Cerberus Racing Vektor F1 – First Look

This weekend’s MonTech New York Grand Prix sees the race debut of Cerberus Racing, the new car brand of well known US onroad racer and RC product designer Josh Cyrul. Announcing his new venture just last month, Cyrul is a regular at the annual 360v2 RC Raceway event and two years ago used the race to showcase his design involvement in the rollout of Excelerate RC cars. This weekend, he is back in New Rochelle running two of his conversion kits for Excelerate cars with full Cerberus Racing complete kits set to hit the market at the end of November. As a first look we have had the opportunity to photograph Cyrul’s Vektor F1. Also racing 1:12 (chassis focus to follow), all four platforms in the Vektor range share around 80% components and the design concept behind the cars means less parts. Another benefit pointed out by Cyrul is that the design makes racing more simple and set-ups more easy to replicate. As previously covered on Red RC, the Vektor features the revolutionary new ARC Damper. This first-of-its-kind spherical roll damper features a floating “vane” that self-aligns for linear, wiggle-free dampening, and significantly reduces free play during directional changes. It also offers increased ease of maintenance with two-screw mounting this enables rapid trackside tuning with pre-built dampers. With complete isolation from bump dampening, for optimal suspension tuning, the F1 includes an aluminium casing for integrated rear wing bracket mounting.

Xray X4 Short Hard CFF2 Lower Arms

Xray has added the option of Hard version of their CFF2 Short Lower Arms for the X4’26 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Short CFF2 suspension arms provide more aggressive and reactive handling compared to the standard long arms. The shorter geometry allows more chassis roll and increases initial steering, making the car more responsive in tight and technical sections and improving steering on technical tracks. In high-traction conditions, the short arm geometry improves rotation and provides freer handling. The Hard material further reduces suspension arm flex, helping to increase rotation and responsiveness. For best performance, the latest Short Hard CFF2 suspension arms are recommended in combination with the Hudy Spring Steel 1.2mm Chassis.

Schumacher Eclipse 6 Steel Chassis Upgrade Set

Reigning 1:12 World Champion manufacturer Schumacher has released this Steel Chassis Upgrade Set for its Eclipse 6. It was developed to deliver smooth, predictable handling and improved drivability, particularly in the high-grip conditions commonly found in LMP12 racing. The specially developed 1.1mm spring steel chassis combines an ultra-low centre of gravity with a chassis width reduced by 11.5mm. Its reduced thickness lowers all chassis-mounted components by 0.9mm, helping to improve overall balance and handling. Weighing 91.2 grams, 7 grams heavier than the standard 2mm alloy chassis, the steel chassis has been engineered to provide fast yet easy-to-drive characteristics, with increased mid-corner rotation, a smoother feel and a wider setup window. The set includes the steel chassis, carbon fibre topdecks, side links and specially designed mounting hardware. The mounting screws require a Torx T7 driver with the Takashima T7 driver and handle available separately. The upgrade set is also compatible with the Schumacher Eclipse 5.
