Rêve D introduce new SPM titanium screw line

Rêve D from Japan have introduced their new line of super precision machine cut SPM titanium screws. The titanium fasteners are cut from high-quality material for a low weight and exceptional stability and durability and they are available in several variants including 2-piece servo screw sets, 2-piece motor mount screw kits, a 2-piece wing mount set, as well as 4-piece M2x5mm cap and M4x8mm set screw kits. The servo mount screws allow for secure servo mounting as the 4.3mm diameter flange fits snuggly into most servo case lugs, ensuring the servo will not move under load. The 7mm long motor mount screws allow to fasten the motor without using additional shims as they offer a 7mm head section for improved reliability of the whole assembly. The wing mount screws offer a 7.8mm head diameter and they are of a low-profile design, making them ideal for touring and drift car body shells. The M2x5mm cap head screws are usable for most clamp-type wheel hexes, adding bling when the tyres are off while reducing unsprung weight. Last but not least come the M4x8mm set screws that are usable as droop screws in many applications, reducing unsprung weight and adding corrosion resistance.

Trinity 22X-4 & 22 5.0 Elite ceramic bearing sets

Trinity have announced the release of two new Certified red seal ceramic ball bearing sets for the TLR 22X-4 and 22 5.0 Elite buggies. The high-quality bearings come pre-oiled using a lightweight synthetic oil and they don’t need to be cleaned and broken-in like standard greased bearings. However they need the odd drop of oil now and then to maintain their full performance. The sets include all required drivetrain and wheel bearings and they are available from now on.

Yeah Racing MST RMX2.0 carbon fibre upgrade set

Yeah Racing have announced the release of their new carbon fibre upgrade set for the MST RMX2.0 drift car. The set replaces all of the original plastic parts with matte finish carbon fibre items that optimise the chassis’ flex characteristics while adding visual impact. Cutouts in specific areas further fine-tune the overall flex which leads to improved grip during cornering. Included in the set are the lower main chassis, the split top deck, front and rear shock towers as well as mounting hardware.

Muchmore Impact Super LCG 7.4V 5800mAh LiPo battery

Muchmore have introduced their all-new Impact Silicon Graphene Super LCG 7.4V 5800mAh LiPo battery pack. Built from highest quality 130C cells the ultra low profile pack offers a high capacity and a super low internal resistance and thus improved power supply for both modified and stock class racing. The pack weighs in at 240g and measures 138.5×46.7×19.5mm with the ultra low profile design greatly lowering the car’s overall centre of gravity for improved corner speeds especially in high bite track conditions. The hardcase pack utilises 5mm bullet-type connectors and it will hit stores very soon.

Team Associated B6.2 & B6.2D Team Kit 2WD buggies

Team Associated have unveiled their new B6.2 and B6.2D Team Kit 2WD buggies. The B6 platform introduced the use of two separate chassis configurations and the new B6.2 continues this theme. The B6.2 will be the buggy of choice for high-grip carpet or turf track surfaces with its 3-gear Laydown transmission assembly and anti-roll bars for optimal mass balance. The B6.2D includes both 4-gear Layback and Laydown transmission assemblies to fine-tune mass balance to track conditions; add to that the addition of +1 Ackermann plates and gull wing suspension arms to tune the steering for razor-sharp feel and control. Both cars share many great features, such as an easy-access differential, outer rear hinge pins captured with bolt head and locknut for increased durability, new symmetric rear arms that can be flipped to allow an in- between rear shock mounting position, and a new slipper assembly. The setups and tuning parts remain interchangeable between the two configurations.
