance in detail, not just pure resistance.

OfficinaRC ST112 Centering Screw

New from high precision screw brand OfficinaRC is the ST112 Centering Screw for Awesomatix. Made of certified quality solid titanium from Italy, it replaces the standard iron screws in the kit. These special screws have a circular surface at the base of the screw cone, which allows for centring of the piece due to the arrangement of the parts in which it is screwed. Not only do these screws make the model more beautiful and precious, but the titanium specifications also help to lighten the new A800R. Some technical choices have, in fact, made it heavier than the previous version. The new screws are already available in packs of four and as a Full Titanium Bottom screw kit. The “OfficinaRC Titanium SFS + Centering Lower Full Kit for Awesomatix A800R (41)” replaces the standard iron screws with OfficinaRC screws made from the best solid titanium in Italy. This kit replaces all screws used to fasten various parts to the chassis, including the special Centering Screw. In addition to providing an attractive look to the model thanks to the technical specifications of the material, this kit reduces the weight of the screws by approximately 30% compared to the originals.

OfficinaRC Smart Gluer Tool

OfficinaRC has released this Smart Gluer Tool for the 1:10 Onroad racer which is designed as a device that allows you to glue the shoulder of the tyre perfectly in the simplest way possible. Small in size and made from a solid aluminium block, the Smart Gluer Tool is made completely in Italy. Its exclusive design despite its small size allows it to accommodate a comfortable retractable support in the case which can be used to support the glue nozzle and allow perfect administration on the shoulder. The smart Gluer Tool is battery powered (not included) which allows it to be transported in the hold even for air travel. The use is very simple, place the rubber in the hexagonal adapter in the centre of the Smart Gluer Tool and tighten the rubber using a knob screw. Once powered on the rubber will start to rotate at the right speed to be able to apply the glue. To be even more precise you can use the “Glue Holder” which is housed in the case and which can be positioned using a screw in order to have greater precision in depositing the glue. The Smart Gluer Tool is supplied in a semi-rigid bag made exclusively by MonacoRC which contains a shaped foam to accommodate the device.
