Muchmore Flex Spring G8 touring car shock springs

Muchmore in cooperation with X-Gear introduce the new Flex Spring G8 1/10th electric touring car springs. They offer a “standard” length of 25mm and an oversize diameter of 13.5mm while being available in five different rates of C2.4 up to C2.8 to cover the needs of both asphalt and carpet racing. Developed and tested with World Champions such as Marc Rheinard, Jilles Groskamp and Naoto Matsukura the springs make for improved corner speed and a more linear feel on all touring cars that use 24mm to 25mm shocks. For easy identification the titanium colour springs are colour coded.

TamiyaRaybrigNSXConceptGT

Tamiya announce the release of the Raybrig NSX Concept-GT kit on the TB-04 chassis. The kit is based on a shaft-driven chassis, the differentials inside the gearboxes are newly designed as they utilize a sealed gear differential system whereby the internal gears movement is controlled by different viscosity differential fluids. The double-wishbone suspension system makes use of the same short reversible type that has been used on the TB-03, TA-05 Version II, TA-06 and the TRF416 and 417 World Championship machines. The TB-04 also incorporates the IFS inboard front suspension whereby the front shocks are positioned horizontally and low to the chassis, so that low profile sports car body shapes can be accurately reproduced without losing any realistic scale appearance. Included in the kit is a clear NSX Concept-GT shell with full decal sheet.
