Sirio have released their new power clutch set that is suitable for use with the Xray NT1 and the Kyosho RRR range of 1/10th scale cars. The bell housing (above) is sold as part of the set and features cooling fins that allow the temperature of the clutch to stay low without the removal of material which could compromise strength, and reduce clutch shoe contact area. The bell housing is also available seperately and doesn’t come supplied with pinion gears, those that come with the Xray and Kyosho will fit.

RB Products L2G Cooling head

RB L2G Cooling head

Lowering the center of gravity is a main concern for any driver and this is why the R&D department of RB designed a new lightened head for a lower center of gravity. Using magnesium was a first step, but the heat conductivity of this material is pretty different compared to the aluminium and that is why Rody Roem designed a brand new head to have more fins around the hot spot of the plug. This Light head fits any RB engine which comes with a separate combustion chamber: it receives a dark grey coating and the new L2G logotype. This head will be produced in a limited quantity as an optional part and will be available in mid May.

Serpent have announced the release of this new SPP aluminium clutch shoe support disk for the Centax-III clutch system. This lightweight part has a larger diameter than the standard support disk and therefore removes all possibility of the clutch flyweights getting stuck behind the disk and causing the clutch system to stop working or from even coming out of the clutch completely.

CRF Engine Tuning parts

CRF Backplate

Around the time of the Nurnberg toy fair we wrote about some of the new items from CRF and now these parts are about to be released to the public. Amongst these revolutionary products is the CRF Back plate (shown above) that improves the mixture transfer to the cylinder and provides better cooling from the bottom of the crankcase. Also being released by CRF is the double inlet system, that works on all motors and prevents the engine getting too lean or rich, depending on what direction corner you take, by giving the carburettor a constant amount of fuel from both sides of the engine.

Other items include a set of 3 exhaust spacers, in 1, 2 and 3mm thicknesses, that allow you to fine tune the length of your fixed CRF, or Mielke, exhaust system as well a large venturi that gives your CRF engine more torgue and better fuel economy and finally a new conical combustion chamber that is meant to give your CRF engine an extra 1.5kmh as well as faster top speed and acceleration.
