KO Propo BSx2 One10 Grasper steering servo

KO Propo have introduced their all-new BSx2 One10 Grasper low-profile steering servo. Offering a new case design with complex upper case machining the servo also makes use of a heatsink middle section, hard-anodised aluminium gears, a brushless motor, dual ball bearings, and a black receiver lead with gold-plated contacts. The servo is usable with 6.0V to 7.2V input and it pulls up to 10.8kg-cm at a speed of 0.09s. Although the numbers don’t look too impressive KO Propo states that due to the design of the servo it feels much more powerful and speedy on the track, making the car literally grasping corners.

Bezerk RC TRF102 carbon fibre T-plate

Coming from Bezerk RC is a carbon fibre T-plate for the Tamiya TRF102 formula car. The plate is made from 1.6mm glossy carbon fibre and it has been redesigned to add much needed strength over the standard item. Even though it is cut from less flexible carbon instead of FRP, the slotted design has similar flex characteristics to the Tamiya 1.8mm version. Testing has shown it to offer a more predictable handling with the carbon also showing a better consistency over the race distance.

Exotek introduce new DEX410 option parts

Exotek introduce new DEX410 option parts-1

New from Exotek Racing come three option parts for the Team Durango DEX410 4WD buggy. First up is the Pro Servo Mount set, a heavy duty 2-piece mount and steering brace that makes working on the DEX410 platform much easier. The multi-piece design allows to remove either the servo or the steering cranks from the chassis independently of each other. This makes trackside repairs and adjustments much easier while increasing the strength of the servo mount assembly thanks to the machined 7075 alloy components. The set is usable for all DEX410 vehicles form v1 to v5.

RSD RR12V2 & T4 aluminium main chassis

Following the 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis set for the Xray X12’16, Reflex Racing also introduced a specific variant for the RR12V2 as well as an alloy chassis for the Xray T4 line of touring cars. Starting with the RR12V2 alloy chassis kit, the set includes a black anodised and strategically milled chassis that ups the weight of the car by roughly 20g which in turn can be reduced by using lightweight electronics, screws and accessories. The chassis was developed to bring the centre of gravity as low as possible and it also includes a matching, thin carbon fibre rear lower pod plate.
