RPM Super Rock Rey front spindle set

Coming from RPM and made for the Losi Super Rock Rey truck is a reinforced front spindle set. The parts have reinforced steering arm ribs that triangulate further than stock, strengthening the steering arm to unbreakable levels. RPM also increased the amount of support material surrounding the axle bearings to improve overall strength and crash survivability. To further the aesthetic appeal, RPM redesigned the brake calliper mounts for a cleaner, more finished look and made them lighter. In addition the stock, heavyweight 4mm king pin retaining screws were replaced with lightweight 3mm versions. This simple screw size change reduces the overall unsprung weight of the spindles by four grams without compromising strength. The spindles utilise the stock suspension geometry and are moulded from engineering grade nylons for durability.

Avid clutch bearing line

Coming from Avid is their new line of clutch bearings. Clutch temperatures easily reach temperatures three times more than that of a wheel bearing and so they are specifically designed for use in clutches to withstand the high heat and loads. Balls are 20 percent larger than Avid’s standard bearing line and when combined with the deeper grooves in the races, racers get a ton more surface area to distribute the load. Grooves are made from 52100 and polished to a higher level of smoothness to keep friction down when at higher loads. Cages are made from nylon instead of steel so that during high heat expansion situations there is no chance of metal to metal rubbing which results in less drag, and better strength. The bragging are available as 5x10x4mm, 5x11x4mm and 5x13x4mm metal-shielded variants.

Awesomatix A800MMXA – Coming soon

Awesomatix have allowed a first glimpse of their forthcoming new A800MMXA 4WD touring car kit. Building on the success of the MMCX mid-motor conversion kit for the A800X, the MMXA aluminium and MMX carbon fibre kits will be purpose-designed mid-motor-only cars that feature a newly developed motor mount and split top deck design for fully symmetrical chassis flex and a wider range of flex settings. The updated design will also improve stability and reliability of the top deck when the going gets tough. The MMXA car shown here will be piloted by Awesomatix’s own Max Mächler during this weekend’s ETS season opener in Vienna with the vehicle sporting some current A800X Evo parts, such as the BSSX steering, that will be changed for the MMX kit. In addition, Max’s car also rocks some optionals that will become available separately. Full information and details on the specifications will become available in time for the release which is scheduled for this Fall.

Horizon Hobby have introduced the new Spektrum DX5 Rugged DSMR transmitter in a special orange edition. The 5-channel surface transmitter redefines radio control with a level of durability to match the tough conditions off-roaders, bashers and boaters encounter constantly. The designers started with a chassis based on the Spektrum ergonomic design found on the popular DX5C and competition favourite DX5 Pro. From there, they integrated cordless power tool feature ideas for the die-hard punishment those products endure. The result is an RC system with exceptional durability in addition to other innovative features that unite with a level of precision, versatility and convenience.

BR1 BC-T4WC Xray T4-series steering servo

Coming from Bruno Coelho’s BR1 brand is the new BC-T4WC servo for Xray’s T4 series of touring cars. Following the success of the BC-1863X servo, and to celebrate its Touring Car World Championship title, BR1 have developed the BC-T4WC (0.07s/11.0kg-cm/56g), a servo which is a must have for Xray T4 users that are looking for maximum performance from their car. It features a new all-aluminium case, as well as a receiver wire that now comes out of the back of the servo, allowing for much neater wiring. The integrated mount also has a screw hole to install a battery backstop with the low centre of gravity mount, which was characteristic for the first version of the servo, being once again the most striking feature, as it also perfectly fits the soon to be released Xray T4 2020 car. In addition the servo has also been updated internally to ensure best possible performance for the user.

Tekno NB48 2.0 carbon & brass optionals

Tekno RC have introduced new carbon fibre and brass option parts for the NB48 2.0 buggy. First up and designed to improve the look and handling of the NB48 2.0 buggy are carbon fibre shock towers. They add visual impact and can also improve bump handling and grip by being slightly more compliant than aluminium. When using front and rear carbon towers, the weight of the vehicle is reduced by 50 grams. This helps to slightly lower the centre of gravity and increases corner speed. At 5mm thick the shock stays are strong and easily withstand all but the most extreme race incidents.
