Team Associated TC28 Team Kit

Having entered the 1:28 racing scene last July with the release of the RC28, Team Associated has just announced the TC28 Team Kit.  The key feature of the 4WD belt driven TC28 is its independent front and rear suspension.  The kit also includes constant velocity driveshafts, mid-motor configuration with equal length belts, fluid filled gear differentials with height and belt tension adjustment and a front and rear anti-roll bar.  Like the RC28, it is based on a steel chassis plate to provide a low centre of gravity while the insert adjustable roll centre enables chassis roll adjustment based on the grip level.  With the TC28 Team Kit you also get white wheels and a Mako X2 body shell from category specialist body shel producer Radbody.

Velocity RC VS2 Sprint Car

Oval racing manufacturer Velocity RC’s has announced a new competition Sprint Car, the VS2, which is set to go on pre-order tomorrow (May 7th).  The US brand has been working for some time on a purpose built platform with the VS2 a competition ready car kit with 7mm offset chassis.  The body and wings are produced in partnership with McAllister Racing with a Custom Works Cage.  The front end design is a bit of refinement and a bit of departure from the norm.  The refinement is in the design of the front kickups, while not revolutionary they offer the ability to ad optional droop plates as well as – after much much use – the option to use set screws to remove any play in the hinge pins that can develop over time. The departure is in everything else.  The steering assembly is tucked in between the front bulkheads, allowing for the battery to be placed further forward, which is desirable on high grip tracks.  The bracing of the front end also leads to a more direct steering feel without the loss of rear grip that usually comes from stiffening the entire chassis.  The VS2 steering assembly is full Avid RC bearing supported, black anodizsed & edged) aluminium.  The design includes steel hat bushings to ensure free movement with no crushed bearings. The steering posts are notched on the bottom for ease of holding in place with the back side of the carbon camber wrench (that is also in the kit).  Velocity say what makes the car ‘Competition Ready’ is the kit will include many parts that other companies consider optional. These include Full Aluminium Steering (Bellcranks/Rack), Alu spindles, Alu Rear Hubs, Small bore shock spring collars for small or big bore springs, Alu shock standoffs with delrin balls, full metric hardware, no standard wrenches needed, and 4mm Shock Towers.
