Further expanding their 3D Print Crystal surface tool collection box series, Takashima D-13 is now offering a solution for the Hudy 1:8 Set-up System.

Thai 1:28 manufacturer G-Force Racing has introduced this LRS Front (Long Arm Suspension) for its GP-1 kit which it released last November. It is designed to elevate the chassis performance with improved stability, smoother steering response, and enhanced front-end grip, especially under high-speed cornering and technical sections. By extending the arm length, LRS optimises suspension geometry, reducing twitchiness while increasing control and consistency. The result is a more predictable driving feel that allows drivers to push harder with confidence. Built for compatibility with modern 1:28 platforms, the LRS system integrates seamlessly with high-performance components while maintaining a lightweight and durable structure.

New from Marc Rheinard’s MR33 brand is this Y-Type 2.0mm Carbon Topdeck for the Awesomatix A800RR Electric Touring Car. Due to it’s very different shape, it changes the flex characteristics and is highly recommended when running a steel chassis. The top deck can be fitted at both the front and rear, opening up new tuning options when it comes to the overall flex of the car.

Having unveiled the car to the world at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany at the end of January, with the actual release of the kit nearing Tamiya has released official images and details for their latest competition 1:10 Electric Touring Car. While we have since photographed the TRF421X of Souta Goto at the legendary TITC race in Fenruary, where the Japanese driver showed its capabilities by putting the car in the A-Main, official photographs from Tamiya always get the iconic brand’s world wide fan base excited. While Tamiya don’t officially have a pro TRF race team like they once had, the TRF421X will sell itself with the Japanese manufacturer announcing the kits will be ‘On sale around May 30, 2026’. Unlike other manufacturer’s in touring car, Tamiya don’t do big galleries!
Following growing recognition from factory drivers and racers, Takashima D-13 continues to expand its spring steel chassis plate lineup with the introduction of a new version for the Team Associated TC8 1:10 Electric Touring Car. The chassis is available in two variants: a 1.1mm version for stock racing and a 1.2mm option for modified classes, both designed to offer increased flex characteristics combined with high overall strength. In addition, the chassis features an extra locating pin hole. When used with the Takashima D-13 servo mount, the mounting system is upgraded from the standard one pin and two screws to a more secure two pins and two screws configuration. Compared to the kit standard setup, this significantly improves the rigidity of the TC8 servo mount, reducing the risk of movement or deformation. The chassis remains fully compatible with the original servo mount, giving users greater flexibility in setup choices.
Continuing its roll out of option parts for its newly released Quantum 1:8 Onroad Nitro chassis, Italian manufacturer Capricorn has released this new central mounting block. A high-precision CNC-machined brass component, it is designed to increase the stiffness of the central chassis area and optimise mass distribution, resulting in more stable and consistent on-track performance.
