JConcepts RM2 thread lock adhesive

Securing metal to metal components during build and assembly is something every racer experiences on a routine basis. The RM2 thread locking compound is an easy addition to the arsenal of pit accessories for building and maintenance of an RC vehicle. For screws, it’s simple to add a liberal amount of RM2 adhesive to threaded area and roll against a mechanical towel or JC microfiber towel to even out the application.

Infinity IF14-2 flex shock towers

For the Infinity IF14-2, Creation Model have released a new line of flex shock towers. By reducing the rigidity of the shock tower connecting point to the upper bulkhead, the stiffness around the bulkhead section is reduced and the overall chassis flex is increased. 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.

2021 Midland Indoor Carpet Championship Rd3 – Report

The team returned to Telford Tennis centre for the third round of the 2021/2022 MICC championship this past weekend. A nice mix of flowing corners and technical corners on the track created some great racing all through the field. The track is unchanged in size at a whopping 38 meter by 24 meter on the popular ETS Black carpet. There is lots of grip and plenty of space around the lap which makes it much easier to pass cars and let cars pass you during qualifying. The touring car classes all use the very popular Volante 28 MICC spec tyre (1 set per day) and the F1 class uses the Pit Shimizu (Schumacher versions) 571 and 575 tyres. Control additive is supplied for all racers free of charge and is the CS high grip variant.

Bittydesign Hiberya-M 1/10 M-chassis body

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.
