On-Road...nouveauté

Discus a écrit:En effet. J'avais d'autre priorités et la fièvre est tombée. Ça fait du bien au budget.

Je vois que tu faits du off-road maintenannt. C'est une première pour toi ??? Je suis surpris par ton choix de SC. Je t'imaginais plus en buggy.

Le off-road n'est pas une première pour moi. J'ai fait du off-road au début du GRCSR (St-Roch) quand il y avait une track sur le bord du ruisseau...en 1988..
J'essaie toujours de me convincre d'aimé ca...
Le SC est tout neuf et je ne l'ai même pas encore essayé (il est à vendre en passant) .

Cependant, on ne dira jamais assez de prendre la voiture que la piste supporte les pièces ... Je m'étais fait un projet comme cela avec une Team Magic E4FS que j'avais eu vraiment pas cher parce que j'étais pas convaincu d'aimer assez cela pour investir dans un châssis à 400$... Mais quand tu casses une pièce et que tu as pas de "spare", c'est plate (surtout quand tu viens de faire 1h30 de route pour aller à la piste).

Pour la Sakura, j'ai lu que quelques pistes américaines supportes la voiture et les gars font très bien avec ! C'est certainement pas cher et très intéressant pour quelqu'un qui veut commencer en touring !

Hot Bodies TCX-X









Balance
Taking the ultimate balance concept of the TCX, the TCXX features a battery position that is set inboard as much as possible, with the motor mount further to the left to help compensate for the light weight of today’s servos, receiver and speed controllers. The TCXX can also fit the TCX motor mount if you prefer to have the motor further inward.

Control
Huge number of option pieces from the TCX and TC-FD allow you to precisely control such parameters as roll center, front and rear arm toe, camber, caster and more. The TCXX allows you to fine-tune the grip with front and rear sway bars, a front spool and an all-new gear differential that lets you forget about the complex and repetitive tuning necessary with traditional ball differentials.

Chassis
The TCXX 2.5mm chassis is extra-narrow to prevent rubbing in tight corners. The 2.5mm woven graphite is of the highest possible quality. New carbon battery holders are included to hold the battery pack securely in place.

The inner pivot blocks are a new split design to allow the chassis to flex much more than is possible with single-piece designs, giving you more grip and confidence in the corners and while under power. You’ll experience a new level of control as you hold the racing line while racing door-to-door with your fellow racers!

The one-piece top deck ensures completely equal flex over the entire car. This gives you a more balanced drive and equal handling, with a much lower chance of tweaking the car after a crash. The fully symmetrical top deck features 4 mounting holes at the front and 8 holes at the rear bulkheads, allowing you to tune the flex for different traction levels. You also have a central hole to allow for the mounting of TC-style single bellcrank steering – the option is yours! The 2.5mm thick woven graphite is of the same quality as the main chassis, meaning it’s the absolute best we could find. Finally, the top deck also holds a belt tensioner, which keeps the front belt in place during hard braking.

Bulkheads
The bulkheads carry on the TCX fully symmetrical design, and are the same front and rear, and also left to right. Featuring an extra-compact design, they allow you to run extra-long top links for increased suspension action, and the belts are also able to run as close to the centerline of the car as possible. Our eccentric cam belt tensioner is used to tighten up the belts as they break in.

Servo Mounting
The new aluminum servo mounts for the TCXX hold the servo in place more securely across the chassis for extra confidence and better driving feel. The TCXX is designed for a ‘shorty’ type servo but can fit standard-size servos if you mount the receiver on top of the servo.

Suspension
The TCXX uses many of the same suspension parts that the TC kit uses, with reversible lower arms for extra shock positions, droop screws, steel turnbuckles, plus easily adjustable parameters such as wheelbase, track width, anti-squat, toe-in and roll center for complete adjustability. The super-narrow bulkheads are taken advantage of with longer top links, which make the car easier to drive faster through the turns as the allow the suspension arms more movement.

Fine Pitch Shock Towers
The front and rear shock towers are made from the highest-quality woven carbon fiber available. At 3.65mm thick, they easily support all the load from the shocks and wheels! These are extra tough, extra stiff units, with 7 front shock positions and 8 rear positions in a linked hole style, for extra-fine track adjustments.

