Cyclops have an updated line of tyre gluing accessories available. The purple medium glue is a 100cst viscosity product and after demand from customers the glue is now available in a new, improved bottle. New to the line is the blue thin glue of 25cst viscosity that offers the same elasticity and bonding capabilities as the original purple formula but is thinner allowing the chemical to penetrate gaps faster and also to dry faster. Last but not least is the Cyclops primer which is used to prime the surface of both the tyre and rim for perfect bond. It also is a surface cleaner used instead of ammonia, alcohol or break cleaner. 1/10 EP touring car drivers have also found in many case the primer/cleaner to be used as a tyre additive or as a primer agent for the additive.

Tamiya introduce two new kits based on their TT-02 entry-level 4WD touring car. First up is the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI, the kit resembles the Jägermeister car that was run in the 1994 German Touring Car Championship. The kit builds on a plastic tub chassis with 4WD shaft transmission, gear differentials and in-line motor position. The highly detailed body comes with a separate rear wing and a large decal sheet while the wheels are OZ replicas with grippy slick tyres. The second new kit is the TT-02D drift chassis. It builds on the standard TT-02 and includes ball bearings, a special battery hold-down, aluminium motor heatsink, oil-filled shock absorbers and drift-spec tyres and wheels. Coming without a bodyshell nearly all 190mm and 200mm bodies should fit. Both cars will become available beginning of 2014.

McPappy Racing has just released the latest McDominator in the Adam Liehr Edition. This chassis was designed for the use with the Savox SH-1250MG servo using the optionally available McPappy Savox servo case that is flush with the bottom of the chassis. Dropping it this low completely solves bumpsteer while running a flat servo plus it also lowers the centre of gravity. Since there is only a single 10″ wheelbase option, McPappy stretched the chassis right up to the LF wheel which allows another half piece of tungsten to adjust weight bias making it the chassis with the most tungsten options.
