Klinik RC have announced the release of their new wing saver buttons for all popular 1/10th off-road buggies. Made in house at Klinik RC from 3mm carbon fibre, the wing shims feature a unique 3-step and pocketed design, making them super light, while adding some bling and ensuring the rear wing lasts much longer.
ST Racing Concepts have introduced their CNC-machined aluminium rear bumper mount eliminator brace for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. Designed for drivers looking to have a cage-style body setup the bumper eliminator brace gives the TRX-4 a clean look while providing more strength and rigidity to the rear part of the chassis rails. The part is available black, blue, red, gun metal and silver anodising.
Coming from Maclan Racing is their new MR8.3 electric brushless motor for 1/8th scale applications. The MR8.3 is 4.5mm shorter and up to 25g lighter than its predecessor with an all-new stator and rotor design offering a more linear and smoother power band along with higher efficiency for an overall lower power consumption. The motor also features an additional sensor port for easier wiring and it comes in the two kV options of 1900kV and 2100kV. For the best overall performance Maclan Racing recommends to use the motor with the soon to be releasing MMax 8 speed controller, however they are usable with all other sensored 1/8th scale brushless speed controllers too.
Merlin McFly have introduced their new topdeck for the Serpent X20 touring car. Designed by Lennart Skornia, the new upper deck has been optimised to improve the flex characteristics of the chassis in high traction carpet conditions as it reduces the overall torsional flex of the chassis both front and rear resulting in easier and more consistent lap times. The flex can be adjusted by either using screws or removing them from the top deck. The parts can be personalised or customised upon request.

During this week’s 2020 IFMAR 1/12th scale World Championships Awesomatix are showing off their forthcoming all-new 1/12th scale pan car platform. Still in prototype stages the company has yet to finalise the design, however we now got a first taste of what to expect with Awesomatix team manager, Max Mächler having released some images on social media. By the look of things the car will be of a pretty revolutionary design with the obvious absence of a centre shock absorber and tube side damper(s) as they are common for most electric pan cars. The front end is made up using lots of carbon fibre while the uniquely shaped “U” main chassis is made of aluminium on Max’s prototype. Overall the vehicle is of a very low profile design even by the measures of the somewhat extreme 1/12th scale cars with the performance being there from the get go as “new-to-12th-scale” Max seeded 3rd overall in the LMP Spec class. More details are expected to surface during the week.
Arrowmax have released first teaser images of their forthcoming new Medium FWD chassis conversion for 4WD touring cars such as the Xray T4, Yokomo BD9 and Serpent 4X. The sets will allow to convert existing all-wheel drive touring cars into competitive FWD cars that sport a mid-motor layout for optimised agility and handling while a heavy brass front bumper plate ensures exceptional traction in most track conditions. Full details will become available very soon.
