Changing to the CNC Schelle steering rack will remove some slop and add durability to the assembly without making the car feel on-edge. Available in black or blue anodise finish, the rack fits both B7 series and B6.4, T6.4, SC6.4 series.

It also integrates with the new one-piece aluminium servo/steering mount and battery holder systems.

The car also gets an all-new one-piece servo mount moves the servo 5mm forward for more traction. A Single steering arm mount reduces weight and works together with the new battery holder system to move the battery position further forward for maximum traction. The one-piece design eliminates servo movement in hard crashes and the ultra-low profile design reduces weight and lowers the CG as much as possible. A brand new steering arm redesigned for weight savings with new geometry creates clearance to move the motor mount and servo mount 5mm forward for improved traction & improved in-corner steering. The X4F’25 is 25g lighter than X4F’24 with strategic lightening of the rear suspension to move the weight bias further forward.

RSRC MP10 carbon fibre parts

RSRC, the brand of multiple European 1:8 Buggy Champion and factory Kyosho driver Reno Savoya, has released two new carbon fibre parts for the MP10 platform. First are carbon fibre arms stiffeners which are designed as a “sandwich panel” system that leaves the internal reinforcements of the suspension untouched, with a 1mm plate on top and a 1mm plate underneath. This will greatly improve the wishbone strength during big hits but also improves the precision of the buggy’s handling. They fit both the MP10 nitro and MP10e electric buggy. Second is a carbon fibre chassis brace for MP10e/MP10Te. Unique and very good looking, the chassis stiffener will increase the car reactiveness but also hold the cables for a neat environment.
