Muchmore Racing have announced that current 3-time IFMAR ISTC and 2014 IFMAR 1:12 World Champion Marc Rheinard has renewed his contract with the Asian firm and that he will be also using Muchmore’s line of competition batteries from 2015, having used Thunder Power batteries for several years now. Marc, who already uses Muchmore’s electric brushless motors, speed controllers and chargers, had the following to say about the deal:

I would like to thanks Thunder Power LiPo batteries for their great support over the last years. Now is time for a change. As I’m already using the new Muchmore Racing Fleta ZX motors and Fleta ESC I made the decision to use all electric products from Muchmore Racing. I’m really happy with all Muchmore Racing products, quality, design and technical support … all is perfect and we work as a Team perfect together. Big thanks to Mr. Jang who gives me the opportunity to use the new Muchmore Racing Impact FD2 LiPo, Fleta ESC and Fleta ZX Motors in the future.

EX Lab BD7 2015 aluminium main chassis

Excellence Laboratory or EX Lab in short is a new company specialised in designing and manufacturing premium option parts for competition touring cars. Available for pre-order now is EX Lab’s first product, a special aluminium main chassis for the Yokomo BD7 2015. Milled side sections lower the battery pack and electronics by 1mm for an overall lower centre of gravity which can reduce body roll on high-traction surfaces while making the car easier to drive at the same time. The amount of cutouts in the chassis also shifts the weight distribution towards the front for improved rear stability. Additionally the chassis helps with heat dissipation from the motor while being super rigid at the same time without sacrificing forward traction and corner speed. EX Lab will have more option parts available soon for touring cars such as Xray T4 2015 and the Awesomatix A700 Evo2. Currently EX Lab is working on their website which should be up soon.
