Tamiya F104 Pro chassis

Tamiya have released details of the follow up to their ultra successful F103 chassis, with the release of the F104 Pro. Following the theme seen in HPI’s launch of the Formula Ten, the F104 pro, has an ultra realistic body shell and front and rear wings, and it too is based on last years F1 cars. It is of course a rear wheel drive, with drive direct from the motor and has the battery pack mounted along the centre line of the chassis and the whole layout seems very compact. The car features a carbon upper deck and rear shaft and has lots of blue anodized TRF performance parts as standard, including the car’s centrally mounted shock absorber. Another great looking entry into this class.

Novarossi 9901 Super Strong Tuned pipe

A lot of buggy racers like to use the Novarossi EFRA 9901 tuned pipe due to his good mileage and power, but with the rough nature of this class it can be difficult for any tuned pipe to stay free from damage. A damaged tuned pipe will hurt your performance and can be costly to repair to replace, so today the Italian company have finished work on a new EFRA 9901 Super Strong tuned pipe, which requires some serious effort to damage it. A very positive side effect from making this pipe is that it vibrates at a different frequency, thus making less noise then the normal 9901. Fully compliant with the latest EFRA regulations for competition use its available trough the usual distribution channels.
