Team Saxo GT-500 V2 1/10th touring car

The GT500-V2 from Team Saxo is a 1/10 rear wheel drive electric on-road touring car. This pan car style 1/10 chassis comes with the right track width and wheelbase to fit most of the current 1/10 touring car bodies. Combining the simple but efficient 2-wheel drive chassis with a closed wheel body and rubber touring car tires, the GT500-V2 is expanding the boundary of RC racing. It creates a low maintenance yet high performance class that drivers can focus more on driving and have close wheel-to wheel racing. The GT500-V2 features a 1/12th scale style front end which makes it easy to alter the camber, caster and other setup aspects. The link style rear pod allows the chassis to roll freely without binding and it is easy to set up the side tube and spring to adjust the roll stiffness to alter the handling of the car. A standard sized rear ball diff is included in the kit with touring car wheel adapter to take advantage of the modern tire technology developed in the competitive 4wd touring car racing competition. Different positions for battery placement are provided for the drivers to fine turn the weight distribution of the car and alter the handling characteristics and different positions for body mounting are also provided to suit different body type and styles.

Xpress Dragnalo DR1S 1/10 4wd EP high power TC

Xpress have introduced their Dragnalo DR1S 1/10 4wd EP high power touring car. Traditional touring cars are designed for use with a 2S LiPo in line with a lot of racing standards set by the racing organisations. But with the advancement in both LiPo and brushless power systems, the DR1S was designed to handle much larger amounts of power. The DR1S was designed with the goal to handle all of that power. From Circuit racing to drag racing and 2S LiPo to 6s LiPo, the drivetrain was designed to deal with all of these high powered systems. For Drag racing application, this car was designed to withstand the power which the current 1/8th power plants are able to generate. The height adjustable wheelie bar was designed to minimise launch times and stabilise the car after launch.
