HB Racing has released a few details on their new D819RS 1/8th scale nitro competition buggy. The kit is based on their popular and successful D819. The RS variant features a new 2 mm shorter chassis, rear suspension geometry utilizing a V3 shock tower that allows to adjust wing and body height while new rear shock shafts and lower shock mounting ball cups offer improved durability.
The 2020 variant of the Xray XB4 1/10th Scale 4WD Electric Buggy will soon arrive in hobby shops. The 2mm 7075 T6 aluminum chassis was lengthened and narrowed in the front and rear sections to create the clearance necessary for the new suspension holders and narrower geometry, increasing stability, traction and steering.
The chassis also has a lower motor mount that allows the motor to be placed in a lower position that improves the cornering speed.
Blaze RC has presented their new DK4 1/9th Scale 4WD dual purpose RC car (it can be changed easily into a Buggy and a Rally car). This innovative model features a traditional shaft-driven system, 3-diff, adjustable suspension with threaded aluminum body bleeder cap shock absorbers, aluminum servo mount and a multi-flex chassis for tuning the model for different track conditions through a screws system.
What makes the Blaze DK4 Desert Rally quite unique is that all composite parts of this pre-assembled model are manufactured by XRAY (as far as I remember this is the first time the European brand collaborates with another company to create something for bashers)!
