MIP 4-10 Legend Kit

New from renowned California based tool manufacturer MIP comes the release of the MIP 4-10 Legend kit, a conversion that preserves the character that made the original so special while delivering smoother acceleration, better consistency, and improved longevity. Whether you’re restoring a shelf-queen, building a period-correct racer, or running your Team Associated RC10 hard, this conversion brings classic innovation back to life. Over the past year and a half, MIP has gone back to its roots immersing itself in the nostalgic world of vintage RC racing, reconnecting with the community that helped shape its identity. The Eustace Moore run company say the MIP 4-10 Legend (2026 Edition) ‘is not a reissue. This is a resurrection.’ Every detail has been carefully revisited, refined, and reimagined blending the unmistakable DNA of the original with modern engineering, materials, and precision manufacturing. The result is a bespoke, retro-compatible kit that honours the past while performing in the present. All new tooling, programming and manufacturing processes were applied using the current twenty first century MIP while staying a true to what and how we created the MIP 4-10 Legend in the 80’s. Modern materials and updated heat treating mean stronger, more consistent alloys improve durability and reduce long-term wear, even under today’s higher-grip tracks and power systems. Tighter machining tolerances mean improved precision results in smoother drivetrain operation, reduced slop, and more predictable power delivery. Known load points were strengthened based on real-world racing experience, increasing reliability without compromising performance. Few RC platforms are as iconic as the Team Associated RC10. The original MIP 4-10 Conversion for the R10 buggy was created to do one thing exceptionally well: transform a legendary 2WD platform into something more aggressive, more planted, and more capable. It delivered increased traction, improved drivability, and a completely different feel that racers still remember today. Decades later, the demand never disappeared and the MIP 4-10 Conversion for the RC10 returns re-released with modern improvements while staying true to the spirit of the original.

Takashima D-13 enters Titanium Chassis production

Takashima D-13 has announced that it has successfully completed the development and production of its first titanium chassis plates, marking another milestone in the company’s expanding range of premium chassis options. Machined from high-grade titanium alloy, the new chassis combines exceptional strength with low weight, offering a unique balance of rigidity and controlled chassis flex. The excellent strength-to-weight ratio allows the chassis to maintain high structural stability while lowering the overall centre of gravity, resulting in more predictable handling and improved consistency throughout a race. For stock-class touring car racing, where carrying corner speed and maintaining momentum are critical, the lower centre of gravity helps reduce chassis roll and improves direction changes, while the controlled flex characteristics provide excellent mid-corner stability and consistent rear traction. The result is a chassis that is easy to drive, highly repeatable and capable of delivering consistent lap times over long race durations. In addition to its on-track performance, titanium offers outstanding corrosion resistance and excellent fatigue durability, ensuring long-term reliability even under demanding racing conditions. With the successful introduction of its titanium manufacturing capability, Takashima D-13 plans to gradually expand the range with titanium chassis options for a variety of popular touring car platforms. The new titanium series will complement the company’s existing chassis lineup, giving racers another premium material choice and even greater setup possibilities for different track conditions and driving styles.

Capricorn GT2 Upgrade Kit 2026

Capricorn has announced the upcoming release of a new GT2 2026 Upgrade Kit designed to update their 2025 GT2 1:8 Nitro GT competition cat to the latest 2026 specifications. The kit includes a wide range of new components, including the new chassis, developed in accordance with the 2026 regulations. The main updates include a wheelbase that has been shortened by 2 mm for improved responsiveness and precision and a new straight front chassis design, fully compliant with the 2026 regulations. The GT2 2026 also gets revised weight distribution for an even better overall balance. A new radio plate has been optimised for improved servo installation and steering precision with a new, larger receiver box, making receiver installation and cable routing easier and cleaner. The Italian manufacturer say track testing and the latest race have confirmed that these updates represent another significant step forward from the already highly successful 2025 GT2. The car is now even easier to drive, more consistent and more predictable, allowing drivers of all levels to extract its full potential with confidence. The GT2 2026 Upgrade Kit will be available soon for all current 2025 GT2 owners while customers who prefer to purchase a complete new car, the GT2 2026, this kit will be available at the end of July.

Boost RC ‘Hexaflow’ Touring Car Front Bumper

Italian brand Boost RC has introduced a new line of Boost RC has introduced the new line of innovative ‘Hexaflow’ Front Bumpers. Available for leading 1:10 Electric Touring Car models, it combines impact protection with aerodynamic performance, transforming a traditionally passive component into an active tuning element for your car. Unlike conventional bumpers designed solely to absorb impacts, the Hexaflow has been engineered to influence the car’s behaviour at speed. Developed entirely in-house, the project began as a CAD concept before undergoing multiple stages of prototyping and extensive on-track testing to refine both its mechanical properties and aerodynamic efficiency. The bumper features a distinctive angled honeycomb structure with through-flow cells that channel airflow across the front section of the chassis. As vehicle speed increases, the airflow management is designed to generate an aerodynamic effect that complements the car’s mechanical setup, offering additional front-end support in faster corners. This opens up new setup possibilities for racers. For example, drivers can optimise the car for greater mechanical grip in slower sections using reduced camber while benefiting from the additional aerodynamic assistance provided by the Hexaflow in high-speed corners. Rather than replacing traditional setup adjustments, the bumper introduces another tuning parameter that can help maximise overall performance. Manufactured using high-performance engineering polymer through advanced 3D printing technology, the Hexaflow stands out visually with its honeycomb architecture creates a distinctive motorsport-inspired appearance, complemented by a carbon fibre textured finish on the sides and underside.

Ultimate Racing MBX8R Rear Offset Kit

New from Ultimate Racing, the brand of Spanish Mugen Seiki distributor Modelix Racing, comes this Rear Offset Kit for the MBX8R 1:8 Buggy. Developed to optimise rear suspension geometry, this upgrade follows the setup philosophy used by today’s top factory teams, delivering more rear grip, improved stability, and a more forgiving car in changing track conditions. Thanks to the wider offset the rear traction is increased and you get a flatter rear suspension under acceleration. The set also gives more predictable handling and better consistency when track grip changes.
