RG Evolution BK4R 1:5 scale RC motorcycle

New from Italian RC motorcycle manufacturer RG Evolution comes their all-new RG BK4R 1:5 scale RC motorcycle. Describing the new bike as ‘a proper evolution’, the BK-4R gets a better chassis layout than its predecessor. They’ve opened things up with more room to work, easier ESC install, and optional cross bracing so you can dial in your flex – Stiff for grip, loose for flow — take your pick. Additional body support posts have been added into the front of the chassis to keep the fairing even more secure at high speeds. The bike has better cooling with no more duct tape fixes needed. The new 3-piece system is clean, cool and easy to swap when you bin it at turn three. The Receiver Box is now standard in the kit. At the Front End things have been updated with a new floating axle and the hub system tightens the front right up. No risk of fork bind or vague turns, just grip, lean and go. There is an optional Double Rear Swingarm with a new driveline config meanng you can swap sides depending on track direction — plus extra lean angle and smoother load on the bearings. Fixed Front Brake Rotor mean no more floaty drag and noisy disc. What used to be a premium upgrade, NAI Fork System is stock for quality that is buttery out of the box.

Boom RC ‘Bubble Flow’ for A800RR dampers

Wanting for some time to create a tool that makes filling and bleeding Awesomatix dampers easier and more reliable, German brand Boom RC introduces its ‘Bubble Flow’ tool. The touring car manufacturer’s new damper is a technical improvement over the MMX, but clean filling without air bubbles has often been a test of patience so Boom RC came up with the solution to raise the damper on the cap side so the screws are completely surrounded by oil – and where there’s oil, there’s no room for air. The tool allows you to fully refill the damper after opening the cap, or simply bleed out air if bubbles have formed. By moving the damper arm up and down, you create targeted pull and push motions to pump out the remaining air from the damper.

Wallie Builds Factory Works RC8B4.1 Pro Radio Tray

Best known for its car building services, US based Wallie Builds has released this Factory Works Pro Radio Tray for the RC8B4.1 from Team Associated. With a lot of the conditions in SoCal being loose and rough, Nick Wautlet set out to design an in between weight bias setup. Team Associated currently offers two Chassis’ for the RC8B4.1. The FWB Chassis is the standard that most brands are using (Mugen, Xray, Sworkz) and the RWB Chassis is the same length, but the centre items (Engine, pipe, Radio tray [minus Steering servo], centre diff and fuel tank) all move back 10mm. The FWB chassis in Wallie Builds opinion is the most balanced chassis, but can be a little bit of handful in some cases. The RWB Chassis, feels good but, from their testing has been slower with the same driving effort. In order for the RWB chassis to be fast, you have to drive on the edge the whole time which is difficult to maintain over long main events. Aiming to find the happy medium, they took the existing radio tray and modified it to use the Hump style RX battery in the back near the engine. They also moved the location of the receiver and transponder to the front of the car and found that in doing this, the car became a whole new animal. The resulted in improvements that include higher consistency, lap after lap while conditions worsened, an easy to drive buggy in rough conditions, more on power grip exiting the corners, and a buggy that was less reactive to bumps at high speed.

Reflex Racing FX28 Formula Car Kit

1:28 and Mini-Z specialists Reflex Racing is finally ready to release their first 1:28 Formula Car Kit, the FX28. After almost 2 years of conceptualisation and development, the FX28 is a comprehensive new design from the ground up and not just a lengthened 1:28 scale car. From concept to final product, the Texas based company had three goals – Simplicity, Low Center of Gravity, and Super Narrow Weight Distribution. In terms of simplicity the FX28 uses a 2 piece front end that is super tough for the demands of open wheel racing. The car comes with 2 Degrees of Caster built into the front end as well as 1 degree knuckles, which provide tons of steering and corner speed. Additionally the kit comes with a high quality servo saver which is essential for open wheel racing. On LCG, Reflex Racing has used steel and aluminium all throughout the lowest part of the car to keep the weight as low as possible. In relation to super narrow weight distribution, with a dampened rotary hinge rear suspension and low CG Disc Damper they are able to package everything inside the body without having to compromise the design, keeping the look of the car within 97%+ fidelity to full scale Formula cars. The high performance Lexan body and molded nylon wings are based on modern day Formula cars and were developed in cooperation with Radbody. Available to pre-order now, the FX28 will start shipping later this month.
