When used up front it can result in a calmer initial steering response with the reduction in initial stiffness helps smooth out cornering and can help reduce tyre wear. In the rear it allows for smoother rear rotation. The rear tower comes in regular and horizontal body post versions.

Bittydesign have released their 3rd body shell for the 1/10 M-chassis class. Having recently launched the Hiberya 190mm FWD body, today they introduced the Hiberya-M for the 1/10 Mini class. The shapes are inspired by a real car racing in the TCR championship and have been adapted to the proportions and measurements necessary for use with the most common M-chassis models on the market. The design phase took several months to finish every single detail, the attention to detail was obsessive in order to propose a body that could optimise aerodynamics and at the same time remain true in its proportions and aesthetics.

Zuykov 1/10 TC setup station

Zuykov, new brand of Russian TC driver Denis Zuykov have released amongst other things, this TC setup station. The idea behind this product is that the kit contains everything you need to set up your car including camber, caster, toe, EPA, droop and ride height. The scale for the camber setting is not at the bottom as usual, but at the top of the setup wheel. This scale is closer to the eyes and its location is much more convenient. Each setup wheel uses 2 bearings for a smooth movement and a scale at the top allows for minimal movement of the bottom over the setup board, greatly increasing accuracy. The top plate can be used on cars up to 210mm wide, adjustable from 40mm out to 40mm in. For owners of Awesomatix A800 the kit includes measuring caster blocks. Thanks to the scale on the side of the setup wheel, the caster and camber can be adjusted simultaneously without the need for a calipers. To change the length of the turnbuckle, there is a 3mm and 4mm wrench in the box.
