Factory Team RC28R Option Parts

Factory Team, the Team Associated option parts & accessories line, has released a range of new option parts for the RC28R 1:28 car. The new releases include a Steel Lower Pod Plate, a Carbon Fibre Upper Arm Brace, Titanium Adjustable Axles,, Front Bulkhead Shims, and a 1:28 specific Ride Height Gauge. The steel lower pod plate adds 3g to the pod assembly to improve rear-end stability. The upper arm brace adds rigidity to the fixed upper arms on the RC28R limiting the amount of flex in cornering, sharpening steering feel. The Titanium Adjustable Front Axles enables track width tuning between 0mm, 0.5mm, and 1mm offsets further dialing in front end feel to the driver’s preference. The Front bulkhead shims add further adjustment to the front end of the RC28R. Adding shims under the front bulkhead adds roll stiffness improving steering feel in most conditions. 0.25mm and 0.5mm shims included. Finally, the Ride Height Gauge is an easy-to-use tool to quickly and clearly check the ride height and droop of your 28th scale car. This gauge has a range of 1.5-2.5mm with 0.25mm increments.

Awesomatix A800R 1.5mm Titanium Chassis

Awesomatix has introduced a 1.5mm titanium chassis for its A800R and RR 1:10 Electric Touring Cars. Made from the strongest-grade titanium, this chassis version weighs 108 grams offering a great alternative to their heavier 140 grams Steel chassis (~140 grams) in Blinky classes. This option allows racers to get closer to the minimum weight where big battery packs, over 290 grams, can provide a power advantage. Moreover this chassis showed remarkable attributes in modified class on US and EU indoor tracks with improved corner speed and forwarded traction being reported during testing. Six pockets for optional installation of optional tungsten weights allows you to raise the overall chassis weight to 140 grams. This chassis requires specifically machined screws which are not included and ST237 Damper Spacers or SH0.5mm Shims should be used under D3 / D4 Dampers. Awesomatix also recommend use of its Lower Bumper with chassis. Awesomatix wish to highlight that some titanium chassis may show machine marks while others don’t.

IFMAR statement on Xtreme Aerodynamics CZ1 Nitro Touring Body

With the 11th running of the 1:10 Nitro Touring Car World Championships coming up this September in Gubbio, Italy, World governing body IFMAR have issued a statement in relation to compliance of the Xtreme Aerodynamics CZ1. It was found that the EFRA Homologation No. 2064 body produced in 0.75 mm thickness did not comply with the applicable regulations concerning measurement point “M”. As a result the current current CZ1 body carrying EFRA Homologation No. 2064 will not be eligible for use at the World Championship, regardless of material thickness. Italian manufacturer Xtreme Aerodynamics has accepted this decision and committed to manufacturing a revised version of the EFRA 2064 body fully complying with Measurement “M” (118 mm). These bodies will carry a specific IFMAR engraving identifying them as approved for use at the 2026 IFMAR World Championship. The Italian manufacturer has also committed to supplying these revised bodies free of charge to all competitors who intended to participate in the IMAR World Championship using the current EFRA 2064 body.

Futura Tyre Additive

Following the recent announcement of its first car kit, the Futura F1, the new Italian brand has released a new range of tyre additives. Suitable for both rubber and foam tyres, the range offers three distinct additives designed for different track and grip conditions. The Red labelled additive is the most aggressive and is ideal if you want significant, uniform, and consistent grip throughout the entire race. Blue is better suited for tracks that already have grip, where good rolling speed is preferred without sacrificing substantial traction. Yellow is designed for greater rolling speed on tracks that already offer high traction.

Serpent Medius X26 Electric Touring Car

Serpent has released their latest 1:10 Electric Touring Car, the Medius x26. Serpent’s goal for the latest evolution of the Medius was to engineer a next-gen chassis shape with improved flex for ultimate grip. With less rear overhang, they claim razor-sharp steering response through every apex with the new chassis shape is available in high-grade carbon or as a state-of-the-art, DLC-coated steel version. The X26 kit get a completely redesigned suspension. Ultra-stiff and incredibly lightweight lower carbon suspension arms minimize unsprung weight while maximising chassis agility. The Dual Link Upper Arm System gives total control over setup with hyper-precise caster and camber adjustments, tailored for any track condition. Matching the new suspension, the kit also features Ultra-Short Shock Absorbers which are optimised to achieve an extremely low centre of gravity (LCG) that heavily reduces body roll for razor-sharp stability. Additionally, the shocks are mounted closer to the chassis centre to minimise rotational inertia, allowing for faster direction changes.

Xray X4F’27 1:10 FWD Touring Car

Xray has presented details of its newest kit offering for the 1:10 FWD Touring Car class, the X4F’27. Based on a new 2.2mm carbon chassis with rear cut-outs integrated with the carbon flex brace system to provide multiple rear flex settings for different track conditions, key features of the Slovakian manufacturer’s new frontie contender include a new gear differential with lightweight & ultra-reliable design. New front bulkhead flex adjustment system provides a wide range of flex settings for different track conditions with new one-piece short lower CFF2 suspension arms specially designed for X4F increasing suspension rigidity and improve overall handling, response, and maximum steering. A new carbon fibre steering plates with optimised geometry and flex characteristics reduces weight and increases mechanical traction while a new carbon fibre ARS plates with two rear link mounting positions optimises rear suspension geometry and flex characteristics, reducing rear suspension weight, and expanding ARS setup adjustment. Other improvements to the car include updated top decks optimised for flex characteristics and compatible with the optional aluminium braces to expand the flex adjustment alternatives. New rear bulkhead flex adjustment system provides a wide range of rear flex settings for different track conditions.

Takashima D-13 V2 Rear Body Support

Takashima D-13 has released the second generation of its Rear Body Support. Designed to prevent lightweight body shells from deforming at high speeds while reducing the risk of cracking around the rear wheel arch area, by helping the body shell maintain its intended aerodynamic shape, the support contributes to more consistent downforce, improved durability and stable on-track performance. The V2 Rear Body Support includes four different wire heights, allowing racers to fine-tune the fitment for various body shells and mounting positions. Designed with a focus on convenience, strength and durability, the system provides effective rear body support while minimising any influence on chassis flex characteristics, ensuring the car retains its intended handling balance and performance.
