Rêve D RDX Rear A-Arm System

Japanese Drift RC car specialists Team Rêve D has announced the released of their long-awaited Rear A-Arm System for its RDX drift chassis. Engineered to deliver exceptional cornering performance and traction, this upgrade transforms the RDX’s rear suspension into an A-arm setup, allowing full adjustability of vehicle width, camber, caster, roll centre, and even bump-induced toe changes. This greatly expands the range of setup options available allowing you to experience greater control during corner exits with enhanced kick, charge, and release dynamics. The system supports faster throttle response during drift transitions, enabling you to fine-tune performance based on surface conditions, track layout, and your unique driving style. The initial settings are based on a well-balanced setup developed by Team Rêve D’s Takahiro, in collaboration with Akira Tayui and Hodaka Ishijima, both of whom bring years of competitive A-arm experience.

Serpent SRX8GT R 1:8 GT Nitro Car

With the IFMAR 1:8 GT World Championships coming up next month in Chile, Serpent has announced its latest 1:8 Nitro GT challenger, the SRX8GT R. The new car represents the next step in the evolution of the SRX8GT ’23 and has come about following invaluable contributions from factory driver and newly crowned Italian National Champion Andrea Catanzani and his father, Roberto. Serpent has refined the suspension geometry, transmission, and adjustability to optimise performance. New features of the SRX8GT R include an in-line drivetrain, commonly referred to by racers as straight transmission. This innovation significantly enhances transmission efficiency and was essentially an obvious choice to implement. To facilitate the In-line drivetrain, a new chassis was essential. After relocating all the major components, Serpent also seized the opportunity to enhance the flex characteristics. The new chassis is 4mm thick in most areas and is designed without side dams. It offers the ideal flex for a race car that is both fast and easy to handle. You can also adjust the rear flex by adding a small stiffener plate beneath the rear transmission. An optional 3mm chassis is available with distinct flex characteristics, which can enhance performance on specific tracks.
