Atomic MRX ‘Master Edition’ 1:28 pan car

1:28 specialist manufacturer RC Atomic is kicking of 2025 with the release of the MRX ‘Master Edition’ chassis kit. Based on the double PNWC 2024 title winning chassis MRX, the Hong Kong manufacturer has further refined the design of the car and made the centre of gravity extremely low. This kit allows users to choose between from the traditional horizontal battery and the straight battery configurations. In horizontal configuration, battery and equipment’s mass are more centralised and car handling will be more aggressive, and it is suitable for small tight tracks. In Straight battery configuration, mass will be slightly moved away from the centre line and the centre damper is at its lowest position. This configuration makes the car more difficult to flip over from traction roll and more stable in high-speed flow tracks.

Power HD GTS-2 Super Low Profile Servo

Power HD is wrapping up 2024 with the announcement of the addition of the GTS-2 to its popular high-voltage brushless GTS series servo range. Over half a year in development, the GTS-2 weighs only 47-grams despite its full metal CNC case and metal gear with Power HD saying it sets a new benchmark for the lightweight servo in the RC industry. The output gear is made of TC4 titanium alloy, which is 4.5 grams lighter than 303 steel gear and increases 50% hardness and toughness. The servo height is 3 mm, shorter than the traditional low profile servo and is offered in two versions. The 6 cm version features reverse wire output – the wires output from the bottom of the case, making the receiver placement space more abundant making it ideals for 1:10 Electric Touring Car. The 18 cm version uses normal wire output which is better suited for 1:10 Electric Buggy, 1:10 Nitro Touring Car and 1:8 GP. Compatible with the high-speed mode of major radios and the i-BUS2 protocol of FlySky Radio, it can remotely setup parameters and sense the temperature data on the FlySky NB4+ Pro Radio. The GTS-2 servo has clear characteristics, more prominent driving feel, and a “combination of stability and sensitivity”

SRT Min6 1:12 Pancar Servo

New from SRT is their Min6 servo intended for 1:12 Pancar use. The all-plastic, lighter weight, servo which weighs only 18 grams can be mounted directly, contributing to lower the centre of gravity of the chassis together with greater precision and locking force for smooth cornering control. Internally it uses 25T stainless steel + 7075 aluminium gears to ensure a high level high of strength for racing. Featuring the latest PCBA, it supports SSR, SUR, SXR, SR, SFR multiple ultra-high-speed modes. The Min6 can be programmed with the SRT program box for different tracks characteristics to dial in the steering to help achieving improved lap times.

Schumacher Eclipse 6

Reigning 1:12 World Champion manufacturer Schumacher has released its latest LMP12 racing chassis kit the Eclipse 6. The new kit incorporates the latest race winning developments, to give you an advantage on the track. The new chassis features Ultra-smooth front suspension allowing for better steering response, bump handling and adjustability, thanks to a new hub carrier and kingpin assembly. It has a new Hub carrier design with PTFE filled bushes for improved suspension action. A new Damper sleeve with special surface coating maximises suspension improvements while new enclosed spring design prevents suspension change/maintenance from dirt and oil build up around the spring. It also provides increased up travel and smoother suspension action. Another key area of improvement is the servo mounting resulting in direct mounting for the Sanwa micro range of servos such as the PGS-HR and SRG-HR. Direct and easy alignment on to the centre of the car. In doing this the chassis flexibility characteristics have been vastly improved, for performance and strength, by removing the large, off centre transverse slots previously used. All other brands of servo still can be used with the ultra-lightweight floating servo mount, included.
