Coming soon from Tamiya are several new option parts for the TB-05 club-level touring car kit.

The alloy case will prevent deforming under load for improved efficiency and smoother diff action, while also adding cooling for greater consistency throughout a run and when racing in high ambient temperatures. Another benefit is greatly improved sealing performance, making it virtually maintenance-free. The set includes a single diff case as well as a gasket and five 2mm cap screws.

ArndtCraft 30mm motor cooling fan brace

Coming from ArndtCraft is a 30mm motor cooling fan brace that was designed to prevent fan breakage in extreme off-road conditions. The brace is ideal for all WTF-style fans and it attaches from the bottom, air flow outlet side of the unit. The 1mm carbon fibre plate is very light of weight and it will improve the fan’s life when running on carpet or astro turf tracks with wood or concrete base. It supports the fan’s centre section, as well as fan housing structure, to prevent fan centre section, and housing, from deflecting under hard impact, which can result in fan breakage.

Yokomo YD-2 brake discs and callipers set

Yokomo have released this new brake discs and callipers set for the YD-2. The brake discs themselves will include an integrated hexagonal hub to be able to mount the wheels and there will be 3 hub thickness, 5.5mm, 6.5mm and 8.0mm which will are all included so that you can adjust the track width and scrub radius freely. The brake callipers, which can be mounted to new front and rear knuckles, are gunmetal colour to better represent the realistic look and finish of a real car. The set comes with new plastic steering knuckles and rear hub carriers in order to be able to install the callipers, which will be shaped to match our latest spec settings. The new steering knuckles are set for the optimum trail and kingpin angle which where referenced from the dynamics of a real drift car so steering response is improved while increasing the looks while counter steering. The steering stopper and tie rod mounting positions are also updated to the latest specifications, and the operation when increasing the steering angle also becomes smoother. The rear hub carriers are designed with new upper arm attachment positions and this new positioning allows an increase in the range of setting the roll centre and the camber change to the rear, making it possible to positively utilise the roll especially when at a low grip surface such as P tile. By keeping more of the contact area when the chassis rolls by raising the upper arm attachment position this will ensure more stable grip in the lateral direction, for more aggressive drifting.
