Hiro Factory HRF10X-PB Premium Blacky formula kit

Japanese brand Hiro Factory has introduced the new HRF10X-PB Premium Blacky 1/10th formula kit. The car builds on a premium hard carbon fibre main chassis plate and it features the newly developed C-ADJ-S camber and caster system up front that allows to adjust both parameters without the need to change parts, making it swift, easy and reliable. The aluminium servo mount doubles as a chassis stiffener brace and two aluminium triangles enable the racer to adjust the front-centre chassis stiffness. The steering arm design allows to adjust the steering Ackermann to vary the amount of steering available and an O-ring retained battery mount ensures the battery can be swapped without the need for additional tools. Other features include a high-capacity centre shock absorber, all-aluminium precision tube dampers as well as an aluminium ADJ roll plate to adjust overall chassis roll. The rear of the car houses the carbon fibre rear axle, and the ball differential with centre lock type left wheel hub and lightweight right wheel hub. A motor cooling fan mount and height adjustable wing mount round out the package. The car is usable with rubber and foam tyres and it can be built in narrow or wide track specification.

Serpent X20 4WD electric touring car – Teaser image

Serpent have released a first teaser image of their forthcoming all-new X20 4WD electric touring car platform. No official details are available yet apart from the teaser image that shows a possible mid-motor platform with narrowly spaced bulkheads, long lower arms, pivot ball suspension and what looks like a standard shock placement – different from the exotic laydown shock layout found of the Project 4X touring car. The car is set for a release this October and we bring you more details as they surface.

MonacoRC 30mm mid motor Air Conveyor

Coming from MonacoRC and made for the latest generation of mid motor electric touring cars is the 30mm Air Conveyor. The new fan duct completes MonacoRC’s line of these important accessories and it joins the 40mm mid motor variant to cover all needs. The electronic layouts of mid motor cars, that swap the position of the motor and speed controller compared to standard “rear motor” touring cars, call for differently designed cooling fan ducts with MonacoRC’s mid motor air conveyor offering cut outs for the fan’s power wires, resulting in cleaner wiring, better looks and improved functionality. The air conveyor is made of 3-D-printed high-quality material and it is usable with standard 30mm fan units.

ARC R11F FWD touring car kit

ARC have announced the soon release of their forthcoming new R11F front-wheel driven 1/10th scale touring car kit. A first for the company, the car builds on the proven R11 2019 4WD touring car, sharing over 95 percent of the parts which makes parts storage easy when running both classes. The car utilises a 2.25mm carbon fibre main chassis combined with a 2.0mm upper deck, while an optional 1.6mm carbon or an aluminium upper deck allow to fine-tune the chassis’ torsional flex characteristics. The upper decks of the R11F and the R11 2019 are similar, further helping to minimise parts needed to run both cars alongside. On the transmission side of things the R11F features a belt-driven drivetrain with an oil-filled gear differential while the battery compartment allows for five different configurations such as side and cross alignment standard packs, side or cross alignment shorty batteries and also an inline/centre placement of shorty battery packs. The kit is shipping now and should hit stores very soon.
