JConcepts T6.1 & SC6.1 protective sheets

JConcepts have added to their line of chassis protective sheets, with the introduction versions for the Associated T6.1 and SC6.1. The sticker is made of durable material and comes pre-cut, fitting the chassis bottom like a glove. Using the protective sheet will reduce wear and tear when running on highly abrasive surface while making for a slick surface to decrease friction between chassis and dirt surfaces. Each set includes two decals and additional rear skids that can be replaced once worn.

Infinity IF14 Titanium & Aluminium screw set


Infinity has released a weight saving 85 piece titanium and aluminium screw set for their IF14 Electric Touring Car. Weighing in at around 19g, the set is 50% lighter than the kit’s standard steel screws. The titanium screws included in the set are for the lower chassis plate where strength is most important with the aluminium screws intended for use where low centre of gravity and the lightest possible weight is advantageous. In addition, the aluminium screws optimise the chassis balance and flexibility. The screw set is offered in two colour options with the aluminium screws available in black or red.

Bittydesign LS3 GT12 bodyshell

Fresh from Bittydesign comes a brand new bodyshell for the 1/12 scale GT12 category called the LS3. Featuring an instantly recognisable look, based on a famous car manufacturer, it has been tested for several months with performance to match the realistic aesthetic. The design has been adapted to meet the specs of the GT12 class, the front splitter as well the side skirts have been moved many times to find the perfect height and compromise between air efficiency and realism. Tests on different tracks demonstrate very fast corner entry that remains stable through the steering range while the rear end is very stable thanks to the big wing that make the model particularly easy to drive. Universal, it fit all the 1/12 GT12 chassis on the market, but can also fit a 1/12 pan-car chassis. Produced in a lightweight version, with a thickness of 0,75mm, the body comes with a complete set of screws, nuts and large plastic washers to fix the rear wing as well as a decal sheet and windows mask.
