7075.it brass chassis weight

Coming from 7075.it is a brass chassis weight for 1/10th electric touring cars. Machined from 1.5mm material and weighing in at 29g the weight was designed to be placed in the electronics area in order to add weight, and maintain the proper left-to-right balance, when running the new generation of lighter speed controllers. The weight is attached to the chassis using thin double sided tape and it is compatible with cars such as the Xray T4’17/18, Mugen MTC1 and Infinity IF14.

Tekno EB410 25T aluminium servo horn

Coming from Tekno and specially made for the EB410 1/10th 4WD buggy is an aluminium servo horn. The arm is not only stronger and less flexible compared to the plastic counterpart, but it is also designed to fit both low profile and standard height servo configurations by simply flipping it by 180 degrees. Featuring the race-proven M3 clamp and intended for use on 25 tooth spline servos, the servo horn is the ideal fit for the EB410 buggy.

Samix TRX-4 brass spring retainers

Coming from Samix and made for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck are brass spring retainers. They are machined from high-quality material, come with a black surface coating for wear and looks and their closed design ensures they will not fall off even when the going gets tough. The spring cups weigh in at 25g and thus they add weight to one of the lowest parts of the chassis for improved climb performance. The set includes four direct-fit spring retainers.

RPM Baja Rey front bumper & skid plate

Coming from RPM and made for the Losi Baja Rey truck are a front bumper and skid plate set. With the original Losi front skid plate being too stiff, preventing the bumper from absorbing impacts, RPM have designed an all-new assembly by moving the entire skid plate from between the chassis plate and differential to below the aluminium chassis plate. This move solved a couple of problems, it offers additional chassis protection while also creating a flex zone on the skid plate that would allow more movement of the bumper in impact situations, ultimately saving from costly repairs. The bumper was redesigned as well, strengthening the mount between the skid plate and bumper, yet also creating another flex zone that allows the bumper to compress under extreme impacts, yet return back to its original shape once the impact energy has dissipated, ultimately protecting the more fragile areas of the truck such as the front differential and chassis plate since the bumper now absorbs the impact instead of transferring that energy into the chassis. The bumper and skid plate are moulded from RPM’s renown nylon composite and the set will hit stores soon.

Factory RC YZ-2 carbon fibre gearbox shim set

Factory RC have introduced the carbon fibre gearbox shim set for the Yokomo YZ-2 series of 2WD buggies. It allows 1mm and 2mm adjustments to the gear box height to change the CG and dog bone plunge angle on the car. For carpet the team often runs the gear box shimmed up 2mm while using the Yokomo Z2-304C-2 and Z2-018-2 pieces. This shim set can also be used without these parts on dirt/clay tracks to increase rear grip on those services that need it. The set is compatible with every version of the YZ-2 including the 1st Gen, CA, DT, and DTM kit. Set includes both 1mm and 2mm shims for the gear box, rear “CA” style brace, and waterfall shims all made in carbon look plate. 1mm or 2mm ball stud washers are used on the rear DTM mount for adjusting height. The addition of the water fall shim prevents bind up in the transmission assembly allowing for additional flex and grip.
