Mugen Seiki MTC2 FWD 1/10 touring car

Following the successful launch of the MTC2 electric touring car, Mugen Seiki have announced the MTC2 FWD. The kit is based off the MTC2 touring car and uses the same high-quality materials and parts. Ronald Völker was instrumental in the testing and development of the MTC2 FWD. The car has a mid-front motor layout and uses a lot of parts from the MTC2 electric touring car. The focus when designing and testing the MTC2 FWD was to get the best weight distribution along with reaching the weight limits for this class. Another focus was to maximise the number of interchangeable parts from the MTC2 to the MTC2 FWD which is key for racers, hobby shops, and dealers. The main chassis features multiple flex options as well as spots to mount additional weight while the one piece upper deck also offers multiple flex options as well as the possibility to use huge size pinions. The car comes standard with a 42gram front weight sitting under the front differential as well as a 85gram bumper weight with the possibility to add three additional 10gram weights. The rear of the car sports a body mount with horizontal body posts as well as vertical ones while the front comes with included body stoppers with additional spacers for use with FWD type bodyshells.

Yokomo YD-2SXIII graphite high traction chassis

For the YD-2SXIII, Yokomo have introduced this new main chassis made of graphite that changes the running characteristics of the machine by drastically changing the shape. Although optimised for the YD-2SXIII, the screw hole positions on the main chassis are the same, so E-series gearboxes and rear motor conversions can also be installed. While using the 2.5 mm thick plate material common to the YD-2 series graphite chassis, it has been slimmed down overall and has been significantly lightened, so it can be used on low grip road surfaces such as P tiles and coloured concrete. In particular, the area around the rear is designed to be as thin as possible by slit processing, making it possible to maximise rear traction. This main chassis has the perfect characteristics when you want to improve the stability of drifting in corners.

JConcepts Finnisher magnetic wrench & wheel nuts

JConcepts is making the job of taking your tires on and off a little easier with the release of the Finnisher magnetic T-handle wrench. With the locking wheel nuts of today such as the new JConcepts serrated wheel nuts, the initial spin is always easy, however, once you lock, it’s important to have a T-handle to clinch against the wheel. One of the trends is to  feature a magnet inside the wrench to allow for quicker or user-friendly tire changing and maintenance. The wrench is designed so a driver can quickly spin with the tip of the wrench in a conventional style and then move lower to the T-handle portion to lock into position. The main structure of the design is aluminium and anodised blue, while the T-handle is constructed of steel with a black oxide finish attached to aluminium finger paddles for the feel and touch to adjust easier and with less pain. The wrench has etched size and JC logos for authenticity and identification.
