Reflex Racing RSD TC7.1 PCS carbon fibre chassis kit

Reflex Racing’s recently introduced PCS system for the Team Associated TC7.1 is now also available as a combo kit including a suitable carbon fibre chassis. Included, besides the Pitch Control System, is a 2.1mm quasi isotropic carbon fibre chassis that was designed to work with the RSD Pitch Control System. It includes two additional motor mount holes to secure the motor mount in different ways and adjust the flex characteristic of the car in the rear end. It also utilises two countersink holes in order to mount the Yokomo BD8 active rear steering rods to the chassis which is a popular modification by TC7.1 drivers these days. Included in the kit are the chassis, alloy motor and servo mount, carbon fibre servo mounting plate, RSD 2.0mm or 1.5mm top deck, battery stock screws and mounting hardware. Besides the full kit the chassis is also available separately.

Reflex Racing RSD TC7.1 pitch control system

Reflex Racing have introduced the pitch control system for the Team Associated TC7.1 touring car. It is designed to increase fore and aft chassis rigidity while maintaining the same side to side flex on the chassis by tying the steering servo mount with the motor mount via a centre tie rod. The result is more forward bite and a more precise handling. Both the motor and servo mount are cut from black anodised 7075-T6 aluminium and they sport silver edge details for looks with the motor mount utilising a lowered layshaft position by 1.5mm in order to lower the gyroscopic forces of the spur gear and layshaft for quicker direction changes. The servo mount has a third screw on the carbon fibre upper plate for better securing and precision of the servo mounting and integrated screw holes in the motor and servo mounts allow the use of screws for centre battery stops. Additional lower motor mount securing screw positions make for more flex tuning options when used with the forthcoming optional RSD chassis and an increased motor adjustment range allows the use with smaller pinion and Spur combinations.

Reflex Racing RSD TC7.1 aluminium flex chassis

Reflex Racing’s all-new RSD TC7-1 flex chassis for the Team Associated TC7.1 has been optimised to provide better flex for a broader range of adjustment. Designed to be used for asphalt and carpet the main plate is cut from genuine Thyssen Krupp 7075-T6 aluminium and it provides an easier to drive car in high-grip and hot temperature asphalt racing conditions while also increasing rotation on high-grip carpet tracks for more corner speed and quicker lap times. Included in the kit are carbon fibre battery locators which replace the original ones.

Reflex Racing YRX12 alloy chassis & TC7 hard bumper

Coming from Reflex Racing are an aluminium main chassis and lower pod plate kit for the Yokomo YRX12 as well as a hard wide bumper and bumper brace kit for the Team Associated TC7.1. Starting with the Yokomo parts, the chassis and lower pod plate were designed for racing on high-bite CRC black carpet and they will increase stability and enhance traction under high-bite conditions. Both parts are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium, they come black anodised and with machined silver edge details.

Reflex Racing RR12T2 conversion & geometry update kit

Reflex Racing have introduced the new RR12T2 conversion kit for the RR12V2 and the Team Associated 12R5.2 as well as an geometry update set for the RR12V2. Starting with the conversion, it will take the RR12V2 to new RR12T2 specifications and it includes a 7075-T6 aluminium chassis, 2mm quasi weave lower pod plate, a new rear motor mount brace as well as revise geometry motor pod and pod sliders compatible with a motor fan. Also included is a revised geometry shock mount, new stronger rear droop plate, symmetrical servo mount a well as a new 7075-T6 unimount with silver chamfered edges and a left side axle spacer. The kit will also work with the Team Associated 12R5.2 and it is available now.

Reflex Racing RX4-16 chassis & T4 shock towers

Coming from Reflex Racing and made for the Xray T4 touring car are the RX4-16 quasi carbon fibre chassis and 4mm carbon fibre shock towers. Starting with the chassis plate, the RSD RX4-16 was developed for the Xray T4 and it is made from RSD’s own quasi isotropic 2.0mm carbon fibre for more rigidity, translating into increased response, grip and a lower centre of gravity over the stock unit. The shape profiles for the chassis have been developed over the past year with a focus to provide a more consistent car feel and less tyre overheating over a run. The design moves the flex to the bulkhead areas which results in a car that rotates faster and harder all while maintaining a higher level of grip. Additionally the chassis has been made completely symmetrical so that the left to right flex of the car can be equalised as much as possible.

RSD T4 hardened spool outdrives & 30mm fan mount

Reflex Racing have introduced hardened SKD-11 tool steel blade-less spool cups for the Xray T4 and a universal fan mount for the Xray T4 and Yokomo BD7-2016. Starting with the spool cups, the parts are machined from tool-grade SKD-11 steel, usually used to cut carbon steel and stainless steel, so these cups are made to last while being smooth and super-tough. On top of this the cups look pretty trick too and they come in packs of two.

RSD RX12 2017 aluminium chassis conversion kit

Reflex Racing have introduced the all-new RX12 2017 aluminium chassis conversion kit for Xray’s X12 1/12th scale pan car. Made to maximise the performance of the ’14, ’15 or ’16 specific car to match the higher grip conditions of today’s carpet racing, the kit is designed around a transverse-specific 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis and 2.0mm quasi-isotropic carbon fibre lower pod, which has been designed to lower the CG of the car to the max, by using thinner material and slightly heavier hard-anodised 7075-T6 Thyssen Krupp aluminium alloy for the main plate. The kit gives the option of a revised, rearward centre shock position, allowing for quicker steering response and reduced body roll, or the traditional Xray X12 shock placement. Additionally, the conversion also includes a revised motor position that shifts the motor 2mm to the right for better side to side pod balance and the wheelbase has been reduced to 200mm for better entry and mid corner steering. Lastly, in order to move the shock further back, a revised servo mount plate is included in the kit to take advantage of the revised geometry by moving back the front mounting position as well. The chassis comes hard-anodised in black with silver chamfered edges for the premium look people dig these days.
