WRC Racing have introduced two new option parts for the NTX 1/10th nitro touring car in the form of carbon fibre steering block arms and carbon fibre front roll centre shims. Starting with the steering block arms, the parts are machined from high-quality carbon fibre and replace the standard aluminium parts of the NTX 1.1. Also new are 0.5mm carbon fibre roll centre shims. They fit under the car’s front suspension blocks and lower the roll centre which can be beneficial on high bite to very high bite tracks.

Italian company Reds Racing have introduced their new WRX Corsa Lunga 3.5cc nitro off-road engine. The long stroke extreme torque power plant was developed for medium to high grip tracks and it offers an extra long stroke design, five scavenger ports and a single exhaust port cylinder sleeve to deliver a 20,000 RPM range of usable torque while offering exceptional mileage. The engine is equipped with a DLC-coated crankshaft and backplate for up to 3-times the lifespan of conventional steel crankshafts and a new cooling system allows the engine to perform at its best even in very hot ambient temperatures. Other features include the proven HCX carburettor, and the engine comes tuned and assembled using hand-inspected parts and following a compression check.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Mugen MTC1 electric touring car kit are twin-type spring spool outdrives and a titanium hinge pin set. Staring with the outdrives, they are machined from high-quality spring steel for exceptional durability and it is understood that they feature a twin-type design, meaning they are usable with both C-blade or “pin-only” driveshafts to create different on-power characteristics. The parts are a direct replacement and they come including hardware. Also new is a set of 64-grade titanium hinge pins for the MTC1. The shafts replace the standard steel items for lighter ones.
Following a first teaser image Mugen have revealed first images and information on the forthcoming MBX8 nitro off-road buggy. Successor of the World and European Championship winning MBX7 platform, the MBX8 chassis features a new design that improves traction and stability in bumpy conditions and on the exit of corners. The steering post are also keyed into the chassis for easier maintenance.
