Mugen MTC1 performance conversion kit

After a year of testing and racing, Mugen Seiki has released first information about their new performance conversion kit for the MTCC1 electric touring car. All of the new parts were used at the European Reedy Race of Champions, where all three prototype MTC1 ended up in the top 10 of the modified class. The prototype MTC1 was able to log some of the fastest lap times of the entire event, highlighting the capabilities of the new parts. Testing with the prototype MTC1 on asphalt has also shown great results. Most testing was been done by pro drivers, but we also did testing with hobby customers and the testing displayed great results for drivers of all levels.

Icon RC TC7.2 aluminium chassis

Italian company Icon RC has announced their first competition chassis for the new Team Associated TC7.2 electric touring car.

In addition the chassis is 13 percent lighter than the original aluminium chassis while the Icon-exclusive shape serves the purpose of reducing chassis scrub under braking and acceleration.

HB Racing D418 slipper clutch set

Coming very soon from HB Racing is a slipper clutch set for the D418 1/10th scale 4WD buggy. The set was designed to replace the standard centre differential with a slipper clutch, a setup that was best used on high to very high bite surfaces, helping to absorb drivetrain impacts when landing jumps, which improves the reliability and life of the drivetrain. It can also be used on low traction surfaces to tune wheel spin when accelerating for better corner exit speeds and on-power steering. The dual pad slipper comes including 70T 48 pitch spur gear, bearings and all needed hardware, making it a direct replacement for the centre gear diff.
