Reflex Racing GX28 Weighted Chassis with Tungsten Weights

1:28 Specialists Reflex Racing has released a Weighted Chassis with Tungsten Weights for its GX28 kits. This optional chassis gives you the ability to add 5 pcs of our 2g tungsten weights to your car at the lowest point possible. These weights allow you to play with the weight bias as well as making the car about 3.2-3.5g heavier overall. The US company suggest adhering the front 3 weights with a small drop of CA or E6000 for easier removal. Also new for the GX28 are optional 3 and 4 degree Caster Bulkheads.

Takashima D-13 Mi10 | A800RR V2 Easylock Battery mount

Takashima D-13 has released the second generation of its Easylock Battery Holder system for Schumacher’s Mi10 and Awesomatix A800RR electric touring cars. Designed to simplify battery changes, the system allows racers to quickly remove and secure the battery by simply pressing and rotating the carbon battery retainer, making pit work faster and more convenient. To accommodate the latest generation of ultra-low-profile LiPo batteries, the V2 holder features a completely revised height range, from adjusting the shims supporting battery heights from 17mm to 23mm. This ensures compatibility with a wider range of modern battery packs while helping racers take advantage of lower centre-of-gravity setups. One of the key improvements of the V2 design is the updated locating pin length. With spring steel chassis becoming increasingly popular in electric touring car racing, the original locating pins often required trimming before installation. To eliminate this extra step, all V2 locating pins are now manufactured with a 1mm length, making them directly compatible with ultra-thin spring steel chassis and providing a true bolt-on solution for users. Combining quick battery changes, expanded battery compatibility and improved chassis integration, the V2 Quick Release Battery Holder offers a practical upgrade for modern touring car racers.

Futura 1:10 Formula Kit

A brand that was created by Italy’s Mikimodel after three years of its ‘Special Parts’ production, Futura presents its first ever full kit with the release of an 1:10 Formula car. In development for almost a year, it has been designed with a strong focus on optimal weight distribution and highly efficient vehicle dynamics. The rear carbon fibre pod plates, combined with aluminium mounting points, help reduce unsprung mass, improving weight distribution and rear-end responsiveness. The pod plates are connected by a composite brace specifically designed to maintain alignment without excessively increasing stiffness, allowing a controlled amount of rear flex to enhance traction and cornering grip. The rear wing mount features 6 adjustment positions, enabling precise aerodynamic load tuning according to track conditions and setup requirements.

MXLR FlexFill Body Insert for Avalon Vortex Body

The most talked about body shell in RC racing at the moment, MXLR has created this FlexFill Body Insert for the Avalon Vortex 1:10 EP Touring Car Body. With its long front nose, there is a big gap to be filled between bumper and shell to keep the front in perfect shape under aero load and prevent it from bending down at high speed. Usually ordinary body shell foam is used here, which works fine in most cases – but with more than 15mm of gap to be filled in the middle section, foam is simply not a reliable option anymore. It deflects, it wiggles, and it costs you front end consistency exactly where you need it most. Already before the first big showing of the body, MXLR came up with a solution for this issue with their specially shaped FlexFill Body Inserts. Made from TPU and matched to the exact shape and angle of the Vortex front end, they provide the perfect fitment with the bidy – and a perfect match with the MXLR FlexBumpers and most kit bumpers. Installation is simple using thin double sided tape (not included) to mount the FlexFill Body Inserts inside your Vortex shell. The full set weighs only ~2.3 grams, while the amount of ordinary body foam needed to fill the same area comes in at ~1.9grams meaning you get a massive gain in stability and consistency for almost no weight penalty.
