RTRC RTA V3.1 RS Edition 1:28 Chassis

Fresh from taking 5 class wins at the 2026 Team Associated 1:28 International in Las Vegas last weekend, France’s RTRC has announced the RTA V3.1 RS Edition, a new premium version of their RTA V3.1 designed for drivers who want a highly competitive car right from the start. The RS Edition will be fully assembled by RTRC and supplied with an ESC and RTRC servo already installed. During assembly, each car will also be carefully checked and tweaked to ensure the chassis is properly set up before delivery. The motor will not be included, allowing each driver to choose the motor that best suits their class and racing conditions. This version will also come with a selection of performance option parts already fitted, so the car is delivered with a more advanced specification than the standard RTA V3.1 and is ready to perform from the very first runs. And this configuration is not just theoretical. The chassis has already proven its potential by winning the Lipo 3500 category at the Team Associated 1:28 International. RTRC say the the idea behind the RTA V3.1 RS Edition is simple, ‘take the proven RTA V3.1 platform, assemble it carefully in-house at RTRC, tweak and check the chassis during assembly, equip it with the right performance parts, and offer customers a package that is as close as possible to a race-ready chassis straight out of the box.’

DAS Speed RTA V3 Adjustable Rear Pod

Swiss 1:28 specialists DAS Speed has released this Adjustable Rear Pod for the RTA V3 1:28 competition car from French manufacturer RTRC. CNC machined from 7075 aluminium and finished with black anodising, the new rear pod developed specifically for RTA V3 platform to give racers more setup flexibility from a single rear assembly. One of the key features is the ability to run both 98 mm and 102 mm wheelbases with the same pod. Moving to 102 mm can provide a calmer, more stable car—particularly useful on larger, faster tracks and in higher-speed classes. 98 mm remains available when a more reactive setup is preferred. Several practical tuning features of the pod include the ability to add shims to lower the chassis while retaining larger-diameter rear tyres. Optional axle carrier are planned for setups requiring increased ride height with very small-diameter tyres. Additional clearance allows the use of larger pinions and taller gear ratios. The machined centre reference markings to help accurately centre the diff axles while the centre reference point underneath the pod allows the rear assembly to be balanced on two points for checking set-up.

Schumacher Mi10 +2mm Axle

Schumacher has introduced this new +2mm Rear Axle for their Mi10 1:10 Electric Touring Car. It changes the position of the rear driveshaft joint, moving it further inboard and altering the rear drivetrain geometry. The key performance benefit is improved forward traction on corner exit. The car is able to put the power down more effectively when the throttle is applied, allowing drivers to accelerate harder and earlier without sacrificing rear-end stability. This makes the +2mm Rear Axle an especially useful tuning option when looking for additional rear grip and forward drive, whether conditions are low grip or the driver is simply looking to extract more performance from the Mi10.
