TRG working on budget pan car kit

Japanese company TRG, know for their highly complex F104 and F103 conversion kits, such as the TRG114, are currently working on a simple pan car chassis for Tamiya front and rear axles. The prototype shows a 1-piece fibre glass chassis with an integrated rear power pod as part of the main chassis rather than a 2-piece solution as seen on the original F104 and F103 cars. Cut-outs left and right make for a “T-bar” design that allows the motor pod to flex as it is needed to create rear traction and side-bite. The front and rear of the chassis take F103 200mm (and we guess also F104 190mm) suspension parts and the car is designed for the use with GT and sports car type of bodyshells. The car/chassis is still in prototype stages and we bring you more information as we get them.

Hudy Exclusive Edition cargo bag

Hudy introduce their new Exclusive Edition cargo bag. Sporting dimensions of 78x51x27cm the roller bag is large enough to carry cars, electric equipment and tools while being compact enough to fit into low-height car trunks or to use them when travelling by plane or bus. An aluminium frame makes for a low weight while adding the needed rigidity as do the reinforced walls with printed Hudy graphics and the two heavy-duty plastic bars on the bottom. Soft rubber handles and ball-raced wheels make handling easy and the spacious interior has enough room for the 5 large boxes that come included with the bag. Alternatively the hauler bag also takes 8 small boxes or combinations of both.

Avid D413 hard-anodised aluminium chassis set

Available now from Avid is the hard-anodised aluminium chassis set for the HB D413. Born from a winning pedigree, Avid’s IFMAR World Champion winning B44.2 aluminium chassis, the HB part is further refined by lowering the ballast weight even more into the chassis, oversized chamfers on the bottom corners for increased stability during those inevitable chassis dragging moments, and an optional floating servo mount allows the chassis to twist equally left to right. Included with the set comes the 7075-T6 chassis, one delrin and one aluminium ballast weight, a carbon fibre battery stop, an Upgrade RC chassis protector, and an Avid decal. Additional 3g delrin, 7g aluminium, or 21g brass inserts are sold separately for more tuning options.

Revolution Design Racing Products Ultra Bearings

New from RDRP is a line of high-quality ball bearings as a replacement for worn-out ball races or as instant upgrade when building a new kit. Their special construction with a protective rubber seal on the “outer” side and a low-friction steel shield on the “inner” side maximise the protection against the elements while optimising the drivetrain’s efficiency compared to all-rubber shielded ball races. This makes them especially useful in demanding applications such as electric and nitro off-road racing. A low-drag lubricant further adds to the ultra smooth operation with the bearings being available as complete car sets for many Team Associated, Team C, Team Durango, Kyosho, Mugen, Schumacher, TLR, and Yokomo kits as well as individually in 4-piece sets.
