Tamiya TRF211XM & TRF102 – Teaser images

Tamiyablog got their hands on first images of Tamiya’s forthcoming TRF211XM 2WD buggy and TRF102 formula kits. Starting with the buggy, the front and rear section looks pretty close to the successful TRF201XMW, the car that took the vice-championship at the 2013 IFMAR World Championships, but the main feature is the new tub chassis that will be made of a new composite material that, from what is understood, will offer different flex characteristics compared to a standard composite part in that it is more rigid without sacrificing the car’s grip characteristics. More information will become available during this week’s Shizuoka Hobby Show.

Wild Turbo Fan 2015 3D Mad Max fan mount

Wild Turbo Fan have introduced the 2015 version of the Mad Max fan mount. Building on the sleek design of the previous version the ’15 fan mount offers a tension adjustment feature that allows to adjust the mount to the motor can as these can slightly vary in diameter from brand to brand. A screw incorporated into the main mount presses against a steel ball to slightly close the clamp for a tighter fit on smaller diameter cans to make sure the whole assembly safely stays in place even in rough racing conditions.

Spec-R T4-15 floating steering conversion kit

Coming from Spec-R and made for the Xray T4-15 touring car is a floating steering conversion kit. Making use of a redesigned upper servo mount plate and new orange anodised aluminium steering posts the set removes the kit’s steering assembly from the main chassis in favour of a “floating” design. The result is a more freely flexing chassis and less influence of the chassis’ flex on the steering angle during cornering. The conversion bolts right onto the standard inner servo mount and it is available now.
