We saw in the Kyoshosan blog the other day, that the Citroen WRC´s are now being manufactured. This means that in no time at all we will have the first editions of this model in stock.
This week TRP will have in stock the new KIY de Kopropo and, contrary to the first version which included a sterering wheel, left-handed grip and central unit, the new TRP version allows for the transmitter to be sold in separate parts. This will potentially make it much more affordable thanks to the fact you won´t be obligated to buy duplicates of the same component. For example, a left-handed person can now purchase the left-handed grip, the central MiniZ central unit and the steering wheel extension separately. This way there would be no need to discard all three components (the right-handed grip, FHSS receptor and the standard transmitter steering wheel) for the sake of one.
In no time at all these items will be available to you.
RC atomic has launched a new motor on the market for your MiniZ.
This motor is designed for stock MiniZ ASF motors (i.e. the 2.4Ghz without turbo or Multifet sytems).
It consits of 38 wire coils, which inclines us to think that it´s at the cutting edge of electronics technology. Its rotor is balanced and the encasement comes with neodymium magnets, producing a velocity of 20% more than the Atomic Stock V.
The manufacturer recommends a ratio of 1:55.5 or greater.
The motor develops from 36,000 to 38,000 RPM.
The use of FETS or internal turbo will evidently augment the motor´s performance.
With 66 names registered two categories and fearless drivers, the Italian organizers put together one of the greatest of the MiniZ events circuit. Well known drivers and also novices went shoulder to shoulder last Friday, knowing very well that an amazing week was at hand! At one o´clock in the afternoon Stock motors were handed out where there were more than 47 individuals registered, of those who took part in the qulifying legs. It must be noted that some drivers had a bit of a hard time with setting up their cars due to the high amount of grip of the Madrid track. This was primarily due to the use of rubber tires as opposed to silicone ones, which really increased the traction of the circuit, finally allowing drivers to clock times comparable to those recorded on tracks in other countries such as the United States.
We´ll fill you in shortly on the race results.
