RC Maker GeoCarbon universal battery clamp set

RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon universal battery clamp set designed for the use on nearly any touring car using the pivoting clamp style method for securing the battery. Styled in RC Maker’s signature GeoCarbon look, the parts bring an appealing aesthetic to the car. Constructed from 3mm carbon fibre, they are lightweight but also very strong and they are finished with a countersink for that dialled low profile appearance. The clamps include an O-ring for each side, which are recommended to sit under the clamps, on-top of the post.

RDRP B74 Slipper Eliminator

Ruddog Distribution have announced the release of the new RDRP Slipper Eliminator for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy. The direct spur gear hub is the ultimate option part for all stock racers as it greatly lowers not only the drivetrain’s rotation masses but also the buggy’s overall weight, making for blistering fast acceleration, lower motor temperatures and thus more power towards the end of the run. The slipper eliminator weighs in at about 17.4g including the supplied ultra lightweight 72T main gear, scrubbing about 50 percent of weight compared to the original slipper assembly it is replacing. Due to its lightweight design the slipper eliminator is best used with motors of more than 10.5T as it will not withstand the power of modified motors.

Team Brood Racing B-Mag Magnesium washers

Team Brood Racing’s B-Mag Magnesium washers are a first of their kind tuning option made for discriminating racers. Precision machined from AZ31 grade magnesium and nickel-plated, these washers are ideal for a variety of applications – ball stud risers, hub spacers, steering knuckle spacers, etc. Most know that magnesium is about 35 percent lighter than a comparable aluminium part, but magnesium also offers superior dent resistance for improved precision over time, and is able to be machined to incredibly strict tolerances for more accurate suspension settings. Most importantly magnesium has the highest known damping capacity of any structural metal available. B-Mag magnesium washers are available in multiple sizes – from 0.35mm to 2.0mm in 0.25mm increments, and 2.0mm to 3.5mm in 0.5mm increments allowing subtle increment changes and precision tuning. The size options also reduce the need to stack washers as stacking can cause binding under load, friction, inconsistent torque specs, and setting changes due to washer shift, which can impact consistency and long term performance. The washers feature a flashy nickel plated finish, but not just for the look. Nickel offers resistance to corrosion and wear, improved hardness, additional strength, and enhanced ductility. The washers are available in several combinations including 0.35/0.75mm 4-each packs, 1.25/1.5/1.75mm 2-each packs, 2.5/3.0/3.5mm 2-each packs, as 0.35mm/0.5mm/1mm 4-each and 2mm 2-each pack and also as complete tuning kit.

STRC TRX-4 & SCX10 II brass diff covers

ST Racing Concepts have introduced new brass differential covers for the Traxxas TRX-4 and Axial SCX10 II trail trucks. For stability and enhanced performance, crawler enthusiast have relied on using brass components to add more weight to the axles and to the lower parts of their rig. To help add more weight and scale realism, the brass covers come with a black surface coating for looks and corrosion resistance with the TRX-4 cover adding nearly 47g of weight to the drive axles while the SCX10 II part adds nearly 27g of weight. The covers are usable with the front and rear axles and they are available now.

RC Maker TC & 1/12th anti-tuck stiffeners

Coming from RC Maker are their new anti-tuck body stiffeners for the Protoform Turismo, the ZooRacing range of bodies as well as 1/12th scale pan car lids. Starting with the touring car stiffeners, the new Lite V2 design introduces an even more compact, efficient way of integrating wing mounting and anti tuck components. This system prevents body tucks behind the rear wheel arch during racing, as well as inconsistencies on high speed tracks and in windy conditions, causing the bodyshell to vibrate. The new V2 Lite’s weigh in at only 5g for the pair, this lightweight strut only requires one additional M3 screw other than the wing mounting screw to secure the strut behind the wheel arch. The design also features extra material that sits in the vertical part of the wing strut. In crashes this section of the bodyshell can often crush or deform, and is unable to be repaired. The brace fixes this and prevents deformation in this area, ensuring the body lasts longer.

Rebellion-RC BD9 MM mid-motor chassis conversion kit

RC-Carbonstore have announced their latest Rebellion-RC MM mid-motor conversion kit, this time for the popular Yokomo BD9 touring car. The main feature of the upgrade set is the patent pending sliding motor mount design that allows gear mesh adjustment through the chassis bottom, with the narrow design of the whole assembly ensuring the overall motor and battery width remains the same as in the “rear motor” standard car, creating a very centralised weight distribution and less unwanted chassis roll compared to current mid motor conversions. In addition the design makes for an ultra low centre of gravity while allowing integrated flex settings via up to seven motor mount screws. The sliding design also ensures a very wide gear mesh adjustment range, fitting up to 48T pinion and 114T main gears, making the conversion ideal for both stock and modified racing. The final specification of the kit now also incorporates several chassis stiffness adjustment areas that allow to brace the upper and lower deck in front of the rear bulkhead, and in front of the centre shaft – allowing to access complex chassis flex settings. Other features include the possibility to combine the aluminium colour options of black and orange with Rebellion-RC’s full range of carbon fibre twill colours. Not to be forgotten is a floating motor fan mount that attaches to the motor mount and that can be used with standard 30mm and 40mm fan units while not disturbing natural chassis flex. Included with the kit, that is completely made in Austria, also come high-quality Bando Kevlar belts as well as all needed screws and bearings. Not included however is the necessary Xray off-set main gear.

Samix Enduro aluminium shock hoop stiffener

Made for the Element RC Enduro trail trucks is a new aluminium shock hoop stiffener from Samix. The brace is machined from high-quality aluminium and it was designed to reinforce the kit’s plastic shock mounts, ensuring greater stability, precision and suspension efficiency. The stiffener plate comes black or gun metal grey anodised, with machined silver edge details for looks and it can be mounted in the front or rear but only when using the standard plastic shock mounts.
