Made for the use with Muchmore’s CTXW and CTXW Pro tyre warmer units are long belt-type tyre warmers. They are ideal for 1/10th off-road and 1/8th GT tyres due to their 440x60mm dimensions. They easily wrap around larger diameter tyres, are size adjustable using hook and look straps and feature 800mm connector wires for easy handling. The tyre warmers come in 4-piece sets.
Dash have announced the all new RS-Tune series of “outlaw” competition brushless motors. The new generation features a high airflow arrow design with large openings in the machined aluminium can to guarantee maximum cooling efficiency, a lower weight and minimised power fading in high ambient temperatures. The redesigned stator helps to achieve a much lower internal resistance, increasing in torque which enhances the overall performance.The RS-Tune motors are specially designed for most Asian stock racing classes as they are already equipped with a standard (V2RSS123) rotor, that keeps them within the KV and Amps requirements. The motors are available in 13.5T, 17.5T and 21.5T specification.
Yeah Racing have announced the soon release of their new 30mm aluminium case boost cooling fan. Being housed in an alloy rather than a plastic case, the fan will make for improved cooling efficiency not only because of its optimised case design but also by adding to the overall cooling surface when mounted to a speed controller heat sink. The case design also allows to use it as a motor cooling fan for extreme conditions. The fan is 8.4V high-voltage compatible, it utilises dual ball bearings and is available in black, blue or red colour.
HRC Distribution have introduced their new HRC Racing Star Charger V4.0. The multi-chemistry AC/DC charger offers 100W of charging power, enough for up to 7A charge current, it features an all-new LiHV mode, 500mAh of balance current for quicker charging, as well as a multi-language menu including English, French and German language. The blue back-lit display and convenient four-button menu operation round out the package.

R1 Wurks have announced the release of their V21 25.5T brushless motor. Using proprietary R1 stator laminate material, specially designed stators, epoxy-bound end winds as well as ultra low resistance collector rings, the motors offers greatly improved resistance compared to the previous V16 for increased performance and lower running temperatures. The motors come including an aluminium timing ring and they are BRCA and EFRA approved with the ROAR approval pending.
Ruddog have introduced their all-new 7.6V LiHV Graphene Plus high-voltage Lithium receiver batteries. Coming in three configurations, as 2400mAh straight pack for Team Associated, Mugen, SWorkz and Xray kits, as 2600mAh hump pack for Kyosho and Tekno vehicles, and also as small hump pack for HB Racing and TLR buggies and trucks, all are built using high-quality LiHV Graphene Plus cells for increased voltage and reliability. The higher output voltage compared to standard LiPo packs will ensure reliable operation with the latest generation of HV-compatible servos and thus a peace of mind even in long main finals. All batteries come pre-wired with industry-standard balancer ports and JR-style universal connectors.
