Hudy 1:10 Pan Car Alu Tweak Set-Up Wheels

Adding to its world famous set-up system range, Hudy has introduced these Aluminium set-up wheels designed for precise and repeatable tweak adjustment on 1:10 Pan Car chassis.  The rigid aluminium construction eliminates inaccuracies caused by rubber or foam tires, allowing accurate chassis balance checks.  Foam tyres used on pan cars can vary significantly in diameter after each run, making reliable tweak measurement difficult.  Aluminium set-up wheels eliminate these inconsistencies and allow precise chassis balance checks.  With a 61.7mm diameter and featuring a machined in wheel weight, each wheel is CNC-machined to exact tolerances and perfectly matched within the set for maximum setup precision.

Ielasi Tuned GT | Pista Team Editions

New from Ielasi Tuned come these Team Editions of its GT and Pista .21 engines.  The Pista Team is an upgrade from the previous version while the Gran Turismo Team comes fresh after its European title win in Portugal with Andrea Catanzani.  The Gran Turismo Team is a new addition to the range as there was no Team version of this engine until now and will join to the standard Gran Turismo currently on sale.  The engine will also feature a HD-treated crankcase, a new crankcase cap, Ielasi Tuned top needle, WIB ceramic bearing, a 7mm Short Venturi, a new exclusive Ielasi Tuned underhead, and a new cooling head with more heat dissipation material and one more fin than the standard version.  The new Pista Team differs from the previous version mainly in the HD-treated crankcase, the new crankcase cap, and the different exhaust timing using a shim under the cylinder already included.  Being the top-of-the-range version, the engine will always include the WIB ceramic main bearing, the Ielasi Tuned’s reinforced connecting rod, and Short 9mm V2 venturi.  Pre-orders for the new engines are open with both units due to go on sale from September 14th.

Krazed Builds 7XF TRF421 FWD Conversation Kit

Bringing us the A12F Veyron Kit F1 earlier this year, US based Krazed Builds has announced the up coming release of its 7XF kit, an innovative Front Wheel Drive kit designed for the TRF421 1:10 Electric Touring Car from Tamiya.  It was designed with the focus of keeping all the original TRF421 parts used and no chasing down random ones from other suppliers.  Starting from the ground up they designed a 7075-T6 Aluminium chassis focused on tunability with symmetrical flex in the right places giving control and power where its needed.  They have maximised stability in the rear suspension so the front can do its job.  Moving the stock motor mount forward they were able to maintain balance with performance and keep all electronics in a nested area for controlled weight transfer.  This leaves room for drivers to fine tune their balance on scales. Not being a fan of stacking all the weight over the front tires and hoping the rear stays planted, this helped create what Krazed Builds believe is a better transfer of weight on and off power.  The 3D printed bumper has the ability to use popular cylindrical weights with Awesomatix making these in 5 gram and 10 gram units that have a threaded centre hole.  Adding a Carbon Fiber upper bumper brace drivers can attach up to 70 grams directly in front of their wheels.  They also added a few extra locations towards the rear to attach these weights as well as the popular stick on ones.  In addition to the 7075-T6 Alloy chassis, the 7XF kit also includes 2mm Carbon Fibre front and rear top decks while in the rear it comes with a new 4mm Carbon Fibre body mount plus 2 carbon shims for the rear shock tower mounts.   You also get two new Carbon Fibre Battery holders plus a belt for the new driveline.
