RC Xpress Pixel Z1 Brass Chassis Plate

Having entered the 1:28 racing market last month with the release if its Pixel Z1, RC Xpress has released a new optional brass chassis plate for racer struggling with traction roll on high-grip tracks.  Creating an Ultra-Low Center of Gravity, the black coat finished brass chassis adds weight to the lowest point of the chassis, significantly lower the centre of gravity.  It also provides maximum driving stability by drastically reducing the risk of traction rolling on high-bite surfaces.  Making the car easier to drive, RC Xpress say the handling is much smoother and more predictable so you can get on the throttle with confidence.

Yokomo MS2.1 Electric Touring Car

Having announced the pending release of its latest competitive spec 1:10 Electric Touring Car last month with a CAD image, Yokomo has released images of the new MS2.1 kit.  The Japanese manufacturer has updated the front suspension geometry to deliver a more aggressive driving style leading to faster lap times.  With the new car you can now select the front suspension lever ratio, allowing you to fine tune your setup for all track conditions and tyre selection.  Shock components have also been meticulously refined to lower the centre of gravity, and the mounting angle has been adjusted to accommodate the longer front suspension arms, resulting in a perfectly balanced overall setup.  The motor mount and layshaft have also been updated for better tollerences and prevent spur gear failures. The screws are also updated for the 1.5mm aluminium and 1.2 steel chassis, now featuring a 2mm hex head. The Steel chassis has also been updated to the next generation.  The MS2.1 will be released simultaneously with graphite, aluminium, and steel chassis options, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your driving environment.  A conversion kit will also be released for all the current MS2.0 users to bring your car up to the current spec.

Takashima D-13 Titanium Chassis Production

Takashima D-13 has announced that its titanium chassis production has now entered the mass-production stage, following an extended period of development and process refinement.  Compared to spring steel, titanium alloy is considerably more challenging to machine, requiring careful control of the cutting process and production parameters.  After continuously refining its manufacturing process, Takashima D-13 has successfully established a stable production method, allowing titanium chassis plates to be produced in quantity and supplied to the market.  The new titanium chassis plates combine the characteristic low weight and high strength of titanium with a refined chassis flex response, helping to lower the overall centre of gravity while providing improved cornering speed and stability.  These characteristics make titanium an attractive option for racers looking for a different chassis balance, particularly in stock touring car racing.  Like the spring steel chassis, Takashima D-13 provide a black surface finish, giving the titanium chassis a distinctive appearance while adding another visual option to its chassis lineup.  The combination of the titanium material and black finish gives the chassis a clean and premium look that stands out on the track.  Following the successful start of mass production, Takashima D-13 will gradually introduce titanium chassis plates for a range of popular touring car platforms, with the first 4 models, the Mi10, A800RR,SP2, and MS2.0, now moving into production and delivery.

Infinity IF14 Speciale +2mm Bulkhead | +1mm Shock Tower

In their latest release for their IF14 Speciale Electric Touring Car, Infinity has added new optional +2mm Bulkheads to provide additional differential position adjustments to help maximise performance with thin chassis options.  The new +2 mm bulkheads raise the differential position, while updated +1mm shock towers are designed to properly complement this new configuration and optimise suspension travel with the thinner chassis such as the 1.5 mm aluminium and 1.2 mm steel chassis.  The Lower Bulkhead allows the differential (spool) pulley height to be raised by 2mm compared to the standard kit specification.  This allows you to optimise the differential (spool) height.  +1mm Shock Tower that raises the shock mounting height by approximately 1mm compared to the standard kit specifications optimise shock travel when using the 1.5mm Alu or Steel Chassis.
