Serpent have entered the M-chassis segment with their Medius X20 Mini 1/10 EP chassis. Taking elements, design features and parts from the its bigger brother, Serpent claim this is the most configurable Mini chassis ever. There are 3 different configurations possible, FWD (Front Wheel Drive), RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) and 4WD, the motor mounting is also adjustable with mid or rear motor positions available. Continuing the crossover of parts from the X20 range, the Mini utilises the V3 composite diff, keeping rolling mass to a minimum whilst maintaining reliability. The single belt 4WD configuration incorporates a CNC aluminium Medius style motor mount giving ultimate adjustment of weight distribution. The wheelbase is also adjustable, in 210mm or 225mm, allowing it to suit the large range of bodyshells available in the class.

Designed using the most advanced CFD software, the new Xtreme Aerodynamics carbon fibre side plates claim to improve car performance on high speed corner. The 0.50mm top quality carbon fibre plate has a profile that allows the optimal flow on the upper side of the wing while cornering thus improving vertical load and making the car more predictable and precise. The external shape helps minimise the side drag effect for better handling in direction change, still maintaining the suction/pressure side well isolated in order to maximise wing performance. Suitable for 1/10 nitro touring cars.

Awesomatix have announced the signing of German touring car specialist and former ETS Champion Martin Hofer to their factory team. Martin will attend all major races including the ETS, Euros and other well known events. Furthermore his urge to perfection will be an additional help for the proactive development of the Awesomatix brand and products. Martin had the following to say about the deal:
I still vividly remember the first race Awesomatix burst onto the ETS stage back in 2011, for it was also my first ETS victory. Back then this little known weird Russian car was all the talk in the pits because it was so radically different. As a curious engineer I have followed their progress ever since and I am very glad to finally make the jump and join the team. I thank everyone at Yokomo and Ronald in particular for the amazing time. As this year of change concludes I feel excited again and cannot wait to see everyone at the races. Stay healthy.

From Schumacher for their Atom 2 is their new top deck conversion which offers increased chassis stiffness. This new option part has the ability to achieve both improved rotation and corner speed. It does this while also offering improved stability and drivability, particularly in high traction conditions. Although different parts, they first brought and developed this concept for the 1/12 Eclipse range of cars, with fantastic results, transferring fantastically into GT12 too. Two versions are available for the steel alloy chassis and for the carbon chassis.
