the Funky bumper is what we needed. it seems to be like the 720 lower bumper, but the 733 top part. a few interesting changes to the car. cant wait.

-Wider Bumper for less air turbulence at the front (more steering in high speed corners)
-Flex System at the front
-new radiotray (less weight i think)
-new front geometry (the upper links are shorter i think)
-Do you also see new shocks???

I hope there will be more pics soon... redrc will be the first i think...
wonder how it will be named ;-)

Starting the first day of the toy fair at the Serpent stand, we were shown around the huge number of new products in their booth. First up is the new 747 1/10th scale 200mm chase which features new geometry front and rear as well as a front flex system that through the use of two tie rods connecting the front blocks to the radio plate can help adjust the chassis flex. A new radio plate retains the configuration of the 733 but with the radio box removed. A nice feature of the car is the new symmetrical chassis plate that sports an area for mounting weight to the centre line of the chassis which can be moved forward or rearward to influence the cars balance. Other new features include new RCM shock absorbers that now feature membranes again instead of the foam inserts.

Default 747

An all new chassis the 747 sports new uprights and shock rod extensions on the lower rear wishbones for additional mounting options. A new centax clutch true motion sports a tapered flywheel as seen in some of its competitors cars and a the gear diffs have been updated with smoother running gears and smaller shafts for lighter weight. We are told that the car will come in at close to the proposed new weight limit by EFRA.

Do you use DLS that often???
Since driving 733 i just tried but never used DLS....
In my opinion, DLS just makes the car feel a bit different but doesnt make it faster..
For me the car is perfect, even without DLS.

So here my question:
Do you use DLS just because its a nice and unique option or do you think it really makes the car faster???

Best regards

For me, the DLS has made the car more stable. it is easier to drive fast, and tyre wear at the rear is somewhat different. i went from doing 18 laps in 5:03 wiht a track that had some use and grip. with the DLS with very few running, and grip level was down, i managed 19 laps in 5:12. that is much faster than before. i have a setup of mine with the DLS for lower grip, but the balance is just great. PM me your email and i will send it over, and maybe you can retest it.
