MRO Racing, the company behind the radical ultra low profile design Inspire4 1:10 4WD buggy project, has given an update on the project unveil it will test its latest iteration of the project. With well respected car designer Gerd Strenge joining the project earlier this year, in its update MRO Racing together with some body on photos of the buggy posted, ”Hello everyone, After not hearing from us for so long, it’s time for an update. We’ve spent several months thinking about how we could change a few things on the car and whether the changes would deliver what we hope for. Today is the day. Today we’re going to test the car on a track in Germany and see how it all works. We hope for the best. Our thoughts were that we could save even more weight, bring the weight even more into the centre and make the car a little stiffer. So we thought about how to do this and put it into practice. We will report back after the test. We are just as excited as you are.’

Mikimodel F1 Universal Interchangeable Front Wings

New from Mikimodel comes these 3D printed Universal Interchangeable Front Wings for all F1 models. After a major effort in developing the most appropriate and suitable materials, the Italian company have developed new front wings with the most difficult thing being to find the most suitable material that was resistant, but not rigid enough to break under impact, but at the same time rigid enough not to lose its aerodynamic characteristics. The wings consist of a fixed part, the basis for all the others, and a replaceable part, the actual wing. So far, they have developed two models, the ‘Alfa’ and the ‘BETA’. Simply unscrew one wing, without even removing the bodywork, and you’re done. The two wings are different from each other to provide different aerodynamic characteristics and adapt as best as possible to different tracks.
