Vision Racing Products A319 motor mount stiffener

Vision Racing Products have released first images of their forthcoming new motor mount chassis stiffener for the Agama A319 buggy. Made from 7075 aluminium, coming black anodised and re-machined for looks, the stiffener brace incorporates the outer engine mount and a stiffener brace to reinforce the flywheel area of the chassis, which can be beneficial when running on very bumpy tracks or landing huge jumps as the brace ensures constant gear mesh while keeping away the clutch screw from the fuel tank. In addition prolonging brace can keep the chassis from permanently bending in the highly machined engine and flywheel area.

Tamiya have announced the soon release of an aluminium transponder mount for the WR-02CB Comical buggy range.

Smokem X20 MYD 2.0mm carbon fibre top deck

Smokem Racing have introduced their new MYD top deck for the Serpent X20 mid-motor touring car. Machined from 2.0mm high-quality carbon fibre the top deck is of an asymmetrical design that features a narrow 9mm front section which was found to deliver balanced flex characteristics despite the asymmetric design. The results are improved traction, increased in-corner steering and corner speed. The design also ensures the top deck will never make contact with the motor as the chassis flexes, with clearance for large-pinioned spec class gearing and it can also be easily removed, making spur gear and belt changes a breeze.
