Posted: 10 May 2021 03:00 AM PDT

The iconic track layout at Minicar Fontanellato (Italy) has been home to the annual Mon-tech Racing GP for many years now. 2021 was no exception as the race was also included in the official calendar of the Italian RC Federation (ACI Sport), thus allowing the race to go ahead with all the necessary authorisations and safety protocols. A strong 65 entries and a very competitive drivers’ field, coupled with good weather and excellent track conditions, saw some breathtaking action. In TC Modified, Gabrielle Berselli took the win ahead of Alessio Menicucci and Silvio Boni.

In TC Stock EFRA, it was Orlando Fenili clinching the victory with Flavio Paladin second and Roberto Fabiano third.

In TC Stock (with handout motors), Alex Caminati stepped on the highest podium ahead of Silvio Zanoni and Alessandro Lonardi.

RC Maker MTC2 SlimFlex chassis & roll centre shim plates

Posted: 10 May 2021 02:50 AM PDT

RC Maker have released their new MTC2 SlimFlex chassis & roll centre shim plates. Building on the foundation of their SlimFlex chassis range they believe they have optimised the flex to improve the performance of the car which is reflected in both feeling and lap-times. One major change on the SlimFlex chassis is the removal of the “through” spool and diff cutouts. They have pocketed these only 1mm deep, which provides a more rigid front and rear. This directs the flex back the the centre of the chassis for more consistent handling. RC Maker have also releases new easy to change roll centre shim plates for the MTC2. Simply loosen the screws, slide one plate out and another plate in and tighten. The set includes 0.5mm and 1mm plates for front and rear, meaning you can adjust anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5mm depending on how many, and which plates you use.

JConcepts Reflex in Aqua A2 compound

Posted: 10 May 2021 01:49 AM PDT

JConcepts have announced the release of their popular Reflex 1/8th buggy tyres in Aqua A2 compound. The Reflex tire is designed to bridge a gap between the popular Triple Dees tire and Ellipse. It has square angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tire. Typically a stacked tread will wear less and provide more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly.
