Une nouvelle Touring, la A11, est annoncée chez le contructeur taïwanais ARC (Advanced R/C Car).
Aucun détail n’a véritablement filtré, mais elle , mais elle est annoncée comme comportant 95% de pièces nouvelles.
“With the A10-25, we already achieved great results across multiple races
but the A11 is a whole different step forward.
The setup window is noticeably wider, making it much easier to get on pace quickly, especially on completely new tracks. The car reacts more predictably, adapts faster, and gives you the confidence to push from lap one.”

Le manuel de montage de la ARC11:
Rien de totalement révolutionnaire, mais le soin apporté à baisser les masses au maximum et à certains détails (guidage des pièces de transmission ou présence d’un réglage de butée basse par exemple) est à relever.
On notera aussi que ARC a embrayé la nouvelle tendance initié par Yokomo et Inf1nity d’explorer des ratios de transmission avec des éléments de transmission de plus grands diamètres. ARC a en effet choisi une poulie intermédiaire de 21 dents pour des poulies de spool et de différentiel de 40 dents, soit un ratio de 1.904.
La A11 sera proposée en deux versions:
Quatre options de chassis sont proposées:
-
R158021 2.25mm Carbon Chassis:
The 2.25mm carbon chassis suited low-grip cold condition or control low-grip tire stock race, at above condition the carbon chassis give maxima grip and easy handling feel.
-
R152010 1.5mm Aluminium Chassis:
Recommended as the baseline chassis for most conditions. It provides a very wide setup window, both for asphalt and carpet tracks.
-
R153003 A11 1.2mm Steel Chassis:
The chassis, made of 1.2mm steel, is mainly used in high-grip tracks. It can lower the A11’s center of gravity to the lowest position, preventing traction roll caused by high grip. Two types of lower control arms can be used on this chassis: standard and short. When using short lower arms, steering and acceleration response can be increased and mid corner steering can be reduced, making the A11 easier to drive
-
R152022 2.0mm Aluminium Chassis:
Designed specifically for high-grip carpet, such as US CRC carpet or European high-grip carpet tracks.
