Schumacher vented shock caps

Schumacher have released these new vented shock caps for all their small bore shocks and mainly suited for Off Road, however at recent large Touring Car races ‘Emulsion’ style shocks have become more popular and these caps will fit both TC and Off Road cars. The new cap allows you to build Emulsion shocks easily and consistently. They also allow you to build them with normal diaphragms, both vented and sealed, allowing different levels of rebound to be used.

Associated RC10R5.1 Factory Team kit

The RC10R5.1 Factory Team kit takes the next evolutionary step into the growing 1:10 scale World GT on-road racing class. Taking the design cues and revisions from the highly successful RC12R5.2 platform, the 10R5.1 has incorporated these improvements, pushing chassis performance to the next level. Sharing what is arguably the best pan car front end design to date, the IFMAR World Championship-winning Dynamic Strut front end features symmetrical components with adjustable caster and track width, and updated lower control arms with more accurate mounting for a more precise build every time.

Xray Column – Making the T4, Part 1

The 64th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj gives us an insight into the design, prototyping and manufacture of their all new T4 touring car.

I had been feeling for some time that we would need to attempt a different approach in order to reduce traction rolling in extreme traction conditions, yet still be able to increase steering and improve corner speed. Before doing anything with the long proven suspension I first wanted to experiment with weight distribution, chassis flex and primarily CG. My theory was that lowering the CG would reduce roll, thereby increasing traction and corner speed. Now I needed to test that theory.

Aids in cooling the motor by adding more surface area to the motor mount while a slotted bottom screw mounting allows for easier removal from mid motor configuration. Exotek have also produced a pair of precision 15mm alloy hex adapters for the DESC210 or DESC410. A special design uses a set screw to lock the pesky axle pins in place for worry free wheel changes.

JConcepts Kyosho RB6 Finnisher body

JConcepts have released a Finnisher body for the new Kyosho RB6. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralize the at-speed handling. The chassis to body fit has been tightened up which eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also a louver which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included 2 of the latest 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings.
