Creation Model have introduced the new Infinity bulkhead alignment tool for the use with the recently introduced IF14-2 touring car. Machined from aluminium and coming in a 2-tone black and red anodised finish the block allows to straighten the front and rear bulkhead assemblies during building and maintenance. The result of perfectly aligned lower bulkhead halves are a tweak-free chassis assembly as well as a more efficient drivetrain all of which leads to a faster and more predictable ride. The set includes the bulkhead alignment block as well as two steel pins that help to further straighten the assembly. The pins can be attached to the bulkhead block during storage and transportation for more convenience.

Coming from Capricorn and made for their brand new C04 platform is an optional rear linkage system. The kit allows to use a turnbuckle and ball cup system instead of the original rear upper arm which will greatly increase the flex of the rear arms, something that can be beneficial in certain temperatures and track conditions. The inner part of the linkage will have the same adjustability as the original design as adjustments of the roll centre will be carried out by aluminium eccentric inserts.

1up Racing have introduced their new UltraLite carbon fibre winglets for 1/10th 200mm nitro sedan body shells. Weighing just 1.3g for the pair, these set a new standard for lightweight winglets and the extremely thin profile reduces drag as they slice through the air. CNC cut with 3M Extreme adhesive pre-applied make mounting easier than ever. Rounded corners not only look great but also allow for the largest winglet possible while still getting through the tech inspection without any problems. The set includes four winglets.

Coming soon from Serpent and based off of the SRX2 Gen3 buggy is a specific carpet variant that will include a gear differential as well as front and rear anti-roll bars. Like the Gen3, the carpet-specific kit is made up using 85 percent new parts, however most of the previous parts are still usable with the Gen3 kits. The car utilises a new chassis that features optimised flex characteristics while accepting optional chassis weights, allowing to adjust the overall weight as well as the weight balance for a wide range of track conditions. Updated side pods, that match the chassis and separated bulkhead supports add to the overall construction. With the use of optional carbon fibre side stiffeners the chassis flex can be fine-tuned to suit the driver’s needs.

Part of the package is also a redesigned front end with the front lower bulkhead now being mounted to the kick-up plate and 1mm thicker inner hinge pins greatly improving durability. In addition to the strength upgrades, Serpent separated the front upper camber link mount from the lower and upper bulkheads. This allows the owner to replace the parts independently if they strip out a camber link mounting hole and or the shock tower mounting holes. Other new front end features include updated steering rack and new Ackermann arms, new straight design lower front arms with a matching shock tower as well as new caster blocks and steering arms. A New addition to the SRX2 Gen3 Carpet car is an all-new front anti-roll bar/camber link mount that maximises durability, increases the support on the sway bar, and makes removal and installation a breeze. The ARB mount is super strong, and accepts various size swaybars.

Moving to the centre part of the chassis the SRX2 Gen3 Carpet offers lots of space for the electronics and batteries, allowing to create multiple layouts and thus weight bias options. The transmission is of a 3-gear laydown design and allows for easy access of the carpet-specific gear differential. The rear suspension is made up of narrow design rear pivots that use inserts to widely adjust the rear suspension that greatly differs from the previous model. Fully adjustable rear uprights as well as new track width, axle position, roll centre adjustments as well as a ball-raced rear anti-roll bar mount round out the package.
