Roche body height adjuster & TRF417 ARB mount

Roche have introduced two new items for touring car, the first is this set of aluminium body height adjuster, the idea for which came from factory driver Elliott Harper. The adjuster makes it easier to adjust the height of the body shell, from 0-5mm. There is a 1mm o-ring inside the adjuster so that it will not change height during use. Three colours are available, blue, purple & titanium, to suit all cars with a 6mm body post. Also new for the Tamiya TRF417 is an aluminum anti-roll bar mount. CNC-machined from 6061 T6 aluminium, the roll-bar is centered by a 4mm rod stopper and the tension on the roll bar is adjusted by the 3mm set screw on both sides of the holder. With perfect alignment and a harder material than the original plastic material mounts, the roll bar will always function freely.

Roche RC Rapide F103/F104 conversion kit

Roche RC has released the Rapide, a F103/F104 conversion kit. The wheel base is based on the F104 as 270mm, with a selectable width of 187mm (F104) and 200mm (F103). With a newly designed motor mount set, the width between the left & right mount is wider than the Tamiya original by 5mm meaning the main drive shaft bearing is closer to the wheel adaptor. At the back there is a simple design with adjustable “U Plate” rear suspension and there are different thickness “U Plate” to setup for different track condition. A narrow main chassis design makes it more stable with faster corner speed and moreover the chassis is compatible with Tamiya F104 bodies.
