Xray NT1 Alu Monoblock Engine mount

Xray have released this optional monoblock engine mount for the NT1. Providing solid engine mounting and easy adjustment, the unique keyed-mount design allows for the easy removal and replacement of the engine without the need for gear mesh re-adjustment after every replacement. The smartly-designed mounting system consists of two components, an adjustable base mounted to the chassis, and a pair of upper mounts (sold separately) which remain attached to the engine crankcase that key to the adjustable base. The monoblock provides a stiffer design than the standard single engine mounts but is still a bit more flexible than the Multi-Flex 1-piece engine mounting system, and is recommended for low and medium traction conditions.

Pro-Line Suburbs 2.2″ Buggy Rear tires

Pro-Line have released their Suburbs for use on 2.2″ buggy rear wheels. Available in the company’s M3, MX and MC compounds for loose dirt/cool surface, blue-groove/high heat and clay conditions respectively, they were used at the 2008 ROAR 1/10 Off-Road Nationals, by Ryan Cavalieri who dominated the 2wd modified buggy class. Featuring an inner and outer radius rib tread for increased corner holding and predictable side-bite, the internal carcass webbing resist tire expansion under acceleration and deceleration while the internal sidewall ribbing maintains sidewall structure in extreme traction conditions for greater corner control. The tread height is predictable, aggressive, and long-lasting for use on a variety of blue-groove track and surfaces where you would typically run soft compound tires.

The Shizuoka show is on this weekend in Japan, and as usual the Japanese companies are out in force showing their new products at their home show.

The H-01 is the RTR version of the same car and features lightweight plastics throughout and will come with a beautiful scale body and is supplied with a 2.4Ghz radio system, as well as a charger / workbench.

We brought you the very first pictures of the prototype of the new G4II from Team Magic back at the toy fair in February and since then the car has evolved to something that looks like its close to being released. Dario Balestri, current European Champion, and Team Magic’s development driver, was in touch to let us know about the short video above that shows him testing at the Gubbio track in Italy, host of this summer’s European Championships.
