RC Maker A12 shim plate set & damper guard

RC Maker have produced their first option parts for the newly released Awesomatix A12 1/12th scale car. First up is a carbon front ride height shim plate set which makes it much easier to make aggressive ride height adjustments on the fly. The separate shims just slide in when loosening the screws, and the front being a solid plate is much easier to install than 3 separate shims. Very handy for asphalt racing or when using big tires. Next up is a carbon damper guard that was developed particularly for asphalt. After some feedback from team drivers running on asphalt, they found the damper section of the chassis began to wear on bumpy tracks. This 0.5mm stick on plates act as a guard and prevent the damper burring over on the edges and touching the output shafts, effecting the smoothness of your dampening.

Fenix Racing Mistral 2.0 options & wrenches

Fenix Racing introduce a number of new parts for their Mistral 2.0 formula car. First up are the LMP side wings that, when used with parts from the G56, accommodate the use of different links to tune the handling of the car. Additionally there are several new body post locations to fit LMP, Group C or GT3 style bodies and also allow for the use of longer side dampers or side shocks. There are also new formula side wings that provide the option to use different links to setup the car. Next up is a longer carbo Ackermann plate for additional steering settings and finally there is also a new front end brace for the Mistral 2.0. The brace helps improve the front end rigidity for better and sharper steering. Fenix also have two new turnbuckle wrenches in 3mm and 4mm versions, which are pretty cool with their carbon fibre and blue anodised aluminium handles.

Xpress XQ10 adjustable Ackermann steering plate

From Xpress for their XQ10, this new adjustable Ackermann steering plate allows the user to adjust the distance between the two ballends on the steering bridge through the use of inserts. What this achieves is different Ackermann settings and adjusts how much steering angle difference you can achieve between the outside and inside tires when you turn. By using a larger distance (bigger number) the outside wheel will turn more and create a more aggressive feeling. The 8.0mm insert will make the wheels turn at a more equal angle and will result in a more stable driving car. The other inserts included are 8.5 and 9.0.

Smokem Racing ARC R12 RS chassis plate

Smokem Racing’s new RS chassis plate for the ARC R12 offers reduced scrub compared to the factory chassis. By removing the short arm suspension mounts, the RS design eliminates excess material from the profile that’s no longer required. The new RS chassis also moves the holes for the rear suspension blocks forward by 1mm which allows racers who use ARC’s R12 ATS system with parallel hinge pins to maintain the same wheelbase by using no shims in front of the suspension arms, something that cannot be achieved with the factory chassis without modifying the suspension arms. Meanwhile racers who run the fixed rear toe suspension can maintain their stock wheelbase by using 2mm of shims in front of the suspension arms instead of 1mm. The chassis is made from high quality 2.25mm thick carbon fibre.

Infinity IF15W 1/10th 235mm chassis

Based on the World Champion Infinity IF15, this wide chassis kit from Creation Model converts a 200mm chassis to a 235mm wide version. Compared to the standard IF15, the IF15W features new front and rear shock towers and body mounts, as well as wider tires. The newly designed front one way drive is included in the kit to help produce sharp turn in that matches the racing body. Designed to accept a similar body type to that used in 1/8th scale it boasts unparalleled aerodynamic performance providing higher cornering speeds than that of a regular sedan body. Most of the existing optional parts for the IF15 can still be used allowing you to upgrade your car and improve performance.
