Cut from 2.5mm carbon fibre sheet and coming with mounting hardware the brace makes for a less aggressive steering feeling on grippy surfaces as it stiffens up the front end assembly by connecting the lower wishbones.

Morotech F103 T-bar chassis conversion

Japanese company Morotech, know for their Project43 6-wheeler formula car, introduces a somewhat “vintage” carbon fibre chassis set for Tamiya’s F103 car. The chassis features a conventional T-bar rear suspension over a more modern link setup as it is en vogue with today’s formula and pan cars. The design also makes use of a single bellcrank steering for an improved Ackermann geometry and the rear end damping duties are taken care of by a friction disc damper. The T-bar itself is made from black fibre glass and it connects to the chassis using a Y-shaped front brace and a delrin rear brace. The kit should become available soon.
