KM Racing NT1 Middle Shaft Mount

KM Racing have released their latest product, this middle shaft mount for the Xray NT1 as developed by 2006 IFMAR Pre-World Champion Mr. Hung Cheung Hang. The new design enhances the strength of this part while preventing flex in this area of the car which is under a lot of pressure where the cars belts meet. This lightweight aluminium part also reduces vibrations and is designed with 2 muffler linkage holes to allow you to easily and optimally mount your exhaust system.

Hyperdrive Racing 1/12th scale chassis

Hyperdrive Racing have shown pictures of their new 1/12th scale chassis which is a T-plate car and features a thick carbon fibre chassis, which is heavily suited to carpet racing. The design of the rear of the car ensures that the latest brushless motors fit in with ease, so much so that they can be removed from or inserted into the car without taking off the rear block or even the wheel.

Released with these shocks are a number of new pistons and also new shock springs that have a larger diameter to fit on the new shock bodies and they are available in purple (look blue to me) and light green for both the front and rear. For the V-One RRR there is a new front solid axle giving racers a wider variety of setup options to suit different track layouts.

Team Magic E4 touring car

You may remember a long time ago that Team Magic announced that they were going to enter the electric touring car market with, what was at the time and still is, a rather unconventional looking car. Well that car has been seen testing recently, in preparation for its pending release and from what we can see it retains the same 3 belt layout but has a number of changes from the prototype we saw previously, such as the upper bracket and changes to the front of the car, perhaps to make it simpler. The car retains its central battery mount, similar to the Losi JRX-S Type R, and has been kept extremely low which is one of the things i did really like about the car. Release date is not yet known, but the car in the pictures appears to have production parts on it, so expect it soon.
