Cheat Parts YZ4FS front lower suspension block

From Swiss brand Cheat Parts comes this front lower suspension block for the Yokomo YZ4FS Mk.I and Mk.II. Improving the front end geometry it will give you more adjustability and equals out the front and rear roll centre. Front lift during acceleration and front dive during braking will be reduced and you can run the car with less ride height, therefore lowering the centre of gravity. By speeding up lateral and reducing longitudinal geometric weight transfer the car gains response and stability. The new bumper design is working as an airdam, preventing unnecessary air flowing under the chassis and with front aero lift reduced, cornering speed in fast turns will increase. The part is machined in Switzerland from Swiss 7075 aluminium and anodised in black for improved rigidity.

Hobbywing XeRun 4268 & 4274 G3 series motors

Hobbywing have announced their all new XeRun 4268 & 4274 G3 series of motors for 1/8th scale applications. With options available for both onroad and offroad the new motors feature a built in chip that means it can be easily identified when pairing with Hobbywing’s XeRun XR8 series of ESC, allowing it to work in the sensored mode at all times for better performance. With this pairing the motor can also utilise the Turbo timing function which has been brought over from the 1/10th offroad to unlock maximum power from your motor. The motor can also have the mechanical turbo timing accurately adjusted in both clockwise and anti-clockwise between 20-40˚. The efficiency of the new motors has also been greatly improved over its predecessor with the efficiency improved by around 6% which helps reduces the heat build up in the motor. Featuring the first ‘error-free’ Hall sensor system it ensures the independent high speed and high-precision encoder always outputs pure rotor position signal, avoiding the interference of sensor signal, making the motor function more stable. The design of the G3 has also been optimised to reduce the weight of the motor with the can machined from a since piece of aluminium, the onroad version featuring additional cutouts. The 4268 is available in 1900KV & 2200KV for offroad and 2000KV & 2800KV for onroad, with the longer 4274 coming only in 2250KV.
