IFMAR statement on Xtreme Aerodynamics CZ1 Nitro Touring Body

With the 11th running of the 1:10 Nitro Touring Car World Championships coming up this September in Gubbio, Italy, World governing body IFMAR have issued a statement in relation to compliance of the Xtreme Aerodynamics CZ1.   It was found that the EFRA Homologation No. 2064 body produced in 0.75 mm thickness did not comply with the applicable regulations concerning measurement point “M”.   As a result the current current CZ1 body carrying EFRA Homologation No. 2064 will not be eligible for use at the World Championship, regardless of material thickness.  Italian manufacturer Xtreme Aerodynamics has accepted this decision and committed to manufacturing a revised version of the EFRA 2064 body fully complying with Measurement “M” (118 mm). These bodies will carry a specific IFMAR engraving identifying them as approved for use at the 2026 IFMAR World Championship.  The Italian manufacturer has also committed to supplying these revised bodies free of charge to all competitors who intended to participate in the IMAR World Championship using the current EFRA 2064 body.

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.
