DAS Speed RTA V3 Adjustable Rear Pod

Swiss 1:28 specialists DAS Speed has released this Adjustable Rear Pod for the RTA V3 1:28 competition car from French manufacturer RTRC. CNC machined from 7075 aluminium and finished with black anodising, the new rear pod developed specifically for RTA V3 platform to give racers more setup flexibility from a single rear assembly. One of the key features is the ability to run both 98 mm and 102 mm wheelbases with the same pod. Moving to 102 mm can provide a calmer, more stable car—particularly useful on larger, faster tracks and in higher-speed classes. 98 mm remains available when a more reactive setup is preferred. Several practical tuning features of the pod include the ability to add shims to lower the chassis while retaining larger-diameter rear tyres. Optional axle carrier are planned for setups requiring increased ride height with very small-diameter tyres. Additional clearance allows the use of larger pinions and taller gear ratios. The machined centre reference markings to help accurately centre the diff axles while the centre reference point underneath the pod allows the rear assembly to be balanced on two points for checking set-up.

Schumacher Mi10 +2mm Axle

Schumacher has introduced this new +2mm Rear Axle for their Mi10 1:10 Electric Touring Car. It changes the position of the rear driveshaft joint, moving it further inboard and altering the rear drivetrain geometry. The key performance benefit is improved forward traction on corner exit. The car is able to put the power down more effectively when the throttle is applied, allowing drivers to accelerate harder and earlier without sacrificing rear-end stability. This makes the +2mm Rear Axle an especially useful tuning option when looking for additional rear grip and forward drive, whether conditions are low grip or the driver is simply looking to extract more performance from the Mi10.

Associated RC10 4WD Jay Halsey Chain Drive Edition

With the whose who of 1:10 Offroad Racing racing at the Team Associated Vintage Championships in Las Vegas this weekend, Team Associated has just announced its latest RC10 kit offering, the 4WD Jay Halsey Chain Drive Edition. The kit celebrates one of the most memorable cars in Team Associated history, inspired by the prototype chain-driven buggy raced by Jay Halsey at the inaugural 1985 IFMAR Off-Road World Championships in Del Mar, California. After winning the 2WD World Championship, Halsey drove the experimental 4WD buggy to an impressive second-place overall finish, showcasing the potential of Team Associated’s innovative four-wheel-drive design. Though not an exact replica of Halsey’s original race car, this special edition combines the proven vintage RC10 4WD platform with the classic short-arm suspension and a nostalgic chain drivetrain. A heavy-duty stainless-steel chain, hardened sprocket gears, carbon fiber chain separator, and adjustable chain tension system deliver reliable drivetrain performance, while front CVA axles, hardened driveshafts, and high-torque ball differentials enhance durability. Short front arm geometry, Worlds-style steering bell cranks, and long-travel fluid-filled alu shocks provide precise handling over rough terrain. Completing the package are a classic gold chassis, natural shock towers, RC10 Classic Protech body, Jay Halsey-style wing, full ball bearings, and compatibility with both 6-cell NiMH and 2S LiPo battery packs.

Reckward-Tuning MBX8R Flat Lying Shock Conversion Kit

Coming from RMV Deutschland’s Reckward-Tuning brand is this Flat Lying Shock Conversion Kit for the Mugen Seiki MBX8R 1:8 Buggy. The kit was developed in close cooperation with the team at RMV Deutschland and Paul Eckmann, and has been extensively tested in close cooperation with Burak, Berkan and Abdullah Kilic. They are currently using the conversion kit on their buggies in both Nitro and Electric configurations. What makes it particularly interesting is that they did not simply focus on changing the shock position, but on solving the mechanical details around the conversion properly. A major focus during development was durability and material protection. The suspension-arm mounting uses high-strength screws combined with a special nylon locking system to prevent vibration-related loosening. At the same time, the inserts feature a precisely designed groove on the front side to reduce clamping pressure on the sensitive seam of the plastic suspension arm and minimise the risk of cracking. Another detail is the lower shock mounting. Instead of using conventional through-bolts with lock nuts, RMV Deutschland developed an asymmetric wing-style mounting solution. One side features a precise through-hole, while the opposite side is reinforced and threaded. This creates a very rigid and play-free connection while allowing the steel ball to work correctly and reducing wear and thread damage during repeated maintenance. The kit supplied as a complete F/R solution, rather than requiring racers to source individual components or purchase separate conversion parts for each axle. The idea was to provide a properly matched system that can be installed directly and gives the MBX8R a consistent front-to-rear setup.

Racing Bull Mini28 1:28 Racing Kit

As the world of 1:28 racing continues to grow and attract more drivers around the world, a new contender has recently entered the market in the form of Slovenian manufacturer Racing Bull who have just introduced their Mini28. The 2WD racing platform is developed and manufactured in Slovenia as a compact and lightweight racing chassis, with the focus on precise handling, direct driver feedback, simple construction, easy maintenance and an engaging driving experience. Rather than following a conventional small-scale suspension layout, Racing Bull, which was set-up by Tadej & Kramelina Štrok, developed its own concept combining a rigid front-end, direct rear-wheel drive and the Racing Bull 3D Flex System. One of the key features of the Mini28 is their own rear 3D Flex Pod System. The Mini28 does not use conventional front suspension, instead the rigid front-end provides a direct and precise feel, while controlled chassis movement and compliance are managed through the rear 3D Flex System. The system can be tuned using interchangeable softer or stiffer springs, allowing drivers to adjust the flex characteristics according to track conditions, grip level, tire choice and driving style. The concept allows the front of the chassis to remain simple, lightweight and rigid, while controlled movement is introduced through the rear flex system. The 3D Flex System is one of the key innovations behind the Mini28 platform and continues to be developed and refined through testing. Another important characteristic of the Mini28 is its direct rear-wheel-drive (RWD) system. The direct-drive concept provides an immediate connection between throttle input and the rear wheels, giving the Mini28 a lively and responsive driving character. The aim was not only to create a car capable of fast lap times, but also to make it genuinely interesting and rewarding to drive. A fully equipped Mini28 weighs approximately 133 grams including electronics while overall chassis length is approximately 130 mm without the front bumper and 141 mm with the bumper installed. Overall width is approximately 78 mm, depending on the selected wheel and tire combination.
