Reds Racing 2113 X-One pipe

Reds Racing introduces its all new 2113 X-One pipe for its 1:8 Offroad engines.  REDS off-road 2113 X-ONE™ Torque Pipe combines REDS 2113 Pipe and M Manifold to create this one-piece “High Power” exhaust. The new exhaust guarantees smoother power output at low RPM and higher mid range power and top speed.  Reds X-ONE™ system is an innovative and unique all-in-one pipe-manifold system. The pipe has been welded to the manifold to improve performance and fuel consumption. With this X-ONE configuration there is no need for springs or gaskets, and the one piece design creates increased reliability and improved tuning stability. ​Three versions of the same X-ONE™ pipe-manifold system are now.

Xtreme Mach1 Body Updates

Following the launch of its Mach1 190mm Touring Car body back in June, Italian company Xtreme Aerodynamics has issued an ‘important statement’ regarding new updates to the bodyshell.  The statement reads, ‘Following the release of Mach1, several test have been carried out and some room for improvement has been found, thus leading to a new version of the body that has just been released.  Changes are minimal and related only to rear part: – Removed side support of the wing: allows wing to bend sideway, miming a softer wing behaviour. – Lowered wing support (2mm): optimize flow under the wing and reduce body frontal area. These changes push in the direction of drag reduction and increased corner speed, especially for Stock class.’

Team Bomber AK12 front suspension arm support plate

Team Bomber has released this optional front suspension arm support plate for their AK12 Series 1:12 chassis. This 1.0mm plate is mounted on the upper side of the front suspension arm to alter and strengthen the carbon lower arm so the twisting of the carbon lower arm and warping during driving are suppressed and strengthened to change the handling characteristics. Depending on the track conditions and layout of the circuit, you can easily apply subtle set-up tweaks to the handling “with plates” and “without plates”.  If you insert more than 1mm of spacing between the front suspension mount and the suspension arm, use the included 3×10 screws to the arm mounting.
