Capricorn LAB TE03 chassis & bulkhead brace

Capricorn have new option parts for the LAB TE03 1/10th electric touring car available in the form of two different main chassis plates and a reinforcement brace for the bulkheads. Starting with the chassis, new are slim aluminium and carbon fibre lower plates that allow to fine-tune the car to different amounts of traction. Both are 83mm wide which prevents them from scrubbing too much during hard cornering with the aluminium chassis being best suited for high-bite tracks while the carbon fibre variant should excel in lower grip conditions. Also new is a carbon fibre reinforcement plate for the bulkheads, a part that allows to stiffen the bulkheads, again in a wake to adjust to the overall traction available.

Team Titan Blitz TS040 1/8th on-road bodyshell

New from Team Titan comes the Blitz TS040 1/8th on-road bodyshell. Compared to the popular TS030 the new body offers similar initial steering but improved mid-corner rotation, allowing to corner faster and to step on the throttle sooner. The body is therefore best suited for smaller tracks with tight corners and hairpins. The EFRA-approved TS040 comes clear, including side stiffeners, window mask, stickers and as 1.2mm strong, 1.0mm standard, 0.8mm light or 0.7mm ultra light variant.

Schumacher 2015 Mi5 Evo shock towers

Schumacher together with their factory race team have been hard at work to develop new Mi5 Evo shock towers for the 2015 racing season. The new towers give a small change in wheel rate giving a slightly softer feeling with drivers experiencing better precision through the corners giving improved lap times. They were used with great success at the recent ICC race in Essex by Schumacher drivers Elliott Harper and Michal Orlowski to take 3rd and 5th place against some tough competition.

Kawada F500WS formula kit – Coming soon

Kawada has released a preview image of their forthcoming F500WS formula car kit. It appears to build on several parts taken over from the company’s W500 1/12th and 1/10th pan car range with a purpose-designed double wishbone wide track front suspension and a rear link-type suspension that makes use of in-line roll damper as seen on the TRG formula cars. The slim carbon fibre chassis features a stand-up steering servo mount that obviously can be shifted forth and back to fine-tune the steering geometry while the shorty battery mount also allows to shift the pack forth and back. Other features or general information so far remain in the dark but it is understood that Kawada tries to have the kit available by April.
