Yokomo Racing Performer BL-RPX3 Competition

Yokomo has announced the arrival of its new flagship Racing Performer BL-RPX3 Competition Speed Controller. The RPX3 surpasses the performance of the previous and well established RPX speed controller. While maintaining the power to reach maximum RPM instantly, Yokomo say the throttle feel has been optimised by smoothing out the RPM rise range, adding controllable characteristics that prevent breakdowns even when power is increased. An auto mode that changes boost in accordance with throttle opening is also included, enabling high-boost driving with a linear image. The boost value can now be increased to a maximum of 75, whereas in the past the upper limit was 60, and instantaneous power has reached a realm far beyond the imagination. A system to change the program in conjunction with a smartphone application is also under development and due for release as soon as it is ready.

Factory Team Vertical Ballstud Mount Set

Team Associated’s Factory Team brand has released Vertical Ballstud Mounts for the RC10B74 series cars, including the B74.2 and B74.2D. These vertical ballstud mounts increase the tunability of the rear camber link, allowing for lower ballstud positions to be used as well as a further outward ballstud position. These pieces mount directly to the tower included in the kit. The intent of these mounts is to allow drivers more versatility than what is available on the kit tower, particularly regarding mounting the inner rear ballstud, which affects the roll center and camber gain of the car. The extent of the available adjustment range will depend on multiple factors such as differential height, hub height, link length, and more.
