Zeppin Racing TC6.1 & T3 2012 top decks

Zeppin Racing have released new 2mm flex top plates for the Team Associated TC6.1 and Xray T3 2012. The original top plate for the TC6.1 was engineered for firmness and in addition the upper deck is too wide meaning it touches the motor which restricts flexing. This newly designed 2mm thick top deck is 2mm narrower (-1mm each side) to avoid touching the motor, plus extra holes provide a bit more flex in order to improve overall traction. Aiming for more steering on the T3 chassis, they have deliberately made a narrower top deck to increase steering, especially in mid corner.

Sweep Racing Tendroid 1/10 offroad front tire

Sweep Racing have released their new Tendroid 1/10 offroad front tire with grey medium foam. Just like its big brother 10Droids front will works best on indoor clay surfaces and there will also be a tyre only version for the drivers who wish to use their own inserts. Also new from Sweep are these flexible nozzle for glue bottles. The 2 step neck design is usable on all our Sweep glue bottles and thanks to the precision molding work, this nozzle keeps glue from leaking. If it gets clogged, you can trim the nozzle back a little at a time for extended life of glue.

Exotek S411 ultra narrow LiPo chassis

Exotek Racing have released this ultra narrow LiPo chassis for the Serpent S411. This extra soft chassis is aggressively shaped for extra flex over the stock S411 chassis and uses US made bi-directional layup carbon fiber for maximum flex traits. The rear section has added cut outs for greater flex at the motor mount for increased rear end stability allowing you to drive into corners harder and power out faster. Great chassis to have to extend tire wear and generate maximum grip for controlled tire races. Also new is a steering crank brace for the S411 which stabilizes the steering cranks without stiffening the top plate to maintain natural grip and consistent steering.
