Cheat Parts YZ4FS front lower suspension block

From Swiss brand Cheat Parts comes this front lower suspension block for the Yokomo YZ4FS Mk.I and Mk.II. Improving the front end geometry it will give you more adjustability and equals out the front and rear roll centre. Front lift during acceleration and front dive during braking will be reduced and you can run the car with less ride height, therefore lowering the centre of gravity. By speeding up lateral and reducing longitudinal geometric weight transfer the car gains response and stability. The new bumper design is working as an airdam, preventing unnecessary air flowing under the chassis and with front aero lift reduced, cornering speed in fast turns will increase. The part is machined in Switzerland from Swiss 7075 aluminium and anodised in black for improved rigidity.

JConcepts 1963 Ford Falcon Street Eliminator body

This new 1963 Ford Falcon from JConcepts is intended for street racing and drops to the popular Team Associated DR10 and SCT conversions as well as drag racing builds currently in the market. During the design, it was important to maintain a narrow width to match track widths of popular vehicles and to slip through the air at a high rate of speed. Also, a lower trim line on the sides and front chin-spoiler minimises draft inside the body shell. The round and beady headlights create the feel for this legendary vehicle and the bar grille separates a broad front-end. The front bumper is moulded in position along with an additional and lower trim-line for racing purposes. The hood-scoop buries into the windshield providing that racy look while the cab itself looks strong with chiseled window framing and mock trim package. The rear fender torpedoes back to create the base for rear taillights and a drop-down through the rear bumper to complete some of the futuristic styling. The side panels of the body are quite recessed and with included decals, the arrow shaped body trim can be mocked into position for a more ‘Falcon-ized’ appearance.

Serpent have released their new Viper 989E, the latest electric version of their 989 1/8th scale chassis. Electric racing has developed big time and the 989E is designed to take care of that power and put it down as effectively as possible. Based on the successful 989 gas racer and sharing it’s suspension, shocks and quite a lot of other features like the chassis plate and drivetrain, there are many EP specific parts on this car as well. They have made room for serious power with the batteries mounted on a 2.5mm thick carbon plate, the variety of packs can be mounted in 3 different positions, changing the CG to alter the cars behaviour. The elevated speedo mounting plate gives stiffness for the battery plates and creates also room for oversized speedos with even 1/5th scale speedos possible. A large range of motors can also be accommodated and the area around the motor has been stiffened to remove any unwanted flex. Other features include a wider 10mm rear belt and module 1 steel gears for durable power delivery.
