Manzo46 Digital Caster Gauge Set

Manzo46 has announced an update to its Digital Caster Gauge Set with the release of the all-new M46-018.  Due to long-term production problems at their measuring instrument supplier, their popular sM46-018 gauge was out of stock for a long time.  With strong customer demand and an extensive search for a new supplier, Manzor46 took the initiative and developed their own measuring instrument.  The all-new M46-018, which comes as 2-units, is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, but still offers the same proven functionality.  While it now has a single-axis measurement, you can still measure both camber and caster, albeit in a slightly different way.  For caster measurement, the process remains unchanged, with direct mounting of the gauge to the hub using the precision CNC-machined aluminium bracket.  An alternative measurement option is provided for the camber with the M46-018 compatible with platforms such as Awesomatix, Xray X4, Mugen Seiki and Schumacher.

IFMAR ISTC World C/Ship Motor & Battery homologation

IFMAR has published details of its approval process for motor and battery manufacturers wishing for their products to be used at this 1:10 Electric Touring Car World Championships which will be hosted by Finishline RC Raceway in Bakersfield, California, in November.  At last year’s IFMAR 1:10 Offroad World Championships in Arizona, a number of drivers were forced to switch motors and battery brands as their sponsor’s products while ROAR/EFRA approved had not completed the approval process with the World Federation.  The most high profile case of this was 2WD World Champion elect Tater Sontag who while at the time sponsored by Fantom, had to use a motor from Hobbywing and batteries from Protek.  Manufacturers with previous IFMAR approved batteries and motors do not need to re-apply for homologation once the product remains unchanged but with the Spec class moving to 17.5T this year all motors will need to go through the approval process.  All applications must be made between March 25th and July 5th, 2024.