Upgraded Shocks
The shocks fitted on the TCXX are an evolution of the units that came on the TC and TCX – meaning they are even better than our World Champion-winning shocks! The upper and lower ends of the shock body feature extra fine-pitch threads for the shock caps, and the bottom end uses a single o-ring design for minimal ‘stiction’ – that initial grab that an old and tired o-ring can give the shock shaft. An all-new aluminum spring retainer and spring adjuster are used for extra ease of tuning and a sweet new look. Inside the shock is a new PTFE 3-hole shock piston with 1.1mm holes, plus a PTFE shock spacer for extra-smooth movement. The shocks perfectly fit the full range of HB High Quality Matched Springs, #66961-#66965.

Twin-Crank Steering
New for the TCXX is a longer twin-crank steering design, which makes the most of your control inputs and gives you more steering throw as well as fantastic driving feel on the track. The aluminum bellcrank arms float on metal-shielded ball bearings for maximum efficiency and extremely smooth response. A woven graphite steering tower bar braces the steering posts for the best steering feel you’ll find from any of today’s top-level touring cars. The steering Ackerman angle is also easily adjustable with shims under the rack ball studs. Our drivers say this steering design gives them more corner speed over the older TC-style central steering system, but if you prefer the TC steering, it is possible to fit the center steering system directly onto the TCXX.

Full Set of Sway Bars
Infinitely adjustable ball stud sway bar mounts are included to let you instantly de-tweak the car so it’s quickly ready to go for your next race. In the TCXX kit you will get a full set of front and rear sway bars to fine-tune the suspension at each end of the car. The kit includes 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4mm sway bars for the full range of HB options.

Centralized Low-Profile Motor Mount
The new motor mount sits completely under the top deck, and features two sets of mounting holes to let you choose how the motor mounts into the car. The motor mount is further to the left than on the TCX, to help compensate for the light weight of today’s servos, receiver and speed controllers, however it can also fit the TCX motor mount if you prefer to have the motor further inward, allowing you to tune the balance of the car without having to resort to lead weights.

Central Belt Layout
The drive belts front and rear have been arranged so the rear belt is on the left side of the car, with the front belt on the right side. This allows the servo and electronics gear such as receiver, speedo and transponder to sit closer to the centerline of the car, improving the balance over older touring car designs.

Quick-Change Layshaft and Pulleys
The TCXX uses one-piece pulleys fit on the layshaft with a simple pin fastening, eliminating the grub screw of earlier designs. The layshaft is narrower, owing to the more compact drivetrain design, and also uses a simple one-piece spur gear mount. With 20T center and 39T pulleys front and rear, the TCXX is more efficient at getting the power to the tires than older car designs. The TCXX can also use the center gears from the TC-FD for even more control in the gearing between the front and rear wheels.

Extra-Lightweight Front Spool
Every racing electric touring car these days is fitted with a front spool to eliminate diff action, greatly enhancing braking and increasing traction, plus the spool fitted in the TCXX is an extra-strong lightweight 3-piece design. The central part of the spool is machined from lightweight aluminum, then anodized bright purple. The outdrives are machined from steel to be extra-strong yet still light in weight.

All-New Rear Gear Differential
One of the developments in touring car racing where Team HB has led the way is the use of a gear differential at the rear of the car. This allows motors as powerful as 3.5 brushless motors to be used time and time again, without having to worry about the diff changing it’s settings – truly a ‘set and forget’ part of the car! Let the gear diff on the TCXX revolutionize your maintenance routine!

Aluminum Universal Drive Shafts
The TCXX features new 44mm aluminum drive shafts at the front and lightweight, thin, steel drive shafts at the rear for the optimum combination of durability and light weight. Lightweight steel cup axles are used for durability and strength, with a thick 2mm pin for extra durability. The constant velocity design eliminates wasted power, ensuring that when you want the power to hit the ground, it will.

IFMAR World Champion TQ and 2nd Place!
At the world debut of the TCXX, Team HB (featuring 2 drivers with 3 World Championships between them) rocked the field with a dominating Top Qualifier position for Atsushi Hara, who then went on to drive brilliantly in the 3 A Final races. Hara missed out on snatching his third World Championship by thousands of a second, but proved that the TCXX has everything that’s needed to be a winner straight out of the box!

Hé hé j'ai piqué ta curiosité

Avec un char comme ça il faut juste pas tomber dans l'achat de hupup à outrance...ça revient vite au prix d'un TC6.1 ...

