Having unveiled their ALF1 ’26 1:10 Formula 1 Chassis Kit in December, Californian based ALF1 Racing Designs has released two upgrade parts for the car in the form of a carbon fibre Battery Mount and Damper Plate. Replacing the standard plastic parts for a stronger, lighter, and more premium build, the Battery Mount offers better rigidity than plastic, ensuring your battery stays locked in place. With both items direct fit upgrades, they are precision-cut for a perfect drop-in fit with no modifications needed. The carbon fibre Damper Plate reduces component flex for more predictable damping and handling.

Picco Monza-X 10-Port 1:8 Onroad Engine

Italian engine manufacturer Picco has unveiled their all-new Monza-X .21 1:8 onroad competition engine. Describing it as the latest expression of their high-end racing philosophy for the 1:8 onroad competition class, it is the result of decades of hands-on experience in precision manufacturing, advanced material selection, and surface treatment technologies, combined with an intensive development program carried out throughout the 2025 racing season. At the heart of the Monza-X lies an all-new, exclusive 10-port cylinder, entirely developed in-house. Its port layout and internal geometry are the result of extensive fluid-dynamics studies and track validation, providing a substantial increase in power output while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency and thermal stability. The long-stroke architecture has been carefully engineered to generate strong and consistent torque across the entire RPM range, resulting in outstanding drivability, immediate throttle response, and superior acceleration out of corners. Supplied with an 8.5 mm venturi, to ensure long-term durability and mechanical efficiency, the engine features a DLC-coated crankshaft, specifically treated to minimise friction, reduce wear, and protect against oxidation. The rotating assembly is completed by a 14 mm rear Swiss ceramic ball bearing and a meticulously aligned knife-edged aerodynamic connecting rod, designed to reduce turbulence and mechanical losses at high RPM.

Fenix Racing ‘Etna’ Pro10 Body

New from Italy’s Fenix Racing comes their latest Pro10 body called the ‘Etna’. Its design has been completely developed using one of the most advanced CAD systems available and its mold ensures unparalleled symmetries thanks to the use of 6-axis CNC. Particular care has been taken in designing a bodywork that suit drivers of all levels. The Fenix Racing Etna explores the possibility of customising the front aerodynamics of the body shell and for the very first time, ‘canards’ front wings can be used to tune the front of the model. Front canards can be used to improve stability and maneuverability, giving Etna an unique agility in the class. Etna is available in 0.5mm and 0.75mm crystal clear lexan and it’s made to fit most popular 235 Pro10 models.

Mikimodel MS2.0 Arm Conversion Kit

Italian Yokomo distributor Mikimodel has released this Arm Conversion Kit for the Japanese manufacturer’s MS2.0 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Under its Mikimodel Special Parts and after months of development the long and painstaking project has resulted in the new arms with adjustable camber and caster. The arms were chosen to provide greater stability than traditional tie rods. Mikimodel say the classic tie rod system causes a continuous change in caster throughout the ride, resulting in a loss of feeling when riding. However, this way everything remains much more stable and the ride is much, much safer! The project took so long precisely because they wanted to be sure that the system could be robust and reliable. The arms are very strong, durable, and flex-free, allowing for much more precise and stable handling on the run. Camber can be adjusted with a simple 1.5 mm wrench, while caster requires replacing a simple carbon plate. Caster comes standard with 4 degrees of front and 2 degrees of rear. Optionally, they can be adjusted to 3.5 degrees at the rear and 5 degrees at the front.

Xray X4 ’26 1.2mm Spring Steel Chassis

Xray has released for its X4 ’26 1:10 Electric Touring Car this 1.2mm thick steel chassis made from world-renowned Hudy Spring Steel material. Creating unique handling characteristics and outstanding durability, it is suitable for medium to high traction carpet & high traction asphalt tracks. The increased weight makes for an ultra-low CG, which improves stability and consistency in all conditions. The car will be especially stable over curbs and dots with traction rolling tendencies significantly decreased. The narrow chassis is 84mm wide with tapered bottom edge of the chassis to reduce contact between the chassis and the ground during cornering to improve speed.
