Team Bomber has released this optional front suspension arm support plate for their AK12 Series 1:12 chassis. This 1.0mm plate is mounted on the upper side of the front suspension arm to alter and strengthen the carbon lower arm so the twisting of the carbon lower arm and warping during driving are suppressed and strengthened to change the handling characteristics. Depending on the track conditions and layout of the circuit, you can easily apply subtle set-up tweaks to the handling “with plates” and “without plates”. If you insert more than 1mm of spacing between the front suspension mount and the suspension arm, use the included 3×10 screws to the arm mounting.

Creation Model has added two new optional parts for use on their IF15 and IF15W 1:10 onroad nitro chassis.

The belt is especially effective on the IF15W with high grip wide tires. The front upper arm 0.3mm spacers, supplied as a pack of four, can be inserted between the front upper arm holder and the upper deck to fine tune the roll center and camber change rate, enabling smooth and high speed cornering.

These one-piece stiffeners combine very thin carbon rods with the latest 3D Printing technology to provide a feather weight of only 2.5g! The centre is attached with the supplied double sided tape, and the sides with the provided M3 Screws to provide a very lightweight, stiff and easy to install solution.

After the soft launch of in Red and Black X-dot tires and taking the class by storm, they are proud to introduce White dot tires. The White dot is made out of the same rubber as the Red dot but a tiny bit stiffer to prevent chirping on hot days at the Drag Strip, the rubber mixture perfected over a year of R&D at Sweep’s US facility.
