Sanwa SGS-01C drift car gyro system

Sanwa SGS-01C drift car gyro system

German Sanwa distributor LRP introduce the SGS-01C gyro system that helps to make car control much easier, especially on slippery surfaces as it can reduce both under- and oversteer tendencies. Designed with drift car racing in mind the gyro is also usable in many other applications although you have to check with the event’s rules before using it in competition as many tracks, race series and governing bodies ban the use of gyros for fairness reasons. When used in combination with Sanwa’s M12, Exzes-Z or MT-4S transmitters the gyro’s sensibility is adjustable via the radios and even during a run.

Hiro Factory HRF10X 2014ver F1 conversion kit

Hiro Factory introduce the HRF10X 2014ver formula 1 conversion kit for Tamiya F103 and F104 cars. The set is based around a completely redesigned main chassis that allows to adjust the flex characteristics using aluminium inserts and connecting aluminium washers. The chassis kit takes shorty-type LiPo battery packs and included are also a new rear aluminium power pod supported by side links and a 2.5mm 7075 aluminium power pod plate that helps with motor cooling in hot ambient temperatures or when running highly stressed stock motor. Also part of the rear power pod are special spring steel wing mounts and an aluminium roll damper. A HRF12X centre shock with 3-hole piston and hardened shock body is included for pitch dampening as are several hardware parts. As the HRF10X is a conversion kit it needs a F103/104-style front end and rear axle, wings, wheels, tyres and a bodyshell for completion.
