Arrowmax 1/10th on-road aluminium wing mounts

Arrowmax 1/10th on-road aluminium wing mounts

Arrowmax have new aluminium wing mounts for 1/10th on-road vehicles available. Machined from aluminium and sporting the Arrowmax logo the plates offer a larger mounting surface than most of the standard wing mounting hardware supplied with the bodyshells. This makes for a more sturdy rear wing mounting as the plates are of a 2-screw design and yet small enough to not disturb the air flow. Coming including mounting hardware the mounts are available in purple, orange and gray colour.

Exotek Micro RS XPro chassis conversion & optionals

Exotek Micro RS XPro chassis conversion & optionals

Exotek introduce a range of option parts for the HPI Racing Micro RS4 in the form of the XPro chassis conversion, front steel CVD axles and an alloy front spool. Starting with the conversion kit, the set’s race-inspired design utilises micro servos and LiPo packs for true 1/18th scale micro style performance and looks. It makes use of 1.5mm USA-made carbon fibre for lighter weight and factory racing looks and includes a 1.5mm fibre glass T-plate for improved rear suspension flex and handling. The chassis allows to run 140mm or 150mm wheelbase settings with the T-plate being mounted via a steel block. The weight of the block also adds weight to the rear end for better handling with lighter micro sized LiPo batteries. Furthermore the set includes secure adjustable alloy servo mounts for use with micro-sized servos, it comes with a machined alloy front suspension arm pin holder and also an adjustable ESC tray that also serves as the micro battery strap.

JConcepts 1.9″ Vengeance trail & scale wheel

JConcepts 1.9" Vengeance trail & scale wheel

The new 1.9″ Vengeance wheel from JConcepts is a perfect complement to the array of 1.9″ trail and scale rig builds, projects and vehicles currently on the market. The 8-spoke wheel design is rather smooth, incorporating a triangle type cut-out about the centre for heavy street appeal. The design leaves the natural colour of the wheel showing inside the spokes which adds a touch of mystery and depth. In-between the spoke design rests the dividing sections which break up the pattern adding a bit of bite to the overall design. The entire face of the wheel has been plated with a silver coating which gives scaler’s a little more luxurious look to match-up to the variety of 1:1 inspired bodies on the market. Each pair of wheels includes a solid and open centre cap which brings even more detail to the wheel. Depending on the desired look or axle length of the vehicle, drivers can choose whichever is best for their individual needs. Moulded in black with a face plating, being unique is worry free as practically any paint scheme can be matched to these new wheels.
