VRC Column – Sneak Preview VRC Pro

VRC Pro is now in alpha testing state, meaning all systems and structures are being intensively tested before to start the beta test with outside users.

Dynamic shading on the 3D pit table user interface, light reflection and specularity produce a fully realistic pit table environment from where you build and set up your car or go racing. And in the background the live race track with cars on it. It’s just like being on the track.

Smokem Racing 416LP chassis plate

Smokem Racing have developed a LiPo only chassis for the Tamiya TRF416 series of touring cars. By flipping the drive belts, the LiPo is offset further from the chassis center line, while on the other side, the servo, receiver and ESC are shifted towards the center line. Two battery positions are provided so racers can choose where they want to position their LiPo pack and the result is a balanced chassis with no additional weights required. The 416LP chassis has been designed and thoroughly tested to give the best flex properties and at only 94mm wide, chassis scrub is minimized. Unnecessary cutouts were removed to deliver a design with balanced lateral flex and the result is awesome corner speed and stability. With both longitudinal and lateral battery tape slots, the Smokem Racing LP chassis accepts all LiPos, with or without humps, without additional retainers that may induce tweak.
