WRC STX 017 aluminium lower chassis

WRC have introduced a new lower aluminium main chassis plate for the STX 017 touring car kit. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium and coming in a bright finish the chassis will increase overall stiffness for improved performance especially in very high bite conditions. Cut outs in the battery and electronics area optimise the flex of the chassis that is of a nearly symmetrical design with a mirrored motor pocket on the right hand side.

Schumacher Mi6Evo 1/10th touring car kit

Coming from Schumacher is the Mi6Evo electric touring car kit. The car utilises the latest developments from Schumacher’s international racing and engineering team such as a modified chassis plate with increased cut outs around the suspension mounts for more traction. The shorter span, reduced footprint motor mount gives increased rear chassis flex and rear traction and it allows to brace the rear top deck without connecting it to motor mount for different stiffness tuning. On top of this the motor position moved 3mm inboard to reduce roll while centre line belts make for perfect balance. Other features include a lightweight 5-spoke spool, a lightweight centre pulley, carbon fibre reinforced nylon wishbones reduce weight and increase flexibility and an optional larger spur makes for a more forward motor positioning in modified racing. The kit will hit stores in March.
