Protoform RT-C lightweight rubber tyre oval body shell

Protoform’s latest oval racing lid is the RT-C lightweight rubber tyre body shell. The XFINITY Series continues to provide full scale stock car fans with close exciting racing in 2017. Protoform now presents an oval body inspired by the newest generation of these cars. The RT-C has a bit of a twist though, as it is configured to fit perfectly over the taller rubber and capped tyres. Rubber tyres on carpet oval cars have put driving skill and a new element of fun into the oval scene. The longer lasting rubber tyre format saves time and money as well, eliminating the tyre truing process. The RT-C offers a large rear spoiler to aid in tuning – for that perfect front to rear balance, while the left side of the body is bumped out for extra battery clearance. The RT-C is produced in high-quality .025″ polycarbonate and includes spoiler mounting hardware, protective film, window masks and a decal sheet. This body will also fit most popular 200mm sedan chassis.

Protoform P47-N 1/10th 200mm nitro touring body shell

Protoform have introduced the next evolution of the IFMAR World title-winning P37 body shell, the P47-N. Featuring all-new aero concepts and some design cues never before seen in the class, the P47 was exhaustively tested by Protoform’s team to find a body that offers more precise and smooth steering, increased corner speed and forward bite, and additional top speed on long straights. A raised section of the left side window can be cut out to scoop air into the body for additional engine cooling, and a large high-downforce/low-drag wing complete the design. The body meets all EFRA (#2058), IFMAR and ROAR body rule requirements and is available as .025″ light weight and .030″ regular weight variant. Included with the P47 is a decal sheet, paint-then-peel overspray film, window masks and durable nylon wing mounting hardware.

Yokomo YD-2 adjustable front steering blocks

Coming from Yokomo and made for the YD-2 series of drift cars are adjustable front steering blocks. The design allows to fine-tune the king pin angle using 0.5mm or 1.0mm spacers with the default setting being +1 degree and by adding the 0.5mm spacer an additional degree is accessible. Optional aluminium stopper pins ensure precise steering lock with the pins being available with 4mm or 5mm diameter to achieve different lock angle settings. The steering block set is made from high-quality aluminium, it includes the steering blocks and steering block adapters as well as a set of 0.5mm and 1.0mm shims. In additional to the optional stopper pins also a set of steering block weights is available to further fine-tune the steering characteristics.

Serpent Project 4X linear upper arm connectors

Coming from Serpent and made for the Project 4X touring car are new linear upper arm connectors. The parts are designed to be used with shorter links with the new default link length being achieved by using the included balljoints and set screws. The ball joints are mounted touching each other so no measuring is needed. Using the new parts will result in a refined geometry that offers more linear action over the full suspension movement while the standard geometry has a degressive characteristic. With the set the suspension will be getting less soft under compression, resulting in improved car control especially in high grip conditions. The connectors are available as full set and also separately.

WRC NTX 1.1 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road kit

Italian company WRC have introduced their all-new NTX 1.1 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road car kit. The vehicle utilises a 3mm 7075 aluminium chassis with a 2.5mm carbon fibre upper deck and a composite rear bumper and diffuser unit for increased suspension protection and improved aerodynamics. The suspension parts are of a symmetrical design to reduce the number of parts needed to carry to races and an innovative floating radio plate design ensures optimised chassis flex for both high traction and improved steering response. The front steering spindles and rear uprights are of a multi-piece design to allow fine-tuning using optional parts while ensuring maximised rigidity and included in the kit is also WRC’s “spring-less” magnetic brake return system that provides a free-spinning drivetrain. Also part of the package are sliding centre balance weights that attach to the chassis below the fuel tank. The kit is rounded out by a set of composite gears for the front differential and metal gears for the rear diff which results in a low weight and high durability.
