K-Factory G4 Flash-Pit Nylon Hub Set

K-Factory hubs for Team Magic G4

K-Factory has announced the release of these new inserts for their quick release front and rear “hubs” that allow the user to have the benefit of these lighter uprights and steering blocks but now being able to use the standard IFMAR legal non quick release wheel axles. These hubs are 20% lighter than the stock versions that come with the G4 and are still strong enough to withstand impacts and the rear uprights have the benefit of allowing you to change the rear roll center by placing spacers beneath the rear upper linkage connector.

Upgrade RC Sports mat

The good people at Upgrade RC must be downing caffeine in huge quantities considering the amount of products they are pumping out recently. The latest is a scaled down version of their popular Pit Mat, called the Sports Mat and it measures in at 13.75″ x 17.25″ and so is perfect to space restricted pit areas or smaller cars too. It is made from durable and cleanable rubber and features cavities around the perimeter to stop all your screws and other small parts rolling off onto the ground.

Atomic RC have shown CAD images of their soon to be released blue anodised, and sweetly machined, aluminium cooling heat sink for the Mini-Z AWD. Mounted to the car the scoop sticks out the side of the chassis and channels air to the motor and electronics, keeping it all nice and cool, and because the whole thing is aluminium the heat will be easily dissipated too.
