TestLogger Collector Mini v1.1 and new Midi

Finnish RC data company TestLogger, who are behind the Manager v3 software, has launched two data logging main units for RC cars. The Collector Mini v1.1 adds a second analog input while keeping the same dimensions and the same price as the original Mini while the Collector Midi is a new unit with six analog inputs. Both come with an improved lap receiver that can be mounted behind a painted bodyshell. The two units also carry more measurement capacity than the ones they follow, and that is the first step in expanding the Collector portfolio’s measurement capabilities, including damper position sensors in the coming weeks. The Collector Mini v1.1 has two analog inputs, one more than the original Mini. Analog inputs take TestLogger’s temperature and voltage sensors, so a second sensor goes on the car without giving anything up to make room for it. The main unit dimensions are unchanged, so existing installations, mounts and wiring carry over, and the price is unchanged as well. Collector Midi has six analog inputs, four more than the Mini v1.1. Despite the increased amount of inputs, the footprint is only 5 mm longer. Everything else in the system, from the software to the sensors, is shared with the Mini.

Revolution Design B7.1 Alu Caster Block Set

New from Revolution Design comes this Aluminium Caster Block Set for the Team Associated B7.1 1:10 2WD Buggy. The upgrade part directly replaces the original plastic part and, thanks to its extremely stiff construction from high-quality 7075 aluminium, offers noticeably more precise steering – a crucial advantage, especially on high-grip tracks. In addition to the increased stability, the set scores with an optimised geometry: The orientation of the ball stud has been changed and now points forward. This ensures a significantly freer suspension movement under load. Another positive side effect of this smart design is the simpler assembly, which also saves weight. Since the screws and the carbon plate for mounting the ball stud are no longer needed, you save valuable weight in a crucial area. Additionally, the system offers maximum flexibility for your setup: The ball stud position can now be adjusted cleverly and easily via an included insert. Precision-machined and elegantly black anodised as a final visual touch they feature a silver chamfer.

JConcepts Cat PB Dragonator body

Having brought back a little of the 2000’s look to 1:10 offroad buggy racing with the release of the Dragonator body shell, JConcepts has added a variant for the latest Schumacher Cat PB 1:10 4WD Buggy. The new body is heavily inspired by the early 2000’s dynamo. With the 1:10 buggy class is ruled primary by JConcepts performance bodies such as the S2, F2, P2, and S15, for the new season of offroad racing Jason Ruona and his Florida company got a bit more creative and sculpted this angular shell stating the ‘Cab forward, cab rearward, the debate lives on, but the Dragonator is something different’. A good portion of the new shell is all cab, the narrow front develops width as it reaches the rear, up to a specialty fin where it picks up stability. The long swooping side windows provide an aggressive stance that all converges to the front like an arrow. The power pods are raised in advanced territory directing and channeling flow over the centre of the chassis and through to the rear. The heavy inner edge of the power pods is a hard stop but ultimately the defining concept of the new item. The decreasing radius portion of the back of the cab is unique, created to ride low-profile on the track surface and equalise the front to rear bias of the all-cab concept. Stepped rear “doghouse” serves as the termination point of the windows and positions it just before the rear tower. The body arrives as clear polycarbonate with protective film and is available in standard formed thickness.
