IGT8 Serpent 1/8th DAO drag assisted one-way

Coming from IGT8 and made for Serpent 1/8th scale cars is the DAO drag assisted one-way set. The system works with silicone oil to increase the internal friction that slows down the motion of the front wheels when being off throttle. This effect will improve braking, steering at corner entry and it will also help with more consistency and faster lap times. Tested extensively by the IGT8 team, the DAO was officially debuted at the 2019 US Nitro Cup with great results as Paolo Morganti took the TQ in the 1/8th class and Rafael Angulo finished 3rd while Ricardo Garri won the Master class.

RC Atomic FFZV2 FWD Pro mini-size kit

RC Atomic have introduced their new FFZV2 FWD Pro mini-size chassis kit for 98mm Mini-Z body shells. After the release and success of the first generation FFZ, RC Atomic have refined the design and specification to make the chassis more suitable for high traction conditions such as found on RCP or EVA foam tracks. In addition the car offers very easy driving characteristics, making it more user friendly while performance is only a little bit under a 4WD machine. New to the FFZV2 are redesigned front arms and knuckles for increased stability in longitudinal direction with the rear suspension featuring new arm mounts and the rear UTS upper T-arm system that will increase rear suspension rigidity and side bite. The car is based on a new, wide chassis that is ideal for high-bite tracks while a redesigned ball differential ensures easy building and swift adjustment. The kit is rounded out by new plastic ball cups, new bulkheads and new shock towers and it fits all 98mm wheelbase Kyosho Mini-Z-style body shells.

Yokomo introduce new BD10 & YZ-4SF2 optionals

Available now from Yokomo are new optional parts for the BD10 touring car and the YZ-4SF2 4WD buggy. Starting with the BD10, the rear belt tensioner is a simple yet effective part that attaches to the rear chassis cross brace, touching the belt from underneath in order to prevent it from skipping on the rear differential gear under load. The result is improved belt life especially when running modified motors. The set includes the machined aluminium belt tensioner, a ball race, shims and screws.

RC Maker low-profile front body stabiliser

Coming from RC Maker is their innovative new shock tower attachment that increases the body’s downforce transfer to the car, whilst also preventing bodyshell flex and roll, causing scrubbing in the wheel arches. With modern body shells being low and thin, the downforce generated by the bodyshell isn’t effectively transferred to the car due to the flex of the body, especially in the front-mid section. The front body stabiliser transfers the downforce directly into the top of the front shocks, increasing the car’s steering in corners, and stability on the straights. As well as this, they prevent the body rolling onto the outside tyre in cornering, effectively preventing wheel arch rubbing as the front body stabiliser helps prevent the bodyshell rolling during cornering, by supporting it widely over the wheel arches. The stabilisers are adjustable in height, and can be further adjusted by adding foam on top of the platform. They fit all modern low profile shock touring cars such as the Xray T4’20, Yokomo BD10, Infinity IF14-2, ARC R12, Schumacher Mi7 and more, and are an optimised fit for the latest bodies from Xtreme, ZooRacing, Bittydesign and Protoform.
