Yokomo has released more new optional parts for its MS1.0 1:10 Electric Touring Car with the release of aluminium rear body post mounts and thicker to 2.9mm shock pistons.   The aluminium rear body post mount for the MS1.0 converts the standard rearward post into a vertical one.  This design improves stability and performance and is an alternative for mounting bodies with long rear overhangs, scale bodies, and more, giving you greater versatility and control over your vehicle’s setup.  With the new pistons by increasing its thickness to 2.9mm and expanding the area where flow velocity increases, a firmer damping can be achieved.  This adjustment proves particularly effective in high temperature tracks, where heat causes oil to thin out.  The new pistons ensure consistent performance under varying conditions.

MR33 Circle Droop Gauge V2

MR33, the brand of multiple World Champion Marc Rheinard, has released a new V2 version of its Circle Droop Gauge offering a more precise measurement and adjustment of the droop on your 1:10 Touring Car or FWD.   The two small aluminium wheels are screwed onto the wheel axles of your vehicle.  The suspension travel is then measured at the lower edge of the aluminium wheels.  The measurement is then more accurate because you always measure at the centre of the wheel axle and tolerances in wheel carriers, wishbones and other components of your vehicle no longer play a role.  The new MR33 Circle Droop Gauge V2 is graduated in 0.2mm steps and has a measuring range of 21.0 – 25.0mm.  In order to compare these values with the conventional old known suspension travel of your current vehicle (e.g. 4.0 or 6.0), you simply have to carry out a comparison measurement. You can then write these values in a small table, for example, so that you always know quickly how to compare the values of the “new” gauge with those of the “old” gauge on the racetrack.
