Blaze Racing Battle Sword 2022 conversion

Blaze Racing have released some updated parts for their GT10 Battle Sword kit. After a long period of testing and racing with various prototype parts and different chassis configurations they came up with a significantly redesigned chassis and all new braces, decks, rear pod etc. First off the all new chassis offers much more forgiving and versatile handling due to more flex, reduced width, lower weight and accommodates the longer 65mm side links. They also came up with some design changes that make the car even more resistant to crashes without additional weight. Updated parts are now offered as a complete kit, an upgrade set for the previous Battle Sword and a conversion kit for any 1:10 CRC based 200mm kit as shown above. If you have a CRC 1:12 scale kit they also offer the necessary IRS rear axle and hubs.

Yokomo BD10F front balance weights

Yokomo have released this front balance weight to improve traction of the BD10F. The weight can be increased by 40g on each side for a total of 80g, reducing wheel spin that tends to occur during acceleration. This will improve acceleration out of corners and improve your lap times. By using only one screw to fix the weight to the chassis, the effect on chassis rigidity is minimised.
