Hasi Tuned .21 manifolds

Hasi Tuned have released 4 new manifolds for .21 engines, the first of which is a conical manifold that guarantees easy tuning and low fuel consumption. This is great for middle fast track were there is normally high fuel consumption. The 2nd is a conical 90° version and offers more torque in the low and middle rpm and is a perfect choice for fast tracks. The 3rd version is a conical 90+90 and has extreme torque making it a good choice for super fast track and there is a 4th version which is slightly longer for a little bit simpler tuning and with less consumption than the std version.

Xray Active Differential for XB4/XT4

Similar in design and function to the recently released rear active differential set for the XB2 and XT2, Xray have introduced this product for the front and rear of the XB4 and XT4. The unique Active Differential is a high-performance, adjustable front or rear gear differential for XB4, vastly improving the buggy’s speed and handling characteristics. The special design of the internal components using different angled segments allows the diff gears to engage on-power to increase the forward traction, making it faster and easier to drive. While it is a performance option for serious racers who want to gain an edge on superior speed and handling, it is also of great benefit to drivers of all levels that want a more predictable and easy-to-drive car in all racing conditions.

Infinity pit mat & parts cases

Some new items from Creation Model starting with their popular Infinity Pit mat that has been redesigned. Made from a durable neoprene front complete with Infinity logo and the back of a non-slip rubber, its thickness and weight make it perfect for use in an indoor or outdoor pit area while remaining easy to fold for transportation. There are also three new parts cases with a variety of internal storage solutions. Firstly there is a parts case that contains two plastic cases with lids (outer dimensions 82x70x21mm). The convenient size is perfect for storing aluminium parts and small parts for making setup adjustments. Since each case has a lid, it is also possible to store small screws and washers. Next is a parts case that contains four plastic trays (outer dimensions 41x77x22mm) which is great for storing turnbuckles, rod ends, shocks, aluminium parts, etc. And finally is the parts case set that consists of two parts cases and a hard outer case. Convenient for storing spare parts such as option parts while leaving some space for bigger items.

Rêve D AS-01 competition drift tire

Rêve D have announced the release of their first original drift tire, the AS-01. Suitable for any competitive environment, the material selected is a HDPE compound, which is ideal for the RC drift scene in longevity vs grip. By applying a matte finish to the contact surface and sidewalls, they have a stable performance straight from the packet. The Rêve D development team have done repeated testing to find the balance between high control and performance and not only on P tile and coloured concrete, but also on asphalt and carpet track surfaces. When fitted to the rear, they have optimised control over the lateral grip during drifting to a higher limit and enabled the driver to challenge deeper and longer angles.

Made with high quality and genuine 1.5mm thick polycarbonate Lexan, it is sold clear with protective film outside and comes with a pre-cut decal sheet and windows masks and the kit includes a complete set of screws, nuts and large plastic washers to properly fix the rear wing.
