Tamiya Group C Series – Announcement

It is great to see a number of new grass roots level RC series being created and the latest one involves former Red RC photographer Riccardo Acciari who is involved in the creation of the Tamiya Group C Series in his home country of Italy. Round 1 of the all new series will be held October 19th on the wonderful Vallelunga RC track, nested inside the famous full scale racetrack. The debut race will kick off the inaugural five race championship that will span over the whole racing season, with the season finale taking place on June 21st. Based off the re-issued Tamiya Group C car, the class aims for simplicity and affordability, without losing its competitiveness. The essential chassis is powered by a handout 17.5 EFRA list motor and shod by handout foam tires custom made by Italian tire manufacturer Enneti. The Porsche 956, Mercedes C11, Nissan R90C and Mazda 787-B bodies will have to be painted in a realistic livery that actually competed in the Group C era (from 1982 to 1983). With 32 drivers who have already entered the Championship, the aim is to expand the format to other areas in Italy and create a network with other organisers around Europe.

Team Associated RC10T7 & RC10SC7 Team Kits

Team Associated has released their latest 1:10 Truck and Short Course kits, the RC10T7 & RC10SC7 Team Kits. Both based on Team Associated’s RC10B7 platform, the Team Kits are the next iteration of the successful truck and short course truck platforms. Design goals were to lower CG, add durability, and incorporate the RC10B7 adjustability and performance. Engineers inside Team Associated’s Area 51 first priority was the design of the new 3-gear laydown transmission to reduce drag and transfer all of the power to the larger tyres. Both kits shares key components with the RC10B7 and RC10B7D Team Kits, making it easier than ever to run multiple classes at the same time. The primary suspension update is to lower the CG with shorter 25mm long front and 31mm long rear 13mm big bore shocks. The new chassis design is a stronger truck version of the RC10B7 buggy design and gets a new truck specific gull wing long arm suspension to improve grip and predictability in all conditions. On top of that, the kit includes updated zero KPI steering blocks and updated caster blocks, along with the legacy B7 features for tuning the front end feel. The new steel front inner hinge pin brace and updated B7 V2 caster block add to front end durability. The new RC10T7 offers the same mounting locations along with anti-roll bar hardware as the RC10B7 while pairing nicely with wide mount anti-roll bars that fit the new suspension arms.
