Italian company WRC have introduces the GTX EP 1/8th electric on-road kit. Based off of the nitro-powered GTX car the electric-powered variant features a floating radio plate, a longer rear body centring plate as well as an improved front upper arm support. New for the EP is also an innovative battery connection system. The car was designed for the use with 2S shorty LiPo packs that require to be of a “through type” connector tube design to allow them to sit in-line which results in a very centralised weight distribution. Other features include a heavy duty 5mm 7075 aluminium main chassis, 2.5mm carbon fibre upper deck, a Kevlar pulley kit, symmetrical suspension parts as well as a new body support, and wheel lock system.
Mugen have introduced new option parts for the MTX6 1/10th 200mm touring car in the form of hard-anodised aluminium wheel axles and a nickel-plated aluminium clutch bell. The 7075 alloy wheel axle shafts are a direct replacement for the stock parts and they are designed to scrub both unsprung weight and rotational mass, resulting in improved on-track performance. Additional machining further scrubs weight and different sets of cross pin holes allow to use a fresh pair of holes once the actual start to show signs of wear, improving the lifespan of the parts.
Italian company BMT have introduced their all-new 701 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road kit. The car is based on a 7075-T6 aluminium chassis whose design ensures equal torque flex characteristics left to right and it utilises lightweight transmission parts, including a small and ultra low weight 2-speed assembly, for reduced rotational masses and thus improved acceleration and braking. For reliability reasons both the front and rear differential come with high-quality steel gears, greatly improving durability especially on high-grip surfaces. The chassis is topped off by a 2mm carbon fibre top plate that uses fuel tank quick releases, a 1-piece servo support and a flex system with bushings. The included radio box can be used or even left away to further scrub weight.
