The Gen3-D is Protoform’s latest offering for the RC oval racer and enthusiast. The NASCAR Nationwide Series has developed a car that is totally unique, with the nose and grill area reflecting more detail and brand identity than in previous years. The Protoform Gen 3-D even shares the “kicked-up” rear quarter panels seen on the 1:1 racers, increasing downforce without the penalty of an oversized spoiler. It also features an add-on blade spoiler and a double step splitter/spoiler on the front valance. The left side still features a bumped out area for added battery clearance and left side weight bias and the rear window/trunk rail has been enlarged just like the 1:1 racer. The “Gen3-D” is produced with the best in quality .030 polycarbonate. It’s equipped with spoiler mounting hardware, protective film, window masks and a decal sheet. This body will also fit most popular 200mm sedan chassis.

DE Racing have introduced a Borrego SC wheel for use on both the Team Durango DESC210 and DESC410 short course trucks. Modeled after their 1/10 buggy line, these wheels feature the realistic scale appearance of a beadlock wheel with mud cover, and can be used with their optional sticker disks to give a new level of color customizing. They have been offset +2.5mm from a stock Durango wheel and this added 5mm track width and modified steering scrub radius make the car more predictable and easy to drive. Available in black, silver, white & yellow.

C.Andy’s have produced this AHA race management system for clubs and event/series organisers. The system places a small circuit board between the LiPo and the ESC which limits the electricity delivered to the ESC. The amount can be easily programmed by the organiser and easily checked through the use of LEDs. If the racer uses too much power the system will blink red and the driver wont pass post race scrutiny. The idea is to equalise the power from different ESCs, batteries and motors for example if you are using too much timing, you will use more power.

Along with releasing their new Virtus Power .21 on road engine, Novarossi have also introduced two new offroad .21 engines, the Keep-Off .21-4 and the Keep-Off .21-7XL. Similar to the Keep-On engine released last year the Keep-Off motors sport the patented new main ball bearing which reduces rotating inertia and increases the engines scavenging. The new bearing features a narrower centre bearing ring than the outer ring, the result of which is increased throttle response and a higher top speed. Both motors, a 4-port and a 7-port comes with ceramic/steel ball bearings but are also available with all ceramic bearings.
Top Italian on road racer Giuseppe D’Angelo has released his own line of additive, the result of numerous laboratory tests and track testing. The main characteristics of this additive are increased grip & traction while at the same time remarkable smoothness, an important quality to obtain excellent results. One of its best features is its remarkable ability to penetrate the foam thus guaranteeing grip at all stages of the race.
