Ielasi Tuned Pista, GranTurismo, and Corsa 1:8 Onroad Engines

Fresh from a 1-2 finish at the Euro Nitro Series in Austria for its new ‘Pista’ engine, Ielasi Tuned has announced its new line-up of 1:8 Onroad engines – the Pista, GranTurismo, and Corsa.  The new engines mark the beginning of a new chapter, ending the previous series of engines called GP9-GP3-GP5.  This choice has a technical reason, as the PISTA engine in particular features radical changes, as 90% of the engine is entirely made under Ielasi Tuned guidelines and designs.  Unlike before, the finishing touches, especially in the piston/sleeve matching, are now completed by us with our machine and no longer by Japan’s O.S as in the past.  Ielasi Tuned will over the coming days go into more detail engine by engine with all the technical specifications and differences compared to previous versions.

Serpent 426 Outlaw RTR 1:7 4WD EP

Best known for its pioneering development of the F1 of RC Racing, 1:8 Onroad – their latest Viper 990R due for release shortly, Serpent has entered the big scale RTR market with the release of their 426 Outlaw 1:7 Electric RTR.  Inspired by the iconic American muscle cars of the 60s, Serpent say the 426 Outlaw combines raw retro attitude with cutting-edge engineering to deliver a street machine that’s as fierce as it is fast.  Powered by a brutal 6S brushless system, built on a race-bred platform, and dressed in wide body aggression, the Outlaw is designed for high-speed domination — whether you’re street bashing, drag racing, or just turning heads at full throttle.  With its wide body Lexan shell, super grip tires, and hood-mounted supercharger, the Outlaw is a visual callback to the golden era of Detroit muscle — but it’s built with modern performance in mind.  It’s aerodynamically tested underbody and high-efficiency rear diffuser deliver the high-speed stability you need when drag racing or street shredding.  Customise the look with optional hood scoop variations — including a matte black classic scoop or a stacked manifold intake — to dial in your vibe and make your outlaw truly your own.  The 426 Outlaw is more than just Serpent’s street entry, it’s a full-scale rebellion in 1:7 scale.

RC Maker SP1 | SP1F Optional Alu Chassis’

Australian Touring Car manufacturer RC Maker has released new optional aluminium chassis’ for both its SP1 and front wheel drive SP1F.  Both made from 7075 T6 Aluminium with black anodising, the 1.5mm chassis for the SP1 has been developed extensively over several months of testing with team drivers on a variety of classes and surfaces.  It has proven to be a great middle ground which works well on a very large range of surfaces, from low grip asphalt, to high grip carpet.  Compared to the 2.0mm Aluminium Chassis, the 72-gram 1.5mm option allows more rotation, and makes the car more free in the corner.  The overall stiffness of the chassis is comparable to the hard carbon chassis, however being 0.75mm thinner, the centre of gravity is substantially reduced.  110 degree screws are required to install this chassis, the standard 90 degree kit screws not fitting.  An optional for the SP1-F, the 2.0mm Aluminium Chassis is a great option for carpet racing.  The chassis offers a more forwards weight bias, as well as a very stiff front, and flexible rear thanks to the many cut-outs in the rear section of the chassis for optimal flex characteristics. This increases corner speed and keeps the car sitting flatter under high load cornering.  Weighing 80-grams, this chassis uses the standard screws included in the kit.
