Reds Racing M3 World Touring S nitro engine

Reds Racing have released their new M3 World Touring S, a 2.1cc engine for the 1/10th 200mm Sedan class. The new engine offers the most advanced technologies to get the best performance and reliability. The WTS is of a new extra long stroke design which guarantees extreme torque and high output power for exceptional power at low to medium RPM for a greater acceleration. Another feature is the all-new 7mm front crankshaft and bearing, made on purpose to guarantee higher stiffness and better performance. Furthermore, the WTS features a stiffer crankcase and a new lightweight cooling system. The engine is also meant to be one of the lightest in its category thanks to a redesigned cooling head and due to a new combustion chamber and back-plate design. The M3 WTS is hand-tuned by Mario Rossi and comes with a silicone-filled, balanced and tuned crankshaft and before leaving the factory each engine is hand inspected and compression checked by Mario Rossi for maximised performance. On top of that there are also already broken-in engines available.

JConcepts Finnisher T5M bodyshell

JConcepts introduce the Finnisher bodyshell for the Team Associated T5M stadium truck. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the T5M geometry while smoothing out the front down force area. A front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight and like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the Finnisher body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The body includes the high performance gurney spoiler which increases rear grip and balances the handling characteristics of the aggressively styled body.

RB CXR SLS9 V2 nitro on-road engines

Following the introduction of their 2015 nitro off-road engine range French company RB now have information on two new on-road engines available. The super long stroke CXR SLS9 V2 is available in a standard and a special Ielasi Tuned version for even higher performance. Based on the 2014 range the V2 offers a 9-port design with two by-passes, the Multi Exhaust System and two additional lubrication wholes and the engines make use of a lightened and silicone paste filled 14.5mm crankshaft with 3-weight balancing. The rear bearing is a 14.5mm ceramic race while the front 8-ball type is a standard affair. The new low centre of gravity lightweight cooling head offers 10 degree angled cooling fins for improved heat dissipation and the double adjustment carburettor comes with 9mm and 8.5mm restrictors. While looking the same from the outside – despite the Ielasi Tuned engraving on the cooling head– the powered-up version of the CXR SLS9 V2 features subtle modifications to the liner and crankshaft, made by the Italian frontrunner to extract the maximum performance from the engine.

Team Durango DESC10 1/10th 4WD short course truck

Team Durango DESC10 1/10th 4WD short course truck kit

The new Team Durango DESC10 4WD short course truck kit highly differs from its unofficial predecessor DESC410 as it builds on a completely new platform that shares many parts with the all-new DEX8 1/8th electric off-road buggy. The backbone of the truck is a 3mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis onto the 3-diff drivetrain builds. A sturdy pivotball front suspension and beefy rear arms make for loads of durability as do aluminium suspension hangers with moulded composite inserts for suspension geometry adjustments. The shock towers are made from high-quality aluminium as are the threaded big bore shock absorbers. The rigid motor mount is designed for the use with 550-size and 1/8th class brushless motors while the centre differential appears to be shiftable in order to adjust the gear mesh between the pinion and the main gear. Included with the kit, that comes partly pre-built, are front and rear anti-roll bars, while the bodyshell is sold separately.
