Exotek B6.3 hard anodised idler gears

Fresh from Exotek Racing for the B6.3, B6.2 etc laydown gear boxes comes some new hard anodised idler gears. Machined from 7075 alloy there is a 39T and 26T idler gear which is a must have for high powered racing applications. This is much stronger than the stock plastic idler gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life along with proper slipper adjustments.

OfficinaRC X4 lower pivot ball & centre shim screw

Officina RC have presented their new lower 6mm pivot balls in titanium for the new Xray X4. Machined from solid titanium and 100% made in Italy they will offer a 40% weight saving from the original. Thanks to the titanium it will significantly reduce the masses of weight in the outermost point of the car, making it more robust, in a point exposed to shocks. Also new are these centre shim screws with central flange that have been created and designed to guarantee optimal tightening of the shock absorbers by reinforcing the anchor point and at the same time reducing the weight compared to the original ones. Thanks to the support surface in contact with the arm, the centre shim screw prevents the screw from bending.

OfficinaRC brass smart shims

Following the release of their alu smart shims, OfficinaRC have introduced these new brass smart shims. They have applied a laser on the side of the shim in order to immediately recognise its size, saving time and making everything easier. Now you will no longer have any doubts about which size it is, at a glance you will be able to identify the fitted size and no longer need a caliper. The material used, brass, plays a fundamental role, increasing the weight at the lowest point in order to help lower the centre of gravity and make the car even more stable. Measurements are defined by solid lines and segmented lines. The solid ones indicate millimetres and the segmented ones indicate half millimetres. The zig-zag line indicates the 1.75mm one. Available in the following sizes, 3x9x1.0mm (0.50g), 3x9x1.5mm (0.72g), 3x9x1.75mm (0.83g), 3x9x2.0mm (0.95g), 3x9x2.5mm (1.20g), 3x9x3.0mm (1.44g) and 3x9x3.5mm (1.66g). Each package contains 8 pieces per size.
