Vortex Racing MP1 RX-10SR mid pulley conversion kit

Spanish company Vortex Racing has announced the soon release of their MP1 mid pulley conversion kit for the Destiny RX-10SR 4WD touring car kit. Using the conversion will provide a car that is very easy to drive, that is more consistent, and that carries more speed through the corner, all while offering equal traction front and rear which is helpful especially when running modified motors. The designs focused on the overall flex of the symmetrical chassis and top deck, giving multiple options for different track conditions. The main chassis also accepts both standard and shorty-sized packs only by moving the battery mounts. The conversion utilises a small one-side mono-block motor mount with separate pulley shaft to make it lightweight while allowing to keep the motor close to the centre line. Also, in case a pulley bearing fails and damages the shaft, there is no need to replace the hole motor mount. In addition the servo mount was designed to provide options for weight balancing the car by moving the servo back/forth and left/right. The front and rear chassis stiffeners also allow control the overall chassis flex. The conversion kit is available for pre-order now by emailing Vortex Racing at info@vortex-racing.net.

Xpress XQ1 mid pulley conversion kit

Coming soon from Xpress and made for their XQ1 range of 4WD touring cars is the Mid Pulley chassis conversion kit. With the centred layshaft pulley and spur gear the motor will be shifted towards the centre of the car, a design that became en vogue recently as it promises increased mid corner rotation, improved overall chassis balance and more equal front and rear end drive compared to the standard “rear motor” setup. The set includes new upper and lower chassis parts, a new motor mount and several other parts to convert the standard XQ1 as well as the lower spec XQ1S. The conversion kit will hit stores world-wide very soon.

Capricorn LAB TE04 carbon fibre battery mount

Made for their LAB TE04 electric touring car is Capricorn’s new carbon fibre battery mount. Of a floating design the mounts only slightly touch the battery pack, resulting in a more natural chassis flex compared to using reinforced tape. This lead to a more equal left and right turn handling and less unwanted chassis tweak. The set includes a two machined carbon fibre battery retainers, machined and red anodised battery posts as well as mounting hardware.

ARC R11 Mid aluminium main chassis plate

Coming from ARC and made for the R11 Mid 4WD electric touring car conversion kit is an aluminium main chassis plate. The part is machined from high-quality 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium and it makes for a more rigid chassis construction, reducing torsional flex compared to the standard carbon fibre chassis for optimised handling in high to very high bite track conditions. The chassis comes black anodised for surface protection and it sports machined silver edge details and chamfered outer edges for less chassis scrub during cornering.

PSM DTC & HTC touring car aluminium chassis

Following a first teaser image, PSM from Germany have finally unveiled their new DTC and HTC touring car aluminium main chassis plates. These unique chassis have been specially developed to suit medium-low and medium-high grip conditions. The DTC Delta Traction Characteristics chassis feature delta shaped cut-outs to provide soft torsion characteristics along with consistent performance. The softer flex allows the car to generate more mechanical grip, which is helpful in low grip conditions and/or very tight tracks.
