RC Maker have introduced their new heavy duty steering limiters for the Awesomatix A800 touring cars. With the design based off the brand’s super successful original lightweight cam steering limiters, these heavy duty ones are solid and 1.6mm thick making them more durable against crashing, especially on harsh indoor tracks. Adjusting steering lock is an incredibly important tuning option, and one that is not simply done with reducing the dual rate on the transmitter. These provide a “stopper” which is a much more effective way of limiting your steering lock. The limiters provide four different steering lock settings thanks to the offset cam style design, which allows locks ranging from 22 deg inside to 29 deg inside (with the AM14LS, 1mm Ackerman + 1 deg toe out) simply by loosening the main screw, rotating the plate and re-tightening the screw. The set includes two limiters and it is available now.

New for the Tamiya TRF1903 formula pan cars is the WTC wing-to-chassis mount from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand. The carbon fibre and aluminium assembly will ensure increased rear end grip, better handling, improved stability on bumpy tracks and more predictable cornering. The mount moves the rear wing mount from the power pod to the centre chassis area, reducing unsprung weight. The design ensures only 20g of added weight and the set includes the WTC mount as well as a U-shaped connecting brace for the left and right side motor mounts.
Ruddog Distribution have introduced the new RDRP aluminium bellcrank arm for the Team Associated B74 buggy, a direct replacement for the standard carbon fibre part. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised for wear and looks, the bellcrank arm offers improved strength and greater durability as it replaces the somewhat weak original carbon fibre part that can break in heavy crashes or when touching track boards. The arm mimics the original steering geometry and it comes with machined silver edge details for factory looks.
