New from Infinity for their World Championship winning IF8-3 1:8 Onroad chassis comes these new compound orange Shock O-rings. Compared to the kit-standard O-rings, the slightly harder compound generates subtle friction with the shock shaft, enhancing support rigidity. This helps suppress chassis roll and improves stability on high-grip or flat surfaces. The Shock O-rings comes as a pack of 8pcs.

New from German body shell producer ZooRacing comes the Wolverine Mini, the smaller M-Chassis brother of their popular Wolverine Max 1:10 Onroad body. The 2 times IFMAR World Champion and 4 times EFRA European Champion in this new form factor is designed to push the boundaries of performance in the M-Chassis Mini Touring Car Class. The Wolverine Mini represents a leap forward in aerodynamic efficiency and handling. Lots of new features improve the handling, more contact pressure offers more stability in corners with lots more rotation. The aerodynamic efficiency has been improved again as well. The overall length has been shortened to achieve a lesser inertia and therefore a better rotation around the vertical axis. For more steering in fast corners ZooRacing has redesigned the front and hood and made them steeper. To easier steer the airflow along the sides over the rear wheel arches to the rear wing, to create more downforce, they’ve tailored the sides a lot. The rear is designed very even and uniform for a low centre of gravity and to ensure an easy airflow to the wing. For a consistent flow they’ve remodelled the rear fenders to minimise turbulences at the rear of the body. To achieve better aerodynamic efficiency they have elongated the roof and for the first time the windows at the side have an arch build in, to even out the pressure ratio of the airflow. The included Hellcat rear wing improves that even further.

With a first prototype of the car seen at the 2024 FEMCA Championships last December at the GDC track in Foshan, China, HPI Racing has put the latest prototype of its upcoming Sprint 3 Pro Touring Car on display at the National Retail Hobby Stores Association Show in Las Vegas. Expected to launch in Q1 of 2026, the all-new 4WD Mid-Spec Carbon Belt Chassis is a platform engineered and built for club racers with competitive pricing one of the goals of the kit. Showing both a carbon fibre and steel chassis option of the car, it is understood that HPI Racing do not intended to make a full factory racing return to 1:10 Electric Touring Car, with the Sprint 3 Pro in fact an engineering project to develop their next generation belt-driven RTR Sprint 3 car. Having developed the prototype however they have decided why not release the high end version to club racers.
T-Works has produced this Bearing Wheel Hub Axle in both +0.5mm and +1mm options for the Team Associated TC8 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Machined from lightweight 7075 aluminium alloy and treated with a black anodisation process, for combined high strength, scratch resistance and corrosion resistance, compared to the original kit hub axle, the T-Works version are 0.5mm and 1.0mm thicker, allowing fine adjustment of the wheelbase to avoid steering interference and improve the smoothness of four-wheel steering. It also enhances the cars anti-roll capability and driving stability. Equipped with a 6mm bearing structure and anti-detachment design, this ensures stable power transmission without loosening.
