LRP Vector X11 Front & Back plates

Seen on the LRP stand at the toy fair a few weeks ago and on the motors of team drivers prior to that, LRP have released a range of aluminium plates for the LRP Vector X11 range of brushless motors. Starting with this backplate with its cool black machined aluminium look, this tuning part includes cooling fins for better heat dissipation. For the front of the motor there are a pair of cover plates that improve the cooling of the motor increasing its performance, while the design of the plates means they are lighter than the standard part. Available in 2 thicknesses, the thinner front cover moves the motor more to the centreline of the car resulting in a different weight distribution of the car.

Hot Bodies Cyclone chassis posts

One part of the Hot Bodies Cyclone Carpet spec that we missed when we first wrote about it was this aluminium chassis post set with adjustable torsion control, which gives the ability to quickly adjust to changing traction conditions at a busy race. The use of these posts along with the solid upper rear and middle deck increase stiffness, while the adjustable torsion control enables you to precisely dial in your car and knock off those tenths needed to get ahead of the competition. Sold with the required fasteners and a set of 4 O-rings.
