Beituo Models has introduced the DTT Series Metal Center Differential Mount (Product No.: 99017). All components are made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and precisely machined using CNC technology, ensuring superior accuracy. Compared to the original plastic mount, the full-metal structure not only provides enhanced stability but also reduces the risk of bearing failure during high-speed driving.
Additionally, the gunmetal gray finish exudes a sleek and sophisticated look, combining both functionality and aesthetics. This product is compatible with all configurations of the Beituo DTT series vehicles.
⚠ Note: This product includes front and rear center differential mounts and an upper cover. Other accessories shown in the images are not included!
Xpress has unveiled more details about its first-ever rally RC car—the Arrow AT1SR!
The Arrow series incorporates the best features from the Execute touring car series and integrates them into a shaft-driven system. Equipped with a floating gearbox, it enhances chassis flexibility. A specially designed motor mount makes gear mesh adjustments effortless. Additionally, the car introduces various advanced designs, making it race-ready straight out of the box. As a sport version, some material choices have been adjusted to keep costs down, but it still offers plenty of upgrade options to meet your needs!
At the recently held 2025 TITC event, Xpress invited Keith to test the AT1 prototype fitted with new rally components. Here’s what he had to say: “Compared to the Execute XQ11R, the AT1SR, with its long-travel shocks and higher ride height, performed exceptionally well on jumps under the driver’s stand. The shaft-driven powertrain made it easier to maintain power over jumps, resulting in more consistent landings. However, I opted for the XQ11R for this Thailand event, as the off-road sections were limited. I decided to sacrifice jumping performance in favor of better cornering capability.”
Arrow AT1SR Features
Updated steering assembly with off-road geometry.
Front and rear skid plates to protect the chassis and minimize impact damage.
Long-travel, large-diameter shocks for consistent off-road handling.
Lexan chassis cover to shield electronics from dust and debris.

Tamiya (田宮模型) has released the 1/10 Mazda 787B RC car, an electric remote-controlled assembly kit based on the Mazda 787B. The original car made history in the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans by becoming the first Japanese-made car to win the overall championship.
Tamiya 47518
This new model features a composite chassis comprised of an ABS resin bathtub main frame, front and rear resin space frames, and an FRP plate on the underside. The front suspension utilizes an independent Kingpin spring structure, while the rear suspension employs a 3P system that controls a 1.5 mm thick FRP T-bar and is equipped with a CVA oil-pressure shock absorber. With the use of shims, the front suspension can be adjusted in two stages and the rear suspension in three stages. The direct-drive 2WD system, featuring a sport-tuned motor, transmits power directly to the spur gear and is paired with a ball differential that operates smoothly with a limited-slip effect. The wheels are made with one-piece molded hubs fitted with high-grip sponge tires. The body is adorned with vibrant paint and has been pre-painted and marked. Overall dimensions: approximately 475 mm in length, 217 mm in width, 106 mm in height, and a weight of about 835 grams. The product code is 47518, and it is scheduled for release on March 29, 2025.
Related Introduction: In 1991, the Mazda 787B became the first Japanese-made race car to win the overall championship in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Developed on the basis of 13 years of racing experience at Le Mans, it is powered by an R26B 4-rotor engine.
Thanks to advanced technologies such as a variable intake system, a triple spark plug ignition system, and peripheral intake injection, the engine’s maximum output reaches 700 horsepower. Among the three 787Bs that competed, car No. 55—driven by V. Weidler, J. Herbert, and B. Gachot—gradually improved its position from 19th, surpassing Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, and the 1990 defending champion Jaguar XJR12. It ultimately covered approximately 4,923 kilometers, breaking the previous year’s record and achieving a stunning victory.
