Novak Hammer sensored 1/10th scale controller

Available soon from Novak is the intermediate-level Hammer 1/10th scale brushless speed controller. The sensored ESC is good for the use with 2S to 3S LiPo battery packs and down to 8.5T motors, making it ideal for a range of on-road and off-road applications. The controller is factory-defaulted to LiPo mode with reverse turned on and drivers can customise the firmware to suit their driving style, including throttle curve, brake power and many other parameters. The firmware also includes thermal overload protection, low-voltage protection, and motor lock-up protection for added reliability. Additionally, on-board diagnostics are standard in the firmware including a motor sensor checking test, error sensing, and on-board temperature diagnostics. Designed with a silicone gasket sealed case, the Hammer is protected from the elements such as water, dirt, and other debris and it comes pre-wired from the factory with gold-plated bullet connectors for easy installation.

Blaze Racing T4 alloy chassis & brass arm mount

Polish company Blaze Racing has introduced an aluminium main chassis plate for the Xray T4 as well as a brass front arm mount. Starting with the chassis, the part is cut from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium and it features angled cut-outs in the battery and electronics area to improve torsional flex compared to the usual full-surface chassis. This can help to gain traction and cornerspeed especially in medium-grip conditions. The chassis comes in natural colour but further customisation with anodising or engravings are possible. The second new part is the brass front arm mount. The FF part is designed to work with the original composite suspension inserts and it is a welcomed tuning option for medium-high to high traction conditions. Both parts will become available very soon.

TLR 8ight-T 4.0 1/8th nitro truggy kit

Team Losi Racing have introduced the latest incarnation of their successful 8ight-T platform, the 8ight-T 4.0. The 1/8th nitro race truggy received a subtle make-over with the vehicle sporting a new suspension geometry and drivetrain refinements. The updated suspension geometry makes it easier for drivers of all experience levels to turn faster lap times with fewer mistakes, particularly during brutal, hour-long mains while the engine has been repositioned to reduce the front centre driveshaft angle so more power makes it to the front wheels. Another change to the suspension are shorter suspension arms that narrow the track width by 5.5mm on each side. This benefits handling on tight sections of the track by making the vehicle more dynamic and allowing it to transition from one direction to the other more quickly while new, machined aluminium shock towers have new camber link and shock location holes that give racers more tuning options for changing track conditions.
