Marka BD7 floating fan mount & black drive cups

Marka BD7 floating fan mount & black drive cups

Italian company Marka Racing have two new aluminium option parts for the Yokomo BD7 2014 and BD5 available in the form of a floating fan mount and black front spool drive cups. Starting with the fan mount, the CNC-machined 7075 aluminium part offers a special design that minimises the influence on the chassis tweak as only one screw is used to fix the mount to the main chassis plate. The black anodised holder is usable with most of today’s 25mm, 30mm, 35mm and 40mm fans, it weights in at only 2.3g and comes with mounting hardware. The sturdy design allows to mount smaller 25mm and 30mm fans with only one screw to minimise weight gain while larger 35mm and 40mm fans should be fixed with two screws. The part is a direct fit on BD7 2014 and BD5 cars but using the mount on a 2015 spec car requires a mooting hole to be drilled by your own.

CRC Xti-WC 1/12th scale pan car kit

CRC Xti-WC 1/12th scale pan car kit

CRC’s 2014 IFMAR World Championships winning Xti-WC 1/12th scale pan car kit will soon become available for the public. Building on the winning heritage from the multi-champion Xti and Xti-Altered Ego cars, the World Champion edition features a new chassis and a front sub frame U-plate as well as minor geometry tweaks to allow both stock and modified racing right out of the package. The main feature of the new design is the front sub frame that uses six attachment points rather than four. The “double decker” design coupled with the increased mounting positions results in a much more rigid front end, however, the user can remove one set of mounting points to adjust the front flex of the chassis.
