TMG Speed have introduced their new Reactor Pistons for the popular PR Racing 1/10th scale buggies. These pistons have been used with great success by the likes of Neil Cragg and Lewis Jones in their Team Associated cars and they will shortly be available for PR Racing’s line of 2WD and 4WD buggies also.

Coming from PR Racing and made for the SB401 buggy is a low-profile high-performance body shell. It is made of high-quality polycarbonate and sports a low-profile design for a greatly reduced overall centre of gravity and thus improved corner speeds especially on high-bite surfaces. In addition the body’s improved aerodynamics reduce overall drag while increasing stability.
PR Racing have announce that Adam Drake will be joining their team for the upcoming 2018 season. Adam will be racing 1/10th scale electric and help with R&D on all platforms but mostly the SB401 LW 4WD buggy platform while also campaigning the company’s PRS1V3 TypeR 2WD buggy. Along with his five Roar National Championships Adam brings a ton of experience in racing, building and designing which he currently also does for Mugen Seiki Racing in the 1/8th off-road categories.

PR Racing have introduced the 2018 kits of their S1 V3 FM 2WD mid motor off-road buggies. Available as standard and further upgraded Type-R variant, the latter includes all new shock absorbers, towers, carbon chassis and a whole range of optional parts previously only available separately. The new lower shock geometry and new sleek body produce a much more stable car on high grip which changes direction quicker, and rotates through the corner smoother and at higher speed. The 2018 edition cars both include the universal type chassis which means it is easy to swap between the 3 gear laydown and the stand-up gearbox. The Type R utilises a 2.5mm carbon fibre version of the chassis which offers reduced weight and more reactive handling characteristics, while the Standard 2018 FM continues to use the alloy version.
PR Racing have introduced a new low-profile body shell for the PRS1V3 2WD buggy. With its special design the body is about 35 percent lower than the standard lid, which lowers the overall centre of gravity for improved rotation on high-speed tracks while also scrubbing weight thanks to the lightweight polycarbonate material used. With its optimised airflow the body also increases overall stability and it is a direct fit on the S1V3 FM kit.

PR Racing have introduced a new carbon fibre rear shock tower for the S1 V3 FM and MM 2WD buggies. The shock towers were developed as a result of testing and preparation for the upcoming IFMAR Offroad Worlds to be held later this year. The shock stays feature new shock mounting positions that are lower and spaced further apart to provide new tuning options for improved track handling and they are available for the FM and MM versions of the S1 V3.

PR Racing have introduced a new aluminium steering bellcrank set for the SB401 V3, SC201 and V3T kits. Machined from high-quality aluminium and coming black anodised and with silver edge details the bellcranks will greatly improve precision and steering response while adding visual impact at the same time. Included in the set are three carbon fibre steering levers to adjust the overall steering throw and feeling.

Coming from PR Racing and made for the SB401 1/10th 4WD buggy are new vertical ballstud aluminium rear uprights. The parts offer a greatly revised geometry over the standard composite hubs with an additional camber link mounting position that uses a longer camber link for a less twitchy car and smoother rotation trough the corner. Also new is an additional – higher – hinge pin location that provides increased rear traction and better bump handling. The parts weigh in at 16g a pair which is only 1g heavier than the standard composite uprights.
