Exotek Racing TC5X LiPo Chassis

New from Exotek Racing is this LiPo chassis for the Team Associated TC5, called the TC5X. The chassis is designed and tested to equalize lateral flex, so no more inconsistent flex problems caused by 6 large battery cut out like in the stock chassis. The net result is much more predictable handling. With the unique CNC manufactured stainless steel weights your LiPo battery can be positioned to have equal left and right balance within grams without the need to add lead weight and without raising the battery up higher. The chassis has also been narrowed to 100mm wide for less chassis scrub through the corners for better corner speed, while the servo mounting has been moved forward a few mm for extra room for other electronics.

Titanium Racing Low Friction pinions

Titanium Racing release a new range of pinions designed specifically for modern brushless motors. Featuring a longer but lightened boss for improved concentricity and an advanced F1 motorsport ceramic polymer coating for incredibly low friction, the pinion has 60% lower friction than that of hard anodized pinions. Manufactured from ultrasonically tested aero-grade 7075T-6 alloy, these claim to represent a giant leap in pinion gear technology. Tested on all modern touring cars, with all of the popular spurs, they run virtually silently. Available in both 48P and 64P.

Robitronic Aluminium Servo-arms

Robitronic now offers a new lineup of sturdy and ultra-reliable servo-arms. These new items are not your average run-off-the-mill alloy servo-horn, because they add a clever clamping mechanism that grips the servo’s spline with enough force, so that you’ll never lose or strip another servo arm again. Even if the servo’s spline-screw works itself loose, you can safely keep on racing since our clamp-style servo arms will still provide a firm grip. Available in 4 different versions and in 23T, 24T, 25T splines, each arm is laser-etched with the spline number and Robitronic logo.

Xray XB808 Lightweight Diff Outdrive adapters

Previously available for the Active diff on the XB808, Xray have released these lightweight outdrive adapters for the standard front & rear differentials. Made from Hudy spring steel, one of the toughest steel material available, the outdrives have been strategically machined to be lighter than the standard versions, while their special elongated design secures the drive shafts so they do not fall out in heavy jumps. CNC-machined on precision German long-turn machines they are additionally ground and strategically lightened to reduce rotating weight, then further hardened to ensure maximum strength and extra-long lifespan. Final precision hand-grinding ensures a very high tolerance to ensure an ultra-smooth tight fit in the diff body and diff gear.

Hudy Pinion Caddy & Pinion sets

Hudy release this tough, lightweight graphite pinion caddy, which includes posts for 18 pinion gears. Fine color printed with Hudy logo and graphics it is also available with a full range (18) of 48P (12-29T) or 64P (18-35T) pinions. The high-performance pinion gears are manufactured from special lightweight aircraft duraluminium to be super lightweight and are manufactured on a specially-modified precision gear machine with ultra-precise tolerances which assures unparalleled concentricity. After machining, the pinion edges are chamfered and then run-in. Pinions are given an even hardcoating so they stay absolute true for a long time.

Schumacher Mi4 F1 Stealth CVDs

Schumacher are now offering these high quality ‘F1 Stealth CVDs’ for their new Mi4 electric touring car. Manufactured by Titanium Racing they have been tested to the highest standards and used by Chris Grainger to win the recent BRCA National in Halifax. Careful pin positioning, reverse axle/bone orientation and the lightweight hardened alloy components used all have the effect of increasing traction and corner speed. These CVDs require Schumacher blade U1918, which is not included.

KM Racing MTX4 Radio plate & NT1 ARB

Two new products from KM Racing, the first is this carbon fibre upper deck for the Mugen MTX4 1/10th scale. Lighter than the standard version, through extra milling of the surface, it is otherwise virtually identical to the original. For the Xray NT1 their is a new adjustable rear anti-roll bar. Machined from aluminium, more flex is given through the addition of central slot, and of course the stiffness of the ARB is easily adjusted by rotation of the steel blades.
