Reflex Racing introduce new TC7 & TC6.2 options

Reflex Racing have new option parts for the Team Associated TC7 and TC6.2 touring cars available. First up is an alloy chassis for the TC7 that was custom designed around the latest AE Platform to maximum performance especially on the new CRC and ETS black carpets. The chassis moves the flex points away from the centre of the chassis and towards the bulkheads for more rotation, steering and stability which translates into faster lap times and a more consistent car that is also easier on tyres over a full run. The chassis is now also narrower, allowing for lower ride heights and less rubbing on the newer CRC Carpet which calls for higher ride heights. The 81mm wide chassis is cut from 7075-T6 ThyssenKrupp aluminium alloy, it includes carbon fibre battery brackets and mounting hardware.

RSD RR12V2 & T4 aluminium main chassis

Following the 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis set for the Xray X12’16, Reflex Racing also introduced a specific variant for the RR12V2 as well as an alloy chassis for the Xray T4 line of touring cars. Starting with the RR12V2 alloy chassis kit, the set includes a black anodised and strategically milled chassis that ups the weight of the car by roughly 20g which in turn can be reduced by using lightweight electronics, screws and accessories. The chassis was developed to bring the centre of gravity as low as possible and it also includes a matching, thin carbon fibre rear lower pod plate.

RSD X12’16 aluminium chassis conversion kit

RSD X12'16 aluminium chassis conversion kit

Available soon from Reflex Racing is the RSD aluminium chassis conversion kit for the Xray X12’16 1/12th scale pan car. Cut from 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised and with machined silver edge details the chassis weights roughly 80 gram so the car will be around 20 gram heavier than in stock trim but the use of lightweight electronics, screws and accessories will help to bring the car near to minimum weight again to achieve maximum performance. Include in the chassis set, that was designed to bring the car’s centre of gravity as low as possible, is also a thin lower pod plate to match the chassis’ reduced thickness. The conversion kit will become available by mid-March.

RSD Roche P12 floating servo conversion chassis

Reflex Racing have introduced the floating servo conversion chassis for the Roche P12 1/12th scale pan car. The conversion kit maintains the stock geometry of the P12, while adding optional holes to install longer Xray side links as well as Reflex Racing’s popular floating servo mount. On top of that the chassis is made from 2.5mm quasi isotropic carbon fibre, so it is more rigid than the kit version for more consistency in high-bite conditions.

Reflex Racing RR12V2 1/12th scale pan car kit

Following the recent introduction of the RSD RR12V2 conversion kit, Reflex Racing now also released information on the RR12V2 full kit. The car is based on a new chassis made of 2.3mm quasi weave carbon fibre for improved stiffness, a lower weight and a lower centre of gravity. An updated pod geometry with the pivot 2mm further forward provides more corner speed and less lift while allowing for more aggressive settings. Also new is the battery securing systems that provides tape-less transverse of inline mounting of the 1S pack. Another new feature is a revised side spring placement with optional, more in board positions to aid in a softer roll control for high bite conditions. Lastly, the new front end is Reflex Racing’s icing on the cake. A new, light weight double A-arm front end is included in the kit. This system is incorporating a suspension system that is 10 to 15g lighter than the traditional AE front ends, it is easier to adjust and versatile enough to run as a double A-arm or traditional reverse McPherson strut. The car will be offered in two trims, as full kit minus electronics, wheels, tires, servo saver and fluids and also as full conversion including RSD front end. The latter needs a donor car for diff, tubes, shock, and ball ends.

RSD RR12V2 carbon upgrade kit

Reflex Racing have introduced the RSD RR12V2 carbon upgrade kit that comprises of all new carbon parts to convert the RR12 car to the new geometry the team has been running. The kit allows the car to have a wider set up window, it generates more corner speed and is simply faster than the V1. Included with the kit come new thinner 2.3mm quasi weave carbon parts that are lighter yet stronger than the standard weave 2.5mm parts. Since the parts are thinner they also help lowering the centre of gravity. A new pod geometry with the pivot 2mm further forward provides more corner speed and less lift while allowing for more aggressive settings. The car’s battery holding system, whether in transverse of inline, has been revised to provide tape-less solutions and more secure holding of the battery. All shapes have been optimised for clearance, flex and ease of use and last but not least the side springs now have optional, more in board positions, to aid in a softer roll control for high-bite conditions.

Reflex Racing RSD touring car spring sets

Coming from Reflex Racing and made for a range of touring cars including the Xray T4 are several shock spring sets. First up is the 20mm Progressive Spring set for the Xray T4. Progressive springs generate more traction than linear springs due to the dynamic of the compression of the spring. Early in the compression, when the spring needs to be soft to provide bite, they are softer and later in the roll, they stiffen up to provide more exit and on power traction and steering. The set comprises of three different rates of Yellow 13.0-14.0 lb/in, Gold 14.0-15.0 lb/in and Silver 15.0-16.0 lb/in.

Reflex Racing RSD RR10 World GT kit

Reflex Racing now have the RR10 World GT 1/10th pan car kit available. Designed from scratch and with customer feedback Reflex Racing tried to make a World GT that has more steering and less traction roll while maintaining the versatile nature of the RSD line of cars. The car is based on a narrow chassis with a 1.5mm pocket for the battery pack, making for a super low centre of gravity while the floating servo mount does away with tweak issues associated with the off-set servo position found in pan cars. The kit is also fitted with a lot of go fast, premium goodies such as the Xenon front end, IRS diff, Team Prime shocks and an array of RSD springs and shims are included in the kit to fine-tune your car out of the box.
