HRC Distribution have introduced the 2016 Team Magic and HRC European Touring Team hoodies. Using the same design as their recently introduced T-shirt, the genuine Gildan Heavy Blend hoodie sports large orange, white and black prints on the front and back.
Team Magic have introduced a 2mm aluminium chassis plate for the E4RS III+ touring car. Machined from black anodised 7075 aluminium the symmetrical chassis provides a more predictable handling on medium to high-bite carpet tracks. Laser-etched logos in the battery pack area also add some visual impact.

Team Magic have introduced the E4RS III+ electric touring car kit. The follow-up model of the E4RS III, that was only introduced around eight month ago, features some subtle revisions with more than 90 percent of the parts remaining the same. Most of the modifications made will increase the car’s precision, corner speed and steering angle. The III+ builds on a symmetrical carbon fibre main chassis plate, the aluminium bulkheads feature 1-piece upper aluminium covers with ultra-thick shock towers and the optimised front steering knuckles sport an additional Ackermann mounting position while offering increased steering throw. Part of the package are also dual-joint front driveshafts, included is an aluminium spool body with steel outdrives, and the standard length shock absorbers are equipped with teflon shock guides and aluminium spring cups. Also included are low-profile battery guides, a laterally adjustable motor mount as well as orange, ultra fine-tune suspension inserts with 0.2mm increments. For current E4RS III owners Team Magic will also release an upgrade kit. The III+ is set for a release in the second week of December.
HRC Distribution have introduced their new T-shirt. Coming with a mainly orange and white print sporting Team Magic, HRC, Hard and PF logos the merchandise is made using grey colour, high-quality Heavy Cotton Gildan shirts.

The follow-up model of the successful E4RS III will feature some subtle refinements such as a 2.5mm carbon fibre chassis for quicker steering response, reinforced C-hubs for increased durability and steering precision, revised steering knuckles for increased steering as well as reinforced rear drive shafts and upper bulkheads. The suspension arms now use aluminium pivot balls and new arm mount spacers make for easier fine-tuning of the roll centre settings. Also new is an updated one-piece FR arm mount for better steering control. The III+ will become available as a full kit and also as an upgrade package for current E4RSIII owners. More information and images should become available shortly.

European Team Magic distributors HRC Distribution have announced the signing of 3-times French Champion and multiple French Vice-Champion Cyril N’Diaye to their team. The former Yokomo driver will receive full factory support to run Team Magic’s E4RS III touring car and he has the following to say about the deal:
I had the opportunity to test the car of Léo Arnold during French Nationals at Tours in June, and I was very impressed by his corner speed and overall handling. After the French Cup in September, Lionel Troyon gave me a E4RS III kit to make some tests at my local track. I like the feeling I have with that car, and his overall handling and great precision. I also like the way the team works, very close to TM factory. So I decided to joins the team. I thank Team Magic and HRC team for this great opportunity. I also would like to deeply thank Yokomo Team for the 5 last years with them. I wish them all the best, especially to Ronald and Umino for the next worlds in Beijing.

New from Team Magic come the E4JR II 4WD electric touring car RTR kits. The vehicles make use of the same suspension geometry and chassis layout as the E4RS II Evo competition kit but they incorporate many features to make them more wallet-friendly, such as hard composite bulkheads, Eco-graphite carbon fibre parts and slightly simpler shock absorbers. The kits still feature a carbon fibre chassis and topdeck, carbon fibre shock towers, threaded aluminium shocks and a ball raced steering unit as well as a front spool and rear gear differential to make them race-worthy. Included with the RTR sets come a waterproof brushed speed controller, a 540-size brushed motor, a waterproof steering servo and 2.4GHz receiver. The cars are topped off by your choice of a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, Nissan GT86/Subaru BRZ or BMW 3-series bodyshell.
