JConcepts DR10 & SR10 +2mm motor plate

JConcepts has rolled out a sweet looking replacement motor plate for the DR10 and SR10 vehicle line-up. With the evolution faster vehicles, drag racing, and speedy dirt oval racing, a serous crash is inevitable. Looking at the typical construction of the second operation processes on standard motor plates, it easy to see why bending is sometimes an issue. The design team at JConcepts has incorporated a honeycomb milling affect with placement more suited to surrounding geometry making the plate lightweight and very rigid in multiple directions. The honeycomb features add a 3D look featuring the natural aluminium while the rest is available blue or black anodised colours. The motor plate is compatible with the Team Associated DR10 and SR10 while remaining lightweight. Slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite slim and trim. In addition, longer slots have been designed into the motor plate to allow larger pinion sizes to accommodate the needs of the hardcore racer.

Yokomo BD10F stabiliser set & competition capacitor

Two new items from Yokomo, the first of which is a rear stabiliser set for the new BD10F FWD touring car. Since the rear stabiliser is not standard equipment on the BD10F, this set is effective when you want to improve steering response and improve performance on high-grip road surfaces. Three types of stabiliser bars (1.2, 1.3, 1.4mm) are included. Also new is a capacitor for racing that maximises the performance of your ESC. When the load becomes high due to sudden throttle operation it supplements the electric power and enhances the acceleration. Each cord is attached to the battery ± terminal of ESC, but since it is non-polar, it can be used regardless of which pole it is attached to.

MiBorg IF14-II FWD RCV driveshafts

MiBorg have expanded their line of RCV driveshafts with versions for the newly released Infinity IF14-II FWD. Utilising the design of full-scale cars the driveshafts use ceramic balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration even with high steering angles. This leads to a more predictable driving and in addition the wheel axles allow the use of pin-less wheel hex adapters for a better wheel concentricity.
