Schumacher Racing Cars introduces their new High Grip Track conversion kit for the Mi8.

The standard Mi8 has proved to be a safe and easy to drive car that generates plenty of grip, and is particularly competitive in lower grip conditions.
The Mi8 high grip track (HGT) conversion features an alternative suspension geometry to free the car up in the corners and create more rotation. It also includes new shock mounts to lower the centre of gravity.
This geometry was used by Michal Orlowski to reach the IFMAR worlds A final last year, and to recently win the ETS race in Daun.
The conversion kit includes a new chassis, top decks, wishbones, shock towers, and required hardware.

Destiny has released new FLEX type graphite lower arms for their RX-10SR 3.0 and RX-10F 3.0 cars. The arms are made by 3mm graphite material. The shape and the design design is made more flexible than the kit lower arm are offering. The result is more stability and easier to drive.  Suitable for low to medium taction conditions.

Destiny Part Numbers:

O10399 Graphite Lower Arm, Front & Rear, Flex Type

O10400 Graphite Lower Arm, Rear (caster 5°/4°), Flex Type

Mon-Tech has released a new Touring Car and FWD bodyshell. Both bodies are listed for ETS Season #16 2023/24 and can be used at all races. The Zero2 is the successor of the well-known ZERO touring car body, while the CIVIC is a new and wonderful looking shell for the famous FWD class.
Mon-Tech offers the bodies in a standard 0,7mm version, as well as in a 0,5mm La Leggera (Lightweight) version. The CIVIC is only allowed at the ETS in the 0,7mm standard version . Mofidied and Pro Stock racers can use the ZERO2 in both weight options, while the 21.5 Stock and 40+ Masters drivers can use the 0,7mm standard shell.

Mugen Seiki is excited to announce the NEW MTC-2R electric touring car kit. The MTC-2R is an evolution of the highly successful MTC2 platform. Ronald Völker won the ETS championship two years in a row with the MTC2 plateform and it’s now time to release the next generation MTC2R with several updates and improvements. Ronald and the team rest of the development team tested on many different surfaces and conditions to develop the MTC-2R.

The MTC-2R features several new parts to improve the feeling on the track

• New single bellcrank steering arm, is mounted directly to the LCG servo mount which makes the steering input more linear and helps greatly reduce slop in the steering assembly.
• New ball-bearing drive shaft´s increase consistency and precision on the track.
• New silicone X-Ring for the dampers allow smoother working dampers and increase consistency throughout a race.
• New damper position is optimized bringing better overall grip.
• New caster adjustment increases durability and is easier to work on the car.
• More durable damper balls.
• Fine tuning belt adjustment.
• All in one shock towers with both fixed and active shock mounting.
• Less set screw.
• New high quality composite parts making spares more affordable.
• New optional parts and tools will be available as well with the release of MTC2R.

New for the Awesomatix A800R electric touring car is a series of parts for the shocks, the anti-roll bar, and the front bumper.

New are the AT143 ARB Stiffeners, which increase the stiffness of the stabilizer by up to one step. +1 step stiffness increase means that 1.0 mm rod acts like 1.1 mm rod, 1.1 mm rod acts like 1.2 mm rod, 1.2 mm rod acts like 1.3 mm rod, and 1.3 mm rod acts like 1.4 mm rod. 1/2 and 1/4 increments of increase can be set.

Also new are the ST05-R shock rods which add “friction type” damping in suspension operation. ST05-R slides along ST102 with noticeable friction during suspension travel. Friction damping compresses the suspension more = more damping, even at low suspension speed. Oil damping: more speed of suspension travel = more damping. Low damping at low speed of the suspension. With ST05-R, the car rolls and dives slower and responds faster to steering input. A800R damper settings that were good with ST205 linkage should be 10…25% softer when using ST05-R.
