The Josh Cyrul penned chassis has plenty of nice features, including super low centre of gravity, a system for balancing and weighting the car when using LiPo packs and diff pulleys that utilize 3-point triangular diff ball slots. The car will be available in and around June.

Team Titan Blitz Lola R09 Semi-Paint Line

Team Titan have released a semi painted version of their popular Blitz Lola R09 1/8th scale body. Available with a nice flame design on the front of the car in green/blue or yellow/orange, the rear of the body and driver is left clear to allow you express your artistic side, however I’m sure most will end up getting a single colour. The Lola 09 has high rear body mounts, providing lots of rear downforce and they have also added 2 small wings in front of each wheel arch for better steering reaction and downforce. The semi painted versions are only available in 0.9mm thickness.
