Furthermore, the new carb features a new double grub screw joint link for more reliable servo link fitment. Reds Racing also listened to customer requests and so the Scuderia Gen2 will become available in a red or black cooling head design, allowing to grab a version that best matches with the body shell colours.

Bruno RC CA activator spray

The new Bruno CA activator spray is a cyanoacrylate accelerator spray for the use with all common cyanoacrylate-based super glues. The accelerator greatly reduces the curing time of thick, thin and super thin glues, making it ideal when glueing rubber on-road and off-road tyres. After gluing the tyres a small layer of CA activator is sprayed on the whole wheel or it can be used for an indirect technique by spraying a small amount of CA kicker into a cup and putting the cup over the tyre – the latter will reduce the build-up of white residue when having used too much glue. The CA activator spray is available in 150ml spray cans.

MD Racing MDT-FF FWD touring car – Coming soon

MD Racing from Spain have released first images of their forthcoming new MDT-FF front-wheel drive touring car kit. The vehicle builds on a 2.2mm carbon fibre chassis and a vertical top deck design that allows to adjust the overall torsional flex in a very wide range, ensuring the car can be adapted to basically every track condition. The ACS active camber and MCS multi caster system allow to setup the front suspension to be compatible to basically any tyre and driving style with the lower suspension arms offering stiffness adjustments to further increase the setup possibilities. Other features will include a floating steering system, a bi-directional motor mount system for weight bias adjustments as well as a widely adjustable battery mount that helps to fine-tune the car’s weight balance. The MDT-FF makes use of about 80 percent of the parts that make up the MDT-15 touring and MD Mini 10 chassis, minimising spare parts hassle. MD Racing have yet to announced a release date.

RC Maker A800MMX SlimFlex top deck set

RC Maker have introduced their new SlimFlex top deck set for the A800MMX and MMXA. The MMX/MMXA top deck features two separate short top decks, drastically reducing the leverage on the carbon. This means the top decks need to be narrower and thinner than normal to achieve similar flex. Also the flex of the top decks front and rear is entirely symmetrical, so in order to achieve the optimum flex point, the car needs different flex settings front and rear to achieve optimum balance, which is to shift the flex point forward of centre. RC Maker’s SlimFlex top deck has this built in. The designers have optimised the profile of the top deck such that with the same ST019 flex setting, the flex point is shifted forward to provide the forward bias flex point that was achieved in their MMCX top deck.
