Fenix Racing introduce new rear links for the Suzu-ka formula 1 conversion kit. The parts are machined from a hybrid CSC material to make for a more reactive spring feeling compared to the standard carbon fibre material making for improved control over the rear end.

Bittydesign have introduced the Nardò 190mm touring car bodyshell. Tested and developed for several months in Italy by their official development team together with German and Finnish team drivers the final result is a bodyshell with different recognisable features, in particular the front and rear tyres area. Testing has shown that the body gives lots of steering on corner entry but at same time plenty of grip and speed in the second part of the turn along with stability under acceleration. Made to meet EFRA specs, it is expected to receive its homologation number in January. Made from 0.75mm thick high quality polycarbonate, the body comes with a complete set of large plastic washers to fix the rear wing perfectly along with steel screws & nuts. Expect the product to arrive at distributors in the next 10 days.

Available soon from Exotek is the F1R2 Pro conversion kit for the Tamiya F104 and F103. The follow-up model of the F1R received a make-over in order to create a chassis that is not overly complex but strong and consistent. The chassis kit makes use of what Exotek call a hybrid link technology, it basically combines all positive aspects of the classical T-bar suspension with the responsiveness and tuning possibilities of a link-type car to create a platform with improved bump absorption capabilities making it ideal for rubber tyre racing. The new rear pod geometry makes for more progressive damping and increased forward bite while the new twin side dampers allow for equal side-to-side dampening.

Team C have new option parts for the TC10 electric touring car available in the form of dual joint driveshafts, optional pistons and additional springs. First up are the driveshafts that are of a dual joint design to reduce friction and wheel chatter during hard cornering. They feature strong retaining clips for the cross pins and come including two 5x10x3mm orange seal ball bearings. Also new are machined 4-hole pistons for the TC10’s low profile shocks. They come as 4-piece set and are an addition to the existing range of pistons. Last but not least are the 28n shock springs that extend the recently introduced range of springs. The 20mm long parts are made from 1.4mm spring steel and not only fit the TC10’s shock absorbers but also many of today’s “low profile” touring car dampers.
