Team Associated now offer a new optional Factory Team 4-shoe steel flywheel for the RC8B3. A direct replacement for the standard aluminium version (12 grams), the steel flywheel (36 grams) is heavier and therefore increases the overall rotating mass of the clutch assembly. This offers a more stable engine idle and a smoother bottom end throttle feel.

Aimed at the serious RC rock crawler enthusiast, the new Enduro Gatekeeper kit from Element RC is packed full of performance features. Sporting the all-new Gatekeeper Suspension package, it consists of rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward, allowing a larger window for shock tuning and providing improved weight bias. The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. An adjustable aluminium track bar mount, firmly bolted to the chassis rail, gives the Enduro GK more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. Our shock mount inserts with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning whether it’s moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back.

Sunpadow has announced the release of their newest Competition Stock CS Platin series high-performance LiPo battery pack, the Platin CS8000mAh. Developed for use in stock touring car as well as 1/8 electric on road/GT classes, the internal resistance (IR) of the battery cell is further reduced, compared to its predecessor with the weight also reduced by 11 grams compared to the Gold series 8400mah, a saving which significantly improves the acceleration and balance of the chassis. The weight of 312 grams is very rare among 7.4V 8000mAh hard case LiPo battery products, and it is even more difficult to have ultra-low internal resistance at the same time.
