Inov8 MTC3 SlimX TopDecks

Invo8, formerly RC Maker, has introduced the first of many model specific option parts with the release of their SlimX topdecks for the Mugen Seiki MTC3 Touring Car.  Available in 3 configurations for maximum tunability, the SlimX topdecks offer superior flex adjustability so you can now you can tune with both screws and cut tabs in the topdeck, which has become a staple in touring car engineering.  The 1.6mm topdeck is particularly suited to lower traction tracks, or tight tracks where more flex is required for additional rotation. It can also be paired with the 2.0mm in the rear for added stability.  The 2.0mm Fibreglass topdeck utilises G10 FRP Material which offers a more progressive and dampened flex characteristic, whilst being slightly softer than it’s carbon fibre counterpart. This is a great mid range option between the 2.0mm Carbon and 1.6mm Carbon Topdecks.    The topdecks include 110 degree countersunk screws for the body stopper and are used as this leaves more material on the topdeck improving the rigidity and durability.

Mikimodel 1.2mm Steel Chassis for TC Stock & Modified

Italian Yokomo distributor Mikimodel has introduced a brand-new 1.2mm steel chassis for Electric Touring Car with specific finishes for Stock and Modified.  The two chassis are identical in shape and weight, but differ in their treatment and steel type.  Mikimodel  developed a specific chassis for the Stock Class that’s softer and more elastic, and a frame for the Modified that’s harder and less flexible.  They worked hard on the recessed vases in the frame, seeking the correct flex for the correct weight, which in the previous version was excessive. We tried to find the right weight balance.  Working hard to find durable screws that would have minimal impact on the frame, the kit for both class models includes a screw set.
