Serpent Eryx 4.0 carbon fibre & aluminium chassis

Coming from Serpent are three different main chassis plates for the Eryx 4.0 touring car. First up is a 2.0mm carbon fibre chassis that is working well on both asphalt and carpet tracks. It helps to generate a good amount of rear traction and a bit less steering and it also comes in handy to avoid traction rolling on super high-bite tracks. Also available is a 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis for asphalt racing. It helps to gain steering and response on the expense of a slightly nervous and edgy car behaviour. Last but not least is a 2.0mm aluminium chassis for the use on carpet tracks. It makes for a lower centre of gravity and less traction rolling while keeping a good balance between steering response and an easy to drive car.

Schumacher CAT 12.5 degree alloy yokes

Schumacher have introduced 12.5 degree alloy yokes for the CAT 4WD buggy. The parts are made from black anodised aluminium and using them makes for more on-power steering coming out of the corner while increasing straight line stability. This will help on bumpy tracks but with the loss of some initial steering. The laser-etched hubs have the same features as the kit plastic 10 degree yokes as well as an optional longer camber link and +1mm wheelbase adjustment.

LMR YZ-2 stainless steel battery spacer weight

New from LMR comes a stainless steel battery spacer weight for Yokomo’s YZ-2 2WD mid motor buggy. The weight comes in at 75g and it will improve grip and stability. Running the weight behind the LiPo gives more traction and the buggy feels like it is run with a big LiPo and it can also be used up front if necessary.

Mugen droop gauge & MBX7 balance weights

Mugen Seiki have introduced a droop gauge as well as two balance weights for the MBX7 line of off-road vehicles. Starting with the gauge, the tool is made to easily adjust the suspension droop as it slides over the upper shock mounting nut while the lower scale helps to read the actual suspension droop. The gauge is large enough to be used on both the MBX7 buggy and MBX7T truggy and, when used with the shocks alone, it also comes in handy to determine the shock rebound. Also new are the 20g and 40g balance weights for the MBX7 cars. They can be used in the front and the rear of the nitro-powered vehicles while the electric-powered variants only allow to mount the weights behind the front gearbox. The balance weights are marked for easy identification and they easily attach using screws and the pre-drilled holes in the chassis.

Xray T4’16 aluminium flex chassis

Xray T4'16 aluminium flex chassis

Xray have introduced the aluminium flex chassis for the T4’16 touring car. Cut from 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised and with silver chamfered edges the chassis will offer improved flex over Xray’s standard alloy chassis, thanks to adapting a popular design that utilises herringbone-shaped flex cutouts. The increased torsional flex makes the chassis ideal for low to medium-bite conditions as it helps the car to generate more traction, stability and steering.
