Exotek aluminium clamp-on fan mount

Coming from Exotek is a new aluminium clamp-on fan mount for 1/10th buggies, trucks and touring cars. Machined from aluminium and available in anodised black, blue or orange colour, the included mounting bracket has multi-mount features that allows the fan to be angled or parallel with the motor can. The angled design allows easy mounting of fans in 2WD buggies and trucks with laydown style gearboxes while for sedans the secure bracket holds the fan at a distance from the armature to avoid the magnetic fields of the motor disrupting the fans motor. The mount can also hold the fan at the end bell in cramped 4WD buggies by using camber shims for spacing. The mount is designed for use with high power 30mm fans and it fits all standard 540-sized 35.8-36mm diameter brushless motors.

T-Works BD8 +6mm extra hard foam bumper

Coming from T-Works is the extra hard foam bumper for the Yokomo BD8 and BD7 touring cars. Made of a special foam the bumper is much harder than T-Works’s already existing hard variant while at about 19g it is also about 12g heavier which allows to adjust the car’s weight bias by just changing the bumper. The bumper also extends 6mm further out the front compared to the kit part to eliminate the need to apply additional foam pieces when the bodyshell is mounted further forward on the car.
