Team Magic have released their latest version of their G4 chassis, the G4JS, which is targeted at the racer who is interested in getting into gas race racing but is conscious of his or her budget. The total cost of getting into on road gas racing can be quite frightening for many so the new G4JS is giving many the opportunity to race a championship winning chassis for minimal cost. The carbon fiber and alloy parts have been stripped from the car, but what really matters is what is still included, great suspension geometry, super low center of gravity and a unique chassis design which gives the G4 its two time European Championship winning feel.

Tamiya TamTech Buggy Champ – oOple

Tamiya TamTech Buggy Champ - oOple

Not something we would normally write about but as oOple have raced this car last weekend, that makes it suitable for Red RC.

The overall look of the original rough rider has been kept much more so than in the previously released mini frog’s case. The main distinct feature of the Buggy Champ being the trailing front suspension which is really the only difference that separates this, the newly-designated GB02 chassis, from the GB01 used on all the other current range.
