Daniel Vega is once again manning the Agama stand, which is part of their German distributors BSR. On show is the Agama A8 truggy, which is based of the A8 Evo buggy and which is your usual truggy conversions with longer chassis and longer arms. As with the buggy the truggy’s wishbones are able to be used on both the left and right side and on all the new cars the right front and the left rear wishbones feature reverse threads where the lower shock absorber ball is mounted to the wishbone so that the screw will no longer come loose.



For protecting the drive shafts on all their 1/8th scale cars from dust and dirt there are new optional boots that fit over the drive cups, which through the use of a small o-ring prevent the boots from rotating and coming loose.

Roche RC has released the Rapide, a F103/F104 conversion kit. The wheel base is based on the F104 as 270mm, with a selectable width of 187mm (F104) and 200mm (F103). With a newly designed motor mount set, the width between the left & right mount is wider than the Tamiya original by 5mm meaning the main drive shaft bearing is closer to the wheel adaptor. At the back there is a simple design with adjustable “U Plate” rear suspension and there are different thickness “U Plate” to setup for different track condition. A narrow main chassis design makes it more stable with faster corner speed and moreover the chassis is compatible with Tamiya F104 bodies.

Gens Ace showed us their new IMars DC charger, a small flat charger that can handle up to 6S batteries at 3.9A and 2S at 12A as well as discharge at 1A. There is a USB for upgrading the software, a balancer port for the included balancer board and a port for the optional temp sensor and the whole thing is controlled through 4 buttons on the top face. Also new from Gens Ace is the Mars brushless motor with adjustable timing and they are available in 3.5T to 21.5T. Finally they have some LiPo stick packs in 40C and 50C at 5000mAh and a 25C 4800mAh saddle pack with a 5300mAh 65C 2S stick pack also on display.
