Futura Tyre Additive

Following the recent announcement of its first car kit, the Futura F1, the new Italian brand has released a new range of tyre additives.  Suitable for both rubber and foam tyres, the range offers three distinct additives designed for different track and grip conditions.  The Red labelled additive is the most aggressive and is ideal if you want significant, uniform, and consistent grip throughout the entire race.  Blue is better suited for tracks that already have grip, where good rolling speed is preferred without sacrificing substantial traction.  Yellow is designed for greater rolling speed on tracks that already offer high traction.

RTRC RTA V3.1 1:28 Chassis Set

Having released the RTA V3 at the end of 2025, France’s RTRC has announced the upcoming release of the V3.1.  Their latest kit offering was developed directly from customer feedback and real-world experience.  Their goal was to address the most common requests from drivers while improving reliability, ease of assembly, and overall performance.  The V3.1 is not a new platform but an evolution of the existing V3, incorporating a series of carefully considered improvements while maintaining the proven foundations of the original design.  To protect their customers’ investment, all V3.1 parts remain fully compatible with the V3 platform, and V3 components can also be used on V3.1 chassis.  One of the key features of the V3.1 kit will be a factory pre-built front end with front arms pre-assembled and hand-finished suspension arms for smooth and consistent steering.  Other updates include new-generation front suspension for improved damping performance and overall handling while a longer central damper post eliminates the need of shims between the chassis and axle and prevents suspension interference with the battery.  A revised side spring brace design allows adjustment of body post mounting positions. carbon tiber parts no longer use nuts. inese have been replaced with pre-installed threaded inserts.  Set for release end of June/early July, RTRC are also working on the release of a conversion kit at a later date.

Futura 1:10 Formula Kit

A brand that was created by Italy’s Mikimodel after three years of its ‘Special Parts’ production, Futura presents its first ever full kit with the release of an 1:10 Formula car.  In development for almost a year, it has been designed with a strong focus on optimal weight distribution and highly efficient vehicle dynamics.  The rear carbon fibre pod plates, combined with aluminium mounting points, help reduce unsprung mass, improving weight distribution and rear-end responsiveness.  The pod plates are connected by a composite brace specifically designed to maintain alignment without excessively increasing stiffness, allowing a controlled amount of rear flex to enhance traction and cornering grip.  The rear wing mount features 6 adjustment positions, enabling precise aerodynamic load tuning according to track conditions and setup requirements.

Sagami RC Fab NX ver2 1:12

Japan’s Sagami RC Fab has announced the upcoming release of their SRF-NX ver2 1:12 kit, a design based on the legendary NX101 manufactured by R&D Ishuhara that won the All Japan Championship in 1984.  The previous SRF-NX was released in January 2023 as a “bare kit,” requiring users to provide their own dampers and rear axle but now the Ver2 comes as a full complete kit.  Currently, it is planned to be sold exclusively online, with approximately 50 units available.  The main features of the Ver2, which will be limited to jusy 50 kits, is a 2.5mm thick carbon fibre main chassis and rear cross plate.  The previous model’s main chassis was made of 2mm thick black FRP.  The rear cross brace, which supports the body posts and roll damper, is also made of the same material.  The T-bar is made of 1.5mm thick black FRP, and the most of aluminium parts are made of 7075-T6 material.  Also new is the -1 degree Camber Front Crossbar.  This was previously released as a very limited-quantity option to improve cornering performance at high speeds.  The height of the left and right crossbar mounts has been lowered to ensure sufficient ride height even with small-diameter front tyres.  The front body post position has been moved forward and are positioned above the white resin bumper to prevent the front of the body from interfering with the track surface when using modern thin-walled bodies.  It can also be changed back to the classic, traditional position.
