Tekno RC alloy servo arms & PVC pit mat

Tekno RC alloy servo arms & PVC pit mat

Coming soon from Tekno RC are aluminium servo arms and a PVC pit mat. Starting with the servo horns, they are designed to minimise force transmitted to the servo in the event of a hard landing or crash. They utilise a bottom mount design that, as opposed to a top mount, lowers the leverage point and helps increase the life of the servo top bearing and gears. A hefty M3 locking screw ensures the servo horn will never come loose again and the servo horn is available as 23T, 24T and 25T servo spline variant. Also new is a 60x120cm PVC pit mat. The mat is easy to roll up and it keeps the pit space clean and stylish.

SMJ short spring alloy collars

SMJ short spring alloy collars

Available now from Speedmaster Japan are alloy collars for the use of short springs on standard length touring car shock absorbers. The collars allow the use of 20mm springs on shock absorbers that normally utilise standard 25mm springs as they bridge the gap between the preload nut and the spring that occurs when using short-type springs. The collars also save time in the pits as changing spring configurations is now much easier without having to readjust the preload nut every time you swap between long and short springs. The collars are made from high-quality aluminium, they come black or blue anodised and are usable with all shocks of up to 13mm diameter and all springs of 14mm inner diameter or more.

The 3D-printed unit is tailor made for the Motiv HV Super Fan but will work in conjunction with any 30×30 fan.
