Kyosho MP10 hard spring servo saver assembly

Kyosho are busy adding more Inferno MP10-related option parts to their portfolio. The latest is a hard spring type servo saver assembly. The construction consists of composite bellcranks and it built using a hard retainer spring that ensures a crisper steering reaction in high-bite track conditions. Using the servo saver requires heavy duty steering servos with durable metal gears in order to prevent the servo from becoming damaged. The servo saver set also fits the older MP9 series of kits.

RDRP B6.1 black +5mm 7075 aluminium chassis

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new +5mm 7075 aluminium chassis for the ultra-popular Team Associated B6.1 2WD buggy. The main plate adds 5mm of length for an easier to drive car especially in high-bite track conditions such as carpet and astro turf, allowing to pull faster single laps while offering greater consistency over the whole run at the same time. In addition the chassis will also improve handling on bumpy surfaces where the main plate will ensure improved stability. The chassis is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium for strength and optimised flex characteristics while the black anodised surface ensures high durability and factory looks. Machined silver edge details and laser-etched RDRP logos make the part stand out. The main plate fits the B6.1 and B6.1D kits and is usable with most “under servo” and “under electronics” weight kits.

Xray T4 adjustable battery holders

Xray have introduced their new fully adjustable battery holders for the T4 touring car. Their design allows to move the batteries front and aft by 4mm as well as left and right in order to fine-tune the car’s weight balance. The battery mounts do away with the need to run the battery tape under the chassis, instead it is run as a loop which prevents the chassis from becoming tweaked while also ensuring a more secure battery pack mounting and optimised chassis flex. The battery holding system is available in a lightweight carbon fibre and aluminium variant as well as a heavier brass and carbon fibre version, the latter adding 7.5g of weight which comes in handy when running lightweight battery packs.
