Having almost broke the internet when they turned up to the IFMAR ISTC World Championships last November, confirming their return to the competition electric touring car market by competing with a prototype TC8, Team Associated has finally launched the production kits of the RC10TC8. Offering a Graphite-Spec or Steel-Spec Team Kit, built new from the ground up the TC8’s entirely new geometry represents a paradigm shift in on-road performance. Long arm pivot ball suspension, meticulously balanced weight distribution, and an ultra-low centre of gravity combined to create a touring car that’s both planted and incredibly responsive. This is the core of the TC8’s vision for the future of touring cars, offering unprecedented tuning capabilities. From the high-capacity differential to the ultra-short shocks, every component works in harmony. The one-piece servo mount and bell crank assembly deliver laser-like steering precision, while adjustable KPI ensures an unparalleled connection to the track, regardless of conditions.

Reigning Pro-Stock Touring Car World Champion manufacturer Awesomatix has released its latest kit, the A800RR. The newest creation car from Awesomatix founder Oleg Babich builds on the success of the A800R platform and focuses on refining the revolution brought by the A800R. Retaining the key features of the A800R – shortened chassis plate for minimal overhang and chassis rub and improved damping characteristics over the MMX platform – the A800RR incorporates several key quality-of-life upgrades. These include the newly designed D4 dampers, which allow for seamless external switching between linear, semi-progressive and progressive damping modes without requiring a full damper rebuild. Additionally, a new spool assembly reduces rotating mass and enables the use of identical pulleys for both the differential and spool, streamlining maintenance and performance.

New from Team Titan is this 40mm fan cover designed to work with their HV and Ultra Speed cooling fans. The new cover helps concentrate the air volume and cooling efficiency. The fan cover design also has an increased bottom area to make to easier to mount with double sided tape.
New from Yokomo’s Racing Performer electrics line comes a new second generation of its popular DX series brushless drifting motors. The colourful anodised DX2 series is a high-revving Type-R specification available in four colours (blue, purple, red and black) and three different gear ratios from 11.5T to 15.5T. The 11.5T DX2 prototype was used by Team Yokomo’s KAI to win the world-class WTDC drifting event in Malaysia last year, and its performance is already well documented. The slightly softer 13.5T is easy to use on P-tile surfaces and the more torquey 15.5T has a different rotor size to complete the power feel.
Busy with more new releases, 1:28 and Mini-Z specialists Reflex Racing has introduced a new 8.5mm Low Profile 35 Deg Slick tire as well as a 3 piece Aluminium Tire Gauge Set. The brand new Low Profile slick tires for RCP tracks are made from a very tough and long lasting grippy rubber. They were developed to match the grip envelope of our 30 degree radials. The 35 degree tire matches the grip envelope of their rear radials and Marka 10 and 5 degree rears. If using 15 or harder rears, often racers need 40 or 45 to match better. However, if those are too aggressive, the 35 may be perfect. The new 35 degree tires are lighter in colour, to make them easier to identify. Covering 21.0mm to 25.5mm the set of 3 tire gauges to make your tire measuring experience much easier. To use, select the appropriate gauge by measuring against the tire. Once selected, push the open side of the gauge onto the tire. Once you feel slight resistance and the center of the wheel is aligned with the resistance point, this is the measurement for your tire diameter.
Power HD has released two new HV brushless servos, the S35-V2 and T60-BHV, which are designed for competition spec 1:8 Buggy and 1:8 GT use.
