Destiny RX-10SR 2.0 4WD electric touring car kit

Destiny have officially unveiled their new RX-10SR 2.0 4WD electric touring car kit. The car makes use of a redesigned chassis, top deck and motor mount with a new layout shifting the motor further towards the front while retaining a somewhat rear positioned layshaft and main gear. The result of the updated weight balance are better steering response and cornering speeds. Also new for the 2.0 is an updated battery position and mount that allows to let the battery sit at an angle, further optimising the car’s overall balance. Other new features include ultra low profile shock absorbers with hard-coated aluminium shock bodies, updated front and rear carbon fibre shock towers to make use of the shorter shock absorbers as well as redesigned 7075 aluminium upper bulkhead covers with updated camber link positions. Also part of the package are high-grade suspension parts made by Xenon Racing and also front double joint spring steel driveshafts for chatter-free steering action. The kit comes including a 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis and it will hit stores very soon with an aluminium chassis variant also being on the horizon.

Bezerk T4’20 long arm chassis & front bumper brace

Bezerk have released first option parts for the all-new Xray T4 2020 touring car in the form of a long-arm-only carbon fibre chassis and a carbon fibre front bumper mount. Starting with the chassis, the designers felt that having the option for long and short arms can make the chassis a bit compromised in the strength department especially for the club racer. That is why the option to running the short arms was dropped and a few other holes for future parts were added. The ’19 front window brace holes have been added back, as well as a couple of extra holes towards the rear for the upcoming chassis braces that allow the use of forthcoming optionals.

RC Maker brass floating battery mounts & battery weight

Coming from RC Maker are new brass optional parts such as floating battery mounts for the Awesomatix A800, Yokomo BD9 and Xray T4 as well as a 33g LCG battery weight plate. Starting with the floating battery mounts, reducing external factors on chassis flex has always been RC Maker’s mission. Chassis flex is one of the most important and sensitive tuning options today, and thats why the company strongly believes it must take all measures to reduce the impact that the electronics may have on chassis flex. The battery is roughly 300g, with a fully flat base contacting the chassis. This, even though it may be loose on the car, will have a detrimental impact on chassis flex. RC Maker’s new brass battery holders float the battery off the deck, and drastically reduce the impact the battery has on the flex of the chassis. The Awesomatix specific mount attaches to all of the Awesomatix model battery mounts, both factory and aftermarket. The Awesomatix mount is also usable on the Xray T4 2017 to 2020 models using optional, non-plastic battery mounts. The Yokomo variant installs directly to both standard plastic, and optional aluminium Yokomo brand battery mounts.
