We received a mail this morning from Racing Art in Germany with lots of new parts for the TOP Scythe, a car that we mentioned briefly in the past. In the list of products was this new 3.5mm thick carbon fibre chassis plate, specifically deisgned for US carpet racing, which features machining on the the top side to lower the car while still benefiting from the stiffer chassis. Also in the mail was new low profile shock towers, also made from 3.5mm carbon fibre, as well as anodised aluminium spools, differentials, hub protectors and CVD shafts, all available in red or gold to suit your original car of choice.
