VBC Racing Lighting10M-235 Pro10 chassis kit

VBC Racing have introduced the Lightning10M-235 Pro10 chassis kit. Taking design features of the Lightning12M and LightningFXM chassis, the 235mm wide car features a redesigned chassis that is narrower than the one used in the previous kit. It still allows for standard inline, shorty inline as well as transverse shorty battery positions but does away with the numerous side cutouts for optional weights, meaning an overall stiffer chassis construction. Also part of the package are new composite X Silver front upper and lower arms, a hardened steel diff axle, the True Big Bore centre shock as well as hardened spring steel turnbuckles. The kit is rounded out by 7075-T6 aluminium steering knuckles.

Yokomo YR-10F carbon fibre front stiffener

Yokomo have released a carbon fibre front stiffener brace for the YR-10F formula car. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre the brace attaches to the lower front arm mount and adjustable grub screws apply pressure to the lower arms, keeping them from bending too much when running on high bite surfaces. The amount of pressure is adjustable via the grub screws and while sort of reinforcing the front suspension the part also acts as a body post mount, allowing easy front wing changes without having to worry about the body mount position.
