RC Maker 3D Pro Carbon ultra-lite body stiffeners

RC Maker introduce their 3D Pro Carbon Ultra-Lite Body Stiffeners and Wing Mount & Anti-Tuck Stiffener Set for 1/10th EP Onroad. The biggest talk in touring at the moment is Low Centre of Gravity and Aerodynamics. Stiffer bodies normally come at the cost of weight and centre of gravity, making it difficult to have a lightweight, yet rigid shell. These one-piece stiffeners combine very thin carbon rods with the latest 3D Printing technology to provide a feather weight of only 2.5g! The centre is attached with the supplied double sided tape, and the sides with the provided M3 Screws to provide a very lightweight, stiff and easy to install solution.

RC Maker Awesomatix Damper Piston Height Set Tools

RC Maker has produced this new Damper Piston Height Tool to help make building your Awesomatix D2.2 Dampers a breeze! When assembling the dampers, it’s important to ensure the P63 piston is at the correct height throughout the build and upon completion. Traditionally you would need to keep checking and pushing the piston back down throughout the build. That’s where these handy tools come in! They screw down inside the damper shaft and touch the top of the P63 to correctly set the height. This way you can forget about needing to check it throughout the build. The tools can be screwed in and out with your fingers or a 2mm driver into the end.
