Schumacher Mi10 Body Supports | Option Parts

Schumacher has introduced a  number of new parts for its Mi10 Electric Touring Car including body supports, a Front Bulkhead Brace, and Alloy Radius Arm Setup Lock.  Specifically for the Avalon Vortex body shell, this new version body mount system provides additional support to the rear of the body.  The BMS also removes the need for holes in the body shell which allows for a sleeker look.  The serrations allow the adjustment of the height of the body to your desired setting.  As ultra light bodies have become the norm for high performance in modern Touring Cars, they have also released a Bonnet Support for the Mi10.  The support improves deflection at high speed and gives the body generally better support and weighs just 2 grams.  Also for body tuning comes these 0.5mm Body Height Adjuster Body height adjusters for all brands of touring car car that have 6mm body posts and 1.5mm pin. Adjustment is in 0.5mm increments for super fine body positioning.

Figueiredo claims first European title in Estonia

João Figueiredo has claimed his first European Championship title, the personable Portuguese driver also giving his Tekno team its first EFRA title with victory at the eBuggy Euros in Estonia.  Attracting 118 drivers to the RC Rakvere Racetrack, four rounds of qualifying would see Figueiredo take his Hobbywing powered EB48 2.2 to the overall TQ after topping Q2 & 4.  With the second fastest times in Q3 & 4, Mugen Seiki’s Berkan Kilic secured the second spot on the grid ahead of Sparko’s Noha Ben Mohamed who opened qualifying with TQ run but struggled to repeat that form over the remaining three rounds.  Travelling to the 10th running of the 1:8 Electric Buggy Euros chasing a third consecutive title, Team Associated’s Davide Ongaro qualified fourth ahead of Spain’s David Todd who took his Mugen Seiki to a TQ run in the third qualifier.  As the reigning eBuggy World Champion, Marcus Kaerup struggled with the mixed conditions and would just scrap into the A-Main with P13.  In the triple finals, A1 saw Figueiredo lead home Kilic as former double Champion David Ronnefalk came through from 9th to 3rd with his Xray.  In A2, with Kilic in tow Figueiredo had a bobble at the 2 & a half minute mark that handed the lead to the Turkish racer.  Holding that lead for 3-minutes it was Kilic’s turn to have a bobble handing the lead back to the pole sitter but on lap 12 Figueiredo would jump badly and on landing catch a track post that would break his buggy allowing Kilic to cruise to the win ahead of Ongaro and newly crowned European Nitro Buggy Champion Juan Carlos Canas who qualified his Sworkz in P11.  In A3 an early mistake from Figueiredo handed Kilic the lead briefly, but touching in the air shortly after, the Tekno driver was back in front from where he took control of the race to win and claim his first European title.  With Kilic in second, Ongaro completed the podium ahead of Ronnefalk and Kaerup.

Boost RC ‘Hexaflow’ Touring Car Front Bumper

Italian brand Boost RC has introduced a new line of  Boost RC has introduced the new line of innovative ‘Hexaflow’ Front Bumpers.  Available for leading 1:10 Electric Touring Car models, it combines impact protection with aerodynamic performance, transforming a traditionally passive component into an active tuning element for your car.  Unlike conventional bumpers designed solely to absorb impacts, the Hexaflow has been engineered to influence the car’s behaviour at speed.  Developed entirely in-house, the project began as a CAD concept before undergoing multiple stages of prototyping and extensive on-track testing to refine both its mechanical properties and aerodynamic efficiency.  The bumper features a distinctive angled honeycomb structure with through-flow cells that channel airflow across the front section of the chassis. As vehicle speed increases, the airflow management is designed to generate an aerodynamic effect that complements the car’s mechanical setup, offering additional front-end support in faster corners. This opens up new setup possibilities for racers. For example, drivers can optimise the car for greater mechanical grip in slower sections using reduced camber while benefiting from the additional aerodynamic assistance provided by the Hexaflow in high-speed corners.  Rather than replacing traditional setup adjustments, the bumper introduces another tuning parameter that can help maximise overall performance.  Manufactured using high-performance engineering polymer through advanced 3D printing technology, the Hexaflow stands out visually with its honeycomb architecture creates a distinctive motorsport-inspired appearance, complemented by a carbon fibre textured finish on the sides and underside.

Hirosaka KSC Classic 24 1:24 Training Car

Following on from the very well received announcement of its electronic collaboration with ORCA, Hirosaka Racing Products has sent us details of the Hirosaka KSC Classic 24 – The Reborn 1:24 Training Car.  Over nearly ten months, working closely with Masaaki Hirosaka, they have recreated the 1:24 RC car he originally used to train Masami Hirosaka – the very car that, through countless trials and refinements, set his son on the road to world championship glory.  As they mark this milestone 50th anniversary with the recreation of this pioneering spirit, in describing the Hirosaka KSC Classic 24 they state, ‘legends do not always begin on the world’s grandest stages; sometimes, they unfold in a quiet parking lot alongside a single, handmade machine.’  The origins of this machine lie in the very birth of 1:24 RC racing.  It was a class pioneered by Masaaki himself, born from the ingenious idea of ​​designing cars by skilfully repurposing bodies from plastic models and slot cars.  That small spark eventually gave rise to the legendary ABC Hobby “Royal Chassis” and ignited a nationwide craze.  For over two decades, the 1:24 car served as Masami’s most faithful practice vehicle, laying the foundation for the driving prowess that would conquer the world.  Limited to 100 kits, this product will be supported on an ongoing basis with spare parts, replacements, and upgrade option parts, so enthusiasts can enjoy it for years to come.
