Schumacher Mi7 aluminium spool/diff eccentric

Schumacher have introduced a new aluminium spool and differential eccentric for the Mi7 touring car that allows to adjust the height of the diff/spool to a new “high” position compared to the standard kit “low” position. The smart looking piece as normal is used to adjust the belt tension, as well as being able to fine tune the feeling of the car. Normally a higher front spool smooths the steering response compared to the standard low kit setting. A higher rear diff can give the car more drive out of the turns keeping it flatter whereas a low standard position normally gives a little more side bite. The eccentric features a black surface coating for wear and looks and it comes as pair.

Element RC Enduro24 Sendero RTR trail truck

Element RC have introduced their new Enduro24 Sendero ready-to-run trail truck. Whether it’s outside on the trail or in the comfort of the own living room, there’s no doubt this little rig will overcome the challenge. This small-scale, 4-wheel-drive crawler comes equipped with many features found on larger size rigs. Full-time 4-wheel-drive transmission with divorced transfer case, metal vertical chassis rails, and 4-link suspension ensure climbing over obstacles will be a breeze. Providing power and control is a 2-in-1 receiver/ESC, 2-channel radio, powerful servo, and single-cell LiPo. Just install the batteries, charge, and go. Right out of the box, the Enduro24 RTR is ready for adventure where front and rear injection-moulded 4-link suspension allows for smooth articulation to crawl over rough terrain. The chassis-mounted servo provides maximum steering while maintaining scale looks. Crawl, grip and climb over obstacles with black, injection-moulded single-piece rims wrapped in soft compound rubber tyres. The forward-mounted motor puts the heaviest part of the rig over the front tires. This forward-bias weight keeps the front tires on the ground and provides better front grip during ascents. The divorced transfer case provides a lower centre of gravity in a compact space. Not only does this combination perform well, it also adds scale realism, allowing for plenty of room should you want to add a custom body or interior.

Serpent SRX8T-e 1/8th scale E-truggy kit

Following the recent introduction of the Serpent SRX8T 1/8th scale nitro truggy kit, Serpent have announced the soon release of the electric-powered SRX8T-e. The kit will retain all of the nitro’s key factors such as performance, reliability, durability, ease of assembly as well as maintenance, coupled with an all-new suspension geometry. The truck is based on a new, narrow main chassis plate machined from 4mm 7075-T6 aluminium for a low weight and high rigidity. The universal aluminium motor mount is of a sturdy yet low-weight design with M4 screws allowing to crank it down for maximum reliability. The gearboxes are of a new 10T/46T design for an optimised final drive ratio which results in reduced rotating masses and faster acceleration. The internal differential gears are Mod 1.25 10T/20T offerings for durability and reduced fading during longer mains. The centre driveline is made up using an aluminium front centre and a steel rear centre driveshaft for the lowest possible weight yet exceptional durability as it can withstand even the most powerful motors. Also part of the package are 16mm big bore shock absorbers with X-ring seals and 3.5mm shock shafts while the included “Pro” shock caps allow to build the shock absorber in emulsion or bladder style for greater setup possibilities. The shock pistons are made of machined Delrin and they are of a 6-hole design. Other features include all-new monocoque suspension arms. They are longer, stronger and allow to use plastic or carbon fibre inserts in order to adjust their overall flex. Also part of the suspension package are ball-raced anti-roll bars, fully sealed outer driveshaft joints, a maintenance-friendly speed controller mount and receiver box as well as a versatile LiPo mount and hold down system that supports 4S block battery packs. Paintable mud guards, aluminium shock towers, aluminium 0 degree steering blocks and 15 degrees C-hubs as well as a fully adjustable steering Ackermann are also part of the extensive new features list. The kit is rounded out by plus 15mm super tough wing mount as well as a stylish new racing truck body shell. The kit should hit stores this week.
