Exotek F1R2 IFS independent front suspension set

Exotek introduce the F1R2 IFS independent front suspension set that is designed to overcome the very limited suspension travel of standard can car type front suspension. The sweet spot is only about 2mm of travel which means abrupt and non linear car handling. With an IFS suspension the car handling becomes much more linear with real body roll characteristics which means you can drive harder into a corner while maintaining stability and confident road holding performance which translates to improved overall race time results and consistency. The 48 parts set contains all needed parts to convert the front suspension of cars with F104-type front suspension with parameter like droop, ride height, damper angle, spring rate, roll centre, camber and caster all being available from stock or using optional parts. Included are also two pairs of springs; black medium hardness for Ride tyres or low-grip conditions and silver firm springs for Shimizu or TCS tyres and high-grip tracks. The design fits onto the standard F104 bolt pattern but Tamiya type chassis are too narrow for the droop stop screws and the F104 servo mounting will not work. Exotek will work on developing the IFS set next to be able to work with standard Tamiya type chassis.

Pro-Line Prime 1/10th buggy slick tyre – Preview

Pro-Line Racing soon have the new Prime (semi)slick tyre for 1/10th off-road buggies available. With “Kojack” tyres being a hot ticket in certain indoor track conditions and they previously had to be hand made using grinders or sandpaper, more and more already prepped slick tyres now enter the market. And Pro-Line’s Prime tyre seems to go one step further as it offers a “cut slick” and slightly textured surfaces so by the looks of things it can be used right out of the bag with no break-in time needed. More information will be available soon.
