Arena 30mm & 40mm cooling fan ducts

Coming soon from Arena are cooling fan ducts for 30mm and 40mm motor fan units. The carbon fibre reinforced ducts will be a direct fit for the Infinity IF14 and Xray T4 cars but it is understood that they will be usable with a range of other chassis also. Using the ducts will greatly improve the fan’s cooling performance as the air is guided towards the motor can, doing away with the need to use scrap-built polycarbonate ducts or the like.

JConcepts EB410 carbon fibre upper deck

JConcepts adds to the list of performance parts for the EB410 with a carbon fibre upper deck. The new upper deck offsets the position of the fan mount which allows several benefits. The first is the ability to use the JConcepts F2 body as the new carbon fibre part shifts the fan over to clear the low-profile cab of the body. The secondary benefit realised after testing the new upper deck is the ability to use a taller fan. This is a benefit not exclusive to the JConcepts body but to all low-roof body shell types because taller fans are typically more powerful and move more air. Another positive to the JConcepts carbon fibre upper deck is the slight position change of the fan allows some lower power fans to work better without the force of the motor magnets affecting the fan, bearings or rotation.

Answer-RC D8-series short rear shock tower

Coming from Answer-RC is a short carbon fibre rear shock tower for the HB Racing D8 series of buggies such as the D817, D817v2, E817, E817v2 and the D815. The shock stay is made from 5mm carbon rather than 4mm and has pockets machined for shock mount studs and camber link studs to keep the fitment the same. Using the short tower, in combination with #HB67289 shock bodies will lower the overall centre of gravity for reduced chassis roll at high cornering speeds. In addition it is 6 grams lighter than the standard shock tower.
