GPZ 1:28 Rubber Tyres for RCP Tracks

New French brand GPZ has released a new range of high-performance 1:28 rubber tyres specially developed for optimal grip on RCP-type tracks. Made in France from exclusive compounds with strict hardness control for every production run, the tyres have been validated by some of the categories leading racers including World Champion José Péquito. Offer in three compounds, the Soft option is made from an ultra-soft compound for maximum grip in ideal conditions. The GPZ Medium tyre provides balance between grip and durability for all RCP tracks. The Hard is a long-lasting compound for extended sessions and abrasive surfaces. Each set of tyres comes in an airtight & reusable packaging designed as a genuine performance tool. With no air exchange & no external contamination, the compound remains stable, session after session.

Krazed Builds 7XF TRF421 FWD Conversation Kit

Bringing us the A12F Veyron Kit F1 earlier this year, US based Krazed Builds has announced the up coming release of its 7XF kit, an innovative Front Wheel Drive kit designed for the TRF421 1:10 Electric Touring Car from Tamiya. It was designed with the focus of keeping all the original TRF421 parts used and no chasing down random ones from other suppliers. Starting from the ground up they designed a 7075-T6 Aluminium chassis focused on tunability with symmetrical flex in the right places giving control and power where its needed. They have maximised stability in the rear suspension so the front can do its job. Moving the stock motor mount forward they were able to maintain balance with performance and keep all electronics in a nested area for controlled weight transfer. This leaves room for drivers to fine tune their balance on scales. Not being a fan of stacking all the weight over the front tires and hoping the rear stays planted, this helped create what Krazed Builds believe is a better transfer of weight on and off power. The 3D printed bumper has the ability to use popular cylindrical weights with Awesomatix making these in 5 gram and 10 gram units that have a threaded centre hole. Adding a Carbon Fiber upper bumper brace drivers can attach up to 70 grams directly in front of their wheels. They also added a few extra locations towards the rear to attach these weights as well as the popular stick on ones. In addition to the 7075-T6 Alloy chassis, the 7XF kit also includes 2mm Carbon Fibre front and rear top decks while in the rear it comes with a new 4mm Carbon Fibre body mount plus 2 carbon shims for the rear shock tower mounts. You also get two new Carbon Fibre Battery holders plus a belt for the new driveline.

Capelli K6 1:6 Competition Kart

After more than two years of development, the Capelli K6 is now officially available. A passion project of the Australian company’s owner Ryan Capel, it was designed from the ground up as a purpose-built 1:6 electric competition kart and introduces a new category to RC racing by combining the driving characteristics of full-size KZ racing karts with the performance expected from modern competition RC chassis. The forged carbon fibre two-piece chassis incorporates a central pitching damper system to control chassis movement while maintaining consistent rear tyre contact. Extensive adjustment is available including camber, caster, toe, Ackermann, ride height, stub axle / kingpin offset and roll centre, allowing the chassis to be tuned across a wide range of track conditions. A key feature of the design is an adjustable mass positioned opposite the motor to optimise lateral weight distribution. The position of the weight can be fine-tuned to suit different electronics and track conditions, while optional weights further expand the tuning range.

TZO 1:10 ‘Fast Line’ Aero Performance Wing

California based tyre brand TZO has introduced their ‘Fast Line’ Aero Performance Wing for 1:10 Buggy under its TZO Performance range. They say the new rear wing is engineered from the ground up to deliver the rear grip, stability, and consistency needed by today’s competitive racers. It features a 7″ wide aero platform for increased rear stability with the aggressive extended gurney generating more downforce and rear grip. Its Long Chord Design improves aerodynamic efficiency while reinforced ribbing delivers durability without sacrificing flexibility. The wing has integrated trim lines for quick tuning to match changing track conditions.

Hobby Expo China – Turbo Racing, small scale with big potential!

With the date for the 25th edition of the Hobby Expo China recently announced as 16-18th April 2027, and this year’s Expo the biggest one yet with an official attendance figure of 72,000, we wanted to revisit this ‘seeing is believing’ exhibition with a look at one of the stand out exhibitors for us. On travelling to the Beijing Exhibition Centre, one of the manufacturers we were keen to chat with was Turbo Racing. While not a brand that would feature much in Red RC’s daily product news, this producer of small scale hobby grade RC cars had caught our attention. The first time we became aware of the brand and what they produced was at the original GDC Indoor Track in Foshan, China, while attending the inaugural Foshan Invitation RC Championship in 2023, their branding appearing around the indoor track. That support of RC racing transferred to the impressive new Hongyu GDC track, widely recognised as the one of the greatest RC facilities in the world. The logo of this maker of small cars appearing alongside some of the biggest brands in the world of competition RC racing. However what really made us take serious notice was when this Chinese company announced none other than 3-time back to back Electric Touring Car World Champion Bruno Coelho as a brand ambassador. This wasn’t a sign that they suddenly had ambitions to enter the 1:10 Touring Car market but rather them seeing a value in being associated with one of the greatest drivers in the world and using that to get more kids into playing with their products. Greeted by the Turbo Racing stand on first entering the Beijing Exhibition Centre through the impressive main entrance arch, it got us thinking could Turbo Racing be a brand that is sowing the seed of future RC racers – its small scale having big potential!

RC Paddock Data Analysis Platform

RC Paddock is a new web-based platform designed to help RC racers and teams transform track data into clearer, faster decisions. Rather than managing lap times, setups, notes, telemetry and videos through separate tools, RCPaddock connects them within a single racing workflow. Users can review practice and race sessions, compare runs, evaluate consistency and tyre degradation, document setup changes and build a searchable history of their racing activity. During practice days, RCPaddock works together with the free IWI Timing software to bring real-time lap times directly into the platform. Users can also import CSV files from supported third-party timing websites, allowing previously recorded practice sessions to be analysed and stored in the same environment.

Xbility XB-SF 1:28 Kit

Xbility RC, the 1:28 manufacturer headed by category World Champion Jose Pequito, has revealed its latest competition chassis the XB-SF. With countless hours of testing, development, and refinement, their goal was to achieve the target weight while maintaining the perfect amount of chassis flex. With every component carefully designed, tested, reviewed, and refined until they achieved the balance we were looking for the XB-SF combines innovative engineering with proven Xbility performance. A carbon fibre chassis with strategically placed brass weights, achieves the target weight while delivering the ideal weight distribution and the perfect balance between rigidity and chassis flex. A completely redesigned tweak plate, with optimised spring mounting points that allow the springs to work more effectively, delivers increased precision, improved rear-end rotation, and a more consistent feel on the track. Knuckles with internal O-rings transform the kingpin damping system into true miniature shock absorbers for smoother, more controlled, and more consistent front suspension movement. A Floating servo mount minimises interference with chassis flex and allowing the chassis to work exactly as intended. The car gets a completely redesigned motor pod, lowering the motor’s centre of gravity, while a brass pod on the opposite side provides the desired left-to-right weight balance. Xbility’s proven 3-point ball differential, engineered to virtually eliminate wheel play while delivering exceptionally smooth operation, more efficient power transfer, and outstanding consistency. The XB-SF is now available for pre-order.
