Tamiya have announced the soon release of the TRF420 aluminium front spool cup set. Originally designed for the TRF420 the set is also of use for TRF419 and TA07 where the lightweight aluminium outdrives reduce rotational masses for better acceleration. The outdrives come with a special surface treatment for wear while the included driveshaft cups further improve the durability of all parts involved, such as the driveshaft pins.

Making use of the new-for-2021 design of the real Formula 1 rims and tyres, Sweep Racing’s pre-mounted tyres offer 27mm width for the front and 40mm width for the rear, making the 1/10th scale cars look a lot more like the real thing.

Muchmore have introduced their new Fleta ZX V2 ER Spec stock class brushless motor that comes including the MR-FZR27TIX 12.3x5x24.2mm titanium rotor. Available as 17.5T and 21.5T variant, the motor will produce increased torque which comes in handy especially for blink buggy classes and when running in high-bite traction conditions. Besides the rotor, the motor makes use of the same features as the standard ER Spec series, meaning it utilises the highly machined Flow-Max 2 aluminium can, a high-power stator, heavy-duty solder tabs and an adjustable timing end plate.

The Drumstick race was held at the RC Clubhouse track in Warren, Michigan last weekend. The race saw around 130 entries which is a pretty standard for this race every year. In the 4WD Buggy A-main 2nd place qualifier, Xray’s Mark Sousa made a pass for the lead on lap one but then got together with the 2nd place driver and Mark went back to last on the first lap. However he was able to come through the pack all the way up to 1st and then slowly extended his lead from there to take the win from HB Racing’s Mike Valentine Jr. in 2nd and TLR’s Seth Rippee in 3rd. In the 2WD main it was Charlie Maiorana with the win from Russ Bryant on the runner-up spot. Mark Sousa struggled with a last minute setup change and ultimately had to settle for 3rd overall.

RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon front bumper plate with stopper for the Xray T4’20 touring car. The plate and stopper feature a stylish, stealthly and innovative design and the parts add extra protection to the front of the car as the support contacts the bulkheads and prevents impacts from snapping the main chassis and are very important. The design integrates the stopper under the main bumper plate, lining up with the bearing mounts on the front bulkheads. In the event of a crash, the force will be transferred through this and keep the chassis in tact, with minimal effect on the bulkheads. The brace recesses over the small bumper posts enabling it to get low enough to align with the bulkhead. When tightening the upper plate, it clamps the whole assembly down tightly. Upon resting, there is a 0.2mm gap between the bulkheads and this support, to prevent any rubbing and tweaking. The bumper plate also features three sets of holes, allowing drivers to adjust the bodyshell forwards and backwards as seen on the standard plates. The integrated stopper does not move, it will be in the same place regardless of the body post position. Due to the design, the plate can also stay in place when removing the front anti-roll bar.

The second round of the Winter Race Morava was held last weekend with more than 90 entries for the classes of Hobby, Formula, Touring Stock, Touring Modified, 1/12th Modified and 1/10 GT Pancar. In Touring Stock, Radko Cernohous took the overall TQ, but Simon Horak managed to get past him in the finals for the overall from Radko Cernohous in 2nd and Karel Kratochvil in 3rd, making it an all-Xray top 3.

The Formula attracted 26 entries with some Czech top drivers such as Lukas Hoch, Simon Horak and others in attendance. Ultimately it was Lukas Hoch who took the TQ and win with Simon Horak pushing him to the limit. The track conditions were really hard, low grip changed to lower grip and this was happening all day. Behind Lukas it was Simon for an Xray 1-2 with Serpent’s Tomas Sova coming in 3rd overall.

The latest 1/8th buggy to receive Leadfinger Racing’s A2.1 Tactic body shell treatment is the Agama A319. First introduced in mid-2019, the A2.1 Tactic body design has proven itself on the track with a handful of different platforms. Fitment, performance and looks are key in every design, and every platform presents different challenges with each layout. The Agama was no exception. Fuel tank location, and the position of throttle and brake bias linkages needed to be taken into consideration. LFR were looking for a low profile and sleek design to fit the A319 perfectly. The designers were able to combat these differences by stretching the rake of the windshield and adding to the size of the side pod scoops for just the right amount clearance. To keep performance in check, additional down force was added to the rear of the side pods and rear centre of the body. As things started to come together, Leadfinger Racing topped off the cab with a shark fin for stability. To finish off the design the body includes a front scoop for even more tuning ability. As usual the body comes moulded from high-quality polycarbonate material and it includes window masks and a decal sheet.

Available soon from JConcepts is the Aqua compound Detox 1/8th buggy tyre. Designed for demanding track conditions, the closely spaced tread creates the ultimate long main event tyre and combined with the compounds such as blue, green, R2, O2O2 and Y2 and now, aqua gives racers an option for just about any temperature requirement. The design revolves around the centre structure which has hefty lugs arranged in a stacked configuration. The lugs have strategically placed cuts and grooves to allow flex in dusty conditions to perform even if the track is deteriorating while a long main is in progress. The outer portion of the tread fits together like building blocks, with shapes placed together that nest well but also work together to flex laterally to provide steadfast side-bite. The tread tapers off cleanly to the outer side-wall giving a smooth transition during hard cornering. The tyre comes including Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts.

JConcepts have introduced the 2.2” 2WD and 4WD front tyre variants of their popular Ellipse tread. The Ellipse, named after the centre bar built into the tread, is a compliment to successful tyres such as the Dirt Webs and Space Bars. The “web” style tyre was built to compete on smooth high-grip indoor and outdoor surfaces which require a finely detailed connected bar pattern. The centre section of the tire is a home run utilising a diamond “home plate” footprint to provide massive surface area for better footprint and increased longevity. The web of extensions are unique and have a directional touch giving the racer the ultimate tune-ability. Jason Ruona explains, “The Ellipse front tire has a slightly wider carcass, it allows the driver to attack high-speed sections with more comfort and smooths the steering of a 2WD buggy. The “home plate” and connected web of tread has a large footprint and 1000’s of edges to produce steering connection. Connected tread wears together which is useful racing indoors where a racer requires surface area to produce steering.” The Ellipse tyres are available in a huge selection of compounds such as blue, green, aqua, gold and the ROAR National Champion, silver compound. Included in each package, the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts known for their durable nature and grey colour complete the race tuned package.
