Vortex Racing Aeris 30mm fan duct

Coming from Vortex Racing is their new Aeris fan duct for common 30mm fan units. The duct has been optimised to keeping the motor as cool as possible for increased overall performance and less fading towards the end of a run. While cold air is forced through the fan and duct, a specially-shaped air vent helps hot air to escape which further increases cooling performance. Two recessed sections on the sides allow for easy fan insertion and removal. The duct is made of high-tech resin for exceptional durability and less changes or cracking.

VSR Products NB/EB48.8 wing shims

VSR Products’ popular 1/8 scale wing shims are now available for the Tekno 1/8th scale platforms. The addition of the 7mm or 10mm wing shim elevates the rear wing of the NB48.4 or EB48.8. Raising the rear wing creates more downforce and stability at high speeds and on large jumps, and has worked well on large high-speed and bumpy tracks. Raising the wing allows it to create more consistent downforce, thus making a more consistent car throughout the corner. Both 3-D-printed shims come with two metric screws to replace the stock ones, and offers a tuning option between no shim and the VSR 10mm shim.

RC Maker V2 body anti-tuck wing mounting set

RC Maker have introduced their new V2 light body anti-tuck wing mounting sets for the most popular 190mm touring car bodies on the market. Our brand new Anti-Tuck Wing Mounting Set Lite V2 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. Weighing 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. Using the existing upper wing buttons, racers can screw directly into the strut securing it at the top whilst also securing the wing. The new design also offers 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 your body lasts longer. The strut is produced by Australia’s highly regarded 3-D-printing experts Think RC. These are constructed of a rigorously tested, flexible, yet strong plastic material which allows them to be used time and time again between bodies. The struts are currently available for the Protoform Type-S, Zoo Racing DBX, Preopard and Hellcat as well as the Mon-Tech Racer 2.
