Protoform have introduced the new BMR-12.1 1/12th scale pan car bodyshell and a set of pre-cut touring car wing endplates. Starting with the body, the BMR-12.1 is based off of the BMR-12 but offers enhanced mid-corner steering for those high-grip tracks. The body also misses the centre fin and a new rear trim line greatly increases rotation. Usable in Modified and Stock classes alike the body also features a front splitter and enhanced dive planes on the front fenders for increased front end rigidity and reduced body rubbing. The BMR-12.1 fits all EFRA/IFMAR, BRCA, ROAR and JMRCA body specs and is offered in both light weight .020″ Lexan for experts and regular weight .030″ for novices.

Sanwa’s intermediate-level MT-S transmitter is soon also available as limited edition Piano Black variant. The radio will feature the same glossy black finish as the respective M12S and MT-4 variants, making it Sanwa’s third transmitter to receive the luxury treatment. In terms of features and specifications the MT-S Piano Black edition will be the same as the standard MT-S and so it allows for a range of telemetry functions, and offers SSR and SSL compatibly. The transmitter will become available by end of February.

Team Magic have introduced the E5 HX 1/10th scale RTR racing monster truck. Based off of the standard E5 the HX variant is available in four different body colours and it features a new LED light system, a powerful Hobbywing brushless system and a genuine Savöx waterproof steering servo. To this add a fully ball-raced drivetrain, a fully adjustable suspension and a 2.4GHz radio system. The truck will become available in March.

Coming from Reds Racing is the new EFRA 2143 off-road exhaust pipe. Designed to improve fuel economy and torque of Reds Racing’s own engines, the pipe, in combination with the S manifold, will increase the runtime by about 30 to 40 seconds, depending on the track and surface grip. This means up to nine minutes of runtime can be achieved with the Reds Racing R7 Evoke and the Quattro 4-shoe clutch. Additionally the torque will be increased by about 5 percent, and a more precise throttle response in the low to mid RPM range can be felt. The pipe is available separately or including the S manifold.