Cependant, on ne dira jamais assez de prendre la voiture que la piste supporte les pièces ... Je m'étais fait un projet comme cela avec une Team Magic E4FS que j'avais eu vraiment pas cher parce que j'étais pas convaincu d'aimer assez cela pour investir dans un châssis à 400$... Mais quand tu casses une pièce et que tu as pas de "spare", c'est plate (surtout quand tu viens de faire 1h30 de route pour aller à la piste).

Pour la Sakura, j'ai lu que quelques pistes américaines supportes la voiture et les gars font très bien avec ! C'est certainement pas cher et très intéressant pour quelqu'un qui veut commencer en touring !

Je crois qu'a se prix la il est possible d'avoir deux chassis et de se dépanner avec sa !!!

Effectivement ! Je te disais cela comme ça vue que moi ça pas été un succès (mes deux E4FS m'ont coutés la même chose que ma TC6.1) ...

L'autre chose que j'apprécie de ma TC6.1, c'est qui à d'excellents pilotes, et en plus super sympathique, qui l'utilises ... Ils donnent des conseils super pertinent qui te permette de progresser rapidement

Anyway au final, c'est beaucoup le pilote qui fait la différence

Spec R R1 ( $289.99 USD)

http://www.redrc.net/2012/09/spec-r-r1-110th-electric-touring-car/#more-58346



Spec-R have announced their new release, the R1 1/10 electric touring car. Featuring high strength and high precision anodized alloy parts for added durability and style, the back bone is the ultra narrow chassis design made from high quality 2.5mm carbon, with a 2mm thick upper deck. Slimmer transmission/motor mount components are designed for improved handling and smoothness and dual bellcrank steering gives precise cornering performance. The front/rear suspension arm mounts are fully adjustable and as you would expect from Spec-R there is a lightweight and smooth rear gear differential included.

TC6.1 Worlds

http://www.redrc.net/2012/10/associated-tc6-1-worlds-car-kit/#more-58792

The Associated TC6.1 Worlds car kit builds upon the already-successful ROAR and BRCA national championship-winning TC6.1 platform with several performance-enhancing upgrades that boost the car to the next level. The TC6.1 WC is built on a new ultra-narrow 2.25mm-thick carbon-fiber chassis with optimized flex along with maximum chassis-roll ground clearance. The new narrow chassis helps reduce chassis drag during the hardest cornering. Also included in the TC6.1 WC are the Factory Team Vertical Ballstud Bearing Caps. Previously available only as a Factory Team upgrade, the vertical ballstud bearing caps provide finer increments of adjustment. This increased adjustability will allow the racer to tune the suspension with even more precision than before.



The TC6.1 Factory Team came feature-packed, and the new TC6.1 Worlds Car is no exception. Rear hub carriers and caster blocks feature integrated inserts for caster and rear-toe angle adjustment. This means you can adjust these angles by merely changing the inserts and not the whole assembly. Front and rear anti-roll bars feature the H.D.R.C. (High Definition Roll Control) system. Roll stiffness is controlled and adjusted by the two wires that mount into the sides of an aluminium center member and link to the suspension arms. The aluminium center member rolls on a bearing surface to reduce friction and provide ultra-precise movement.



The lightweight rear gear differential provides maximum performance, adjustability, and low maintenance, while the front spool features replaceable composite outdrives that still retain the low-friction, free-movement performance of the CVA blades. Symmetrical blue aluminium bulkheads are compatible with TC6 chassis components. Factory Team VCS3 shocks feature hard-anodized threaded bodies with bottom-loaded seals. The VCS3 shocks are super smooth and have increased stroke, all adding up to improved traction. Multiple Ackermann adjustment positions, improved steering input rate, and Blue Titanium turnbuckles with eyelet ballcups, all add up to an easier-to-tune platform.

déja que le tc6.1 a la cote ici! avec ca il va juste monter!!

A noté...la particularité du top deck ...

WRC Racing STX EP touring car (madie in Italy)



WRC Racing, best known for their 1/10th F1 chassis, the F-One 200, have released the first pictures of their new 190mm EP Touring car. Another brand to enter the market this year, the STX has some unique features the most noticeable being the ‘upper’ deck which utilizes two plates of carbon running perpendicular to the chassis plate to create stiffness. Along the length of the braces are struts which can be removed to increase flex. The steering servo is centrally mounted as is the norm using a very low and lightweight solution, while the steering/Ackerman plate moves along pins instead of pivoting on a central point. We can expect complete details when the car is released at the beginning of December.
