RC Explorer, the Hong Kong company behind Team Powers electronics and car manufacturer RaceOpt, has released a new 1:10 Front Wheel Drive 1:10 Touring Car, the FFV4 Dolphin.  Featuring a more traditional front motor mount design compared to some recent FWD category kit releases.  With mid mounted steering, which is controlled by a rear mounted servo, and a forward mounted battery this shifts the car’s centre of gravity significant towards the front for greater traction.  At the rear the RaceOpt FFV4 Dolphin features a single shock with torsion beam suspension.  Different strength beams can be mounts to adjust the torque…
Japanese radio and servo manufacturer KO Propo has announced the upcoming release of its latest electronically controlled power switch the Electrical Switch 4.  With a new case size that is about half that of the Electrical Switch 3 the switch is intended for use on GP powered cars.  A CPU memorises the power status (ON/OFF), so it can prevent power-off caused by connector connection failures due to vibrations specific to gasoline engine cars or momentary disconnections during overload.  It features a full-colour LED to display the battery mode (cut-off voltage) and remaining battery power.  This allows you to check the…
Having released a Retro-Mod body for the 1:24 Losi Micro-B back in October, Leadfinger Racing has produced a Retro-mod body and wing for the larger 1:16 Losi Mini-B.  Pushing the buggy body styling of the 1980 through the Retro-mod hastag, the South Carolina based Offroad bodyshell manufacturer is planning to expand its offering of Retro-mod bodies to some of the current 1:10 buggy brand offerings currently on the market.  Modern bodyshell design, both in offroad and onroad, is always a subject that divides opinion with many feeling the current offerings are nothing like the real category which they are supposed to…
German bodyshell producer PIP-Aero has released a new addition to its range with the Apex 1:8 Onroad Body.  The body comes to fruition after a whole season of testing on various tracks around the world, with the company making ‘many many mould changes’ before arriving at the point they exactly wanted.  The body offers very direct on steering with fast corner speed in both fast and slow corners, and benefits from decreased drag on main straight.

JConcepts have gone retro with its latest body shell creation with the release of the Protector body for the Team Associated RC10B7.  The buggy that started it all in 1984 is always in style and JConcepts appreciates a stroll down memory lane and revisits the golden years of RC Racing.  The new body shares some styling cues from the original days of the RC10, and RC10B4 as some of the most popular kit bodies of all-time.  This is a CAD design body shell but has its roots set in the 1980’s, 1990’s, and early 2000’s with rear biased cab, smooth…

Team Associated is kicking off 2025 with another classic re-release by offering the RC10GT Gas Truck Kit that was originally released back in 1993.  The RC10GT changed the world of RC Racing by introducing nitro engines into the competitive world of racing.  Amassing countless wins, the RC10GT forged itself as the most iconic gas truck ever created.  It was designed as a nitro-powered stadium truck, building upon the legacy of Team Associated’s earlier successes with electric models like the RC10 buggy.  With a focus on durability, performance, and user-friendliness, the RC10GT quickly became a dominant force in the growing segment…
1:28 specialist manufacturer RC Atomic is kicking of 2025 with the release of the MRX ‘Master Edition’ chassis kit.  Based on the double PNWC 2024 title winning chassis MRX, the Hong Kong manufacturer has further refined the design of the car and made the centre of gravity extremely low.  This kit allows users to choose between from the traditional horizontal battery and the straight battery configurations.  In horizontal configuration, battery and equipment’s mass are more centralised and car handling will be more aggressive, and it is suitable for small tight tracks.  In Straight battery configuration, mass will be slightly moved…
