From Rêve D comes their latest innovation, the release of their new competition drift wheel series. There are 2 types, 5-spoke DP5 and 12-spoke UL12], both look stylish and work great. By optimising the material and design, they have achieved super light weight at around 11g per piece while maintaining strength. Sufficient traction is secured by paying attention to the hexagonal hub mounting points and rim dimensions. Both offsets are 6mm, and there are two colour variations, white & black, for the first release with other colour variations to be released soon.

Aimed towards the serious RC rock crawler enthusiast, the new Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR from Element RC is packed full of performance features that are sure to impress. Featuring the Gatekeeper Suspension package (GKSTM), the GKSTM package consists of rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward, allowing a larger window for shock tuning and providing improved weight bias. The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. An adjustable aluminium track bar mount firmly bolted to the chassis rail gives the Enduro Ecto more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. The shock mount inserts with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning, whether they’re moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back.

Today’s technical plastics are of high quality, but when it comes to combining light weight, looks and stiffness at a reasonable price, aluminium is hard to beat. For racers looking for a way to finely adjust their RC8B3.2 or RC8T3.2 flex characteristics or just wanting to add some bling, RDRP now offers a black anodised version of the Associated radio tray mounts.
New from Yeah Racing is this aluminium fan mount for easily mounting your fan on your tourer or drift chassis. Whilst fans are made to a certain thickness for less weight at a high point, it may make mounting difficult. With the aluminium base the surface area is increased making it easier to adhere. It comes in three different colours for you to choose from, black, blue & red.
