Schumacher release first official images of Mi3

Schumacher Mi3

After many spy shots of the new 190mm touring car from Schumacher and much talk about it, the British company has finally released official images of the new Mi3. Schumacher appear to have taken their re entry into the top of the competition scene very seriously and alongside employing some big name drivers have made a very nice car which will be in the shops at the end of March.

The Schumacher Mi3 is the first next generation touring car. It will set new standards for 4WD electric touring car design. Featuring a host of design innovations and a unique ultra modern look the Mi3 will be the car to beat at race tracks around the world and the benchmark all new touring cars will be compared to.

Corally RDX phi chick

Corally have been known to put women, wearing very little clothing, in their promotional material before, but this is just the most blatant attention whoring ever, and i love it. Using the same stripper from the DHI cup, Corally presents us with their latest and greatest car, the ‘Phi’. I don’t need to go into details about the cars specs again so i wont, you can check those out here. The car will be shown at NÃ¼rnberg this week and be available soon after.

New Crono buggy, not RC8

Team Associated RC8

Two days ago we showed this picture and asked if it was the new Associated and well what we know about the new RC8 pretty much ruled it out, like the fact that it uses C hubs and will come with a somewhat radical wing and body. So now there has been a lot of guessing concerning this picture, myself included, and it seems the front runner is that this is the new Crono and comparing it to a picture of the RS03 would seem to confirm that.

Is this the Team Associated RC8?

Team Associated RC8

Our mate Philip over at Neo Buggy has a spyshot on his site and although he’s not giving too much away on what manufacturer it is from, you have to ask who is left to show their entry into this class besides Team Associated. The upcoming RC8 is eagerly awaited and while it will contain some parts from the Thunder Tiger buggy, it should be all new. When we find out more we will let you know.

UPDATE: We have been reminded that the new Asso will be released with C-hubs and this car doesnt appear to have them. Damn, so that means we are no closer to finding out who this car is from, perhaps Crono?

oOple builds the Tamiya TRF 501X

Tamiya TRF 501X by oOple

Red RC isnt the build and review type of site, we like to just carry product and racing news and other interesting bits but we always make an exception for when oOple does a build and review article, they are the absolute best you can get. This time round Jimmy has built the all new Tamiya TRF 501X and as usual he has gone into all the fine details and pictured everything along the way and then compared it to other similar cars on the market, not only all that but he has thrown in an interview with team driver Hubert HÃ¶nigl too.

Just check it out here and while your there check out the TrakPower 4900mah LiPo review too.

Diggity Design release the 3D12 and CD12

Diggity Design CD12

Diggity Designs have released official information on their new 3D12 and CD12 as well as some nice pictures. Last week we showed you the 3D12, so in the picture above you can see the prototype CD12 (the released car will be black metal and carbon), which allows the cells to be mounted sideways whilst the 3D12 allows for centrally mounted cells.

The new rear pivot is ultra light and easy to replace when/if broken. It uses a milled nylon 6/6 block and a TC4 shock bottom ballcup together with low profile hex ball. Both versions utilize the new ballcup pivot with CRC one-piece side links and rear spring design wich makes this the hottest pivot set-up available and only found here at Diggity Designs!

Check out the images of the cars here and the full information here.

Diggity Designs 3D12

A while back we wrote about the upcoming release of the new 3D12 and the CD12 1/12th pan cars from Diggity Designs. Well the cars still wont be available to the general public for another 2 weeks but the 3D12 has been spotted on RC Tech belonging to owner Sean B. The car features an innovative rear floating system as we mentioned before and the quality of the overall kit appears to be top notch but we hope to bring you more details when the car is released.
