Mugen Seiki MTC3 Updated Motor Mount

Mugen Seiki has announced an updated motor mount for its recently released MTC3 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Having found with the original mount that the gear ratio settings are extremely limiting due to the difference in the shape of the motor used they have produced the updated mount that allows the motor to be closer to the spur gear. The updated ‘B’ mount can be -6T with total teeth of pinion+spur compared to the original. The Japanese manufacturer is offering a motor mount exchange program for MTC3 owners. In announcing the new motor mount Mugen Seiki has also released new 1.1×4 pistons that are intended for track that have higher grip or bumpier surfaces.

MXLR Turbo Fan Style Steering Wheel

New from Max Machler’s MXLR brand comes this Turbo Fan Style Steering Wheel for the Sanwa M17, MT-5, and MT-R transmitters. Wheels are a big thing in car design, not only for performance reasons, they are also a major part of the design and in many cases forever remembered in combination with the legacy of famous racing cars. The MXLR Turbo Fan Style Steering wheel is a homage to the legendary winning car of the 24h Race in 1982. The steering wheel has the original dimensions of the standard Sanwa M17 steering wheel and is suitable for all versions of the following Sanwa Transmitters – M17, M12, MT-4, MT-44, MT-5, MT-R and MT-S. While no foam not included, you can just swap your current foam onto the new wheel. Depending on the “grip” of your steering wheel foam it’s recommended to use a thin double sided tape to secure the foam on the wheel.

Bayer takes first EFRA 2WD European title

An emotional Martin Bayer is the new EFRA 1:10 2WD Buggy European Champion, the Xray driver taking the title at the Hudy Arena indoor dirt track in Slovakia 12-years after he held the 4WD European title. With the race coming down to A3, it was Bayer’s team-mate David Ronnefalk who finished second with Team Associated’s Joona Haatanen completing the podium. In qualifying four different drivers produced TQ runs, the first coming from Bayer with a second TQ run in Q5 declaring him the Top Qualifier. Fastest in Q3, Schumacher’s defending Champion Michal Orlowski would start second ahead of former Champions Ronnefalk, who took Q2, and Sworkz’s Joern Neumann who set the pace in round 4 of qualifying. In A1, the Top 3 ran in close order for the first 3-minutes until a mistake from Orlowski that dropped him into a battle with Team Associated’s Joona Haatanen but contact put them both out of the hunt for the win. Coming under pressure from Ronnefalk, Bayer was driving defensive and with just over half a minute to go the Swede made a pass for the lead and made it stick. In A2 we would see Orlowski’s title defence end just after the 1-minute mark with a mistake coming onto the back straight. With Ronnefalk promoted to second he chased down Bayer but the Czech driver held on for the win while Team Associated’s Joona Haatanen completed the Top 3. With A3 an Xray shootout, Ronnefalk didn’t take long to get passed Orlowski setting things up for a great race but then a series of mistakes dropped him out of contention allowing Bayer to take the win ahead of team-mate Bartek Zalewski, the Polish driver finishing fourth overall.

1up Racing TC8 Bumper Brace | UltraLite Body Support

Adding to its line of optionals for the Team Associated TC8, 1up Racing has released a Front Bumper Brace and UltraLite Front Body Support for the 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Made in the USA from carbon fibre, the Front Bumper Brace & Body Mount Plate adds both form and function to the TC8. It also adds a second set of body mount locations, spaced further apart to move your posts away from pesky hood ribs or to better suit the shape of your body. Matching the style of the 1up Racing Rear Vertical Plate, the front version features the same dual-level design. This plate accepts the original body posts included in the TC8 kit. The Front Body Support braces the hood area of your super light weight bodies to keep the structural integrity intact for consistent aero and downforce at high speeds. The design of the 1up Body Support features racy, goose-neck wing inspired styling while having minimal influence on chassis flex. It’s easy to install with just two screws into the front bulkhead, on top of the upper bumper plate. Then, install the included lightweight M2.5 Pro Duty Titanium Screw and set the height to just touch the underside of the hood when the body is at correct race-ready height.
