Yokomo general purpose chassis bag

Yokomo have announced their new general purpose chassis bag. The bag has been made from a sturdy, thick canvas material that is resistant to rubbing, tearing and of course protects from unexpected knocks and bangs yet is soft enough to protect your precious chassis/body shell or transmitter from scratches whilst in transit to the track. The size is around 51cm × 31cm which is large enough to fit a 1/10 scale RC car chassis and body and is printed with the latest Yokomo factory team logo.

Rebellion-RC IF11 Option parts

New from Rebellion RC comes several option parts for Infinity IF11 formula chassis. The new parts include harder front swing arms with several offsets (+2/+3/+4/+5/+6/+8/+10mm total width), with the offset engraved into the parts, the extra stiffness providing additional stability. A new rear wing mount design allows the wing to be fitted in front of the holder for more steering while retaining rear end stability. A chassis with 4 silicone-dots under the battery helps improve flex-characteristics and anti-slide effect to the battery, with a battery backstop for fine adjusting the battery position completing the releases. All parts are available in 12 different colours of carbon.

Protoform introduce the Spec6

New from Protoform, the Spec6 is a fresh new take on the classic Speed6 body that captured the 2008 Worlds at the hands of Marc Rheinard. While modern 190mm touring car bodies have gone the way of low-slung, ultra high-downforce designs, there is still a need for the more traditional, rounder and mellow-handling bodies for spec classes or track layouts with large sweeping corners. The Spec6 provides an ultra-smooth, high-corner speed feel, especially crucial in lower-power classes with handout motors. The Spec6 has been brought up to 2019 standards with increased flat surface area behind each wheel opening to allow for more forward mounting. This is made easier with the added Mounting Marks scribed into each wheel opening in 2mm increments. Available in 2 weight options, X-lite (65g) and lightweight (85g).

Rebellion-RC WTC Mount for X1

More from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand for the Xray X1 formula chassis is this WTC Mount. This new upgrade allows the user to mount the rear wing in front of the holder, giving the possibility to set the wing much further forward which in turn leads to more front traction while retaining rear stability. The mount also gives you the option to fix the rear wing directly to the chassis, which leads to much more rear grip and better handling due to the reduction in vibrations from the wing transferred to the rear pod.
