Xray XB2 ultra-lightweight Gamma 2C body

From Xray is this ultra-lightweight version of the XB2 Gamma 2C body, designed especially for high traction conditions.

More downforce was added to the middle to increase rotation in slow corners with less downforce in the rear and front giving more corner speed without diving too much.

Carisma RC GT24 4wd RTR

Carisma RC have introduced a new model in their range with the release of this GT24 RTR 4wd model. The GT24 RS is a 1/24th retro micro rally car that’s inspired by the classic era of 70’s and 80’s rally car history. The body is a nostalgic nod to the classic RWD rally pioneers, but our version stays firmly in 4wd territory, offering the best in retro looks and a modern RC driveline. With brushless power as standard, and sporting features like 2.4Ghz radio gear, a fast responsive hobby grade steering servo, rally pin tyres and a fully ball raced 4wd transmission, these 1/24th rally cars not only look the part, they perform way beyond peoples perception of a ‘Micro’ vehicle.

JConcepts analog quick reference calipers

Quick reference dimensions and size considerations are common place in the RC pit area. Racers have asked over and over for a small footprint item that is able to measure small spaces accurately and quickly. The quick reference callipers from JConcepts are analog based and capable to be locked into place to secure or save dimensions for later or to copy side-to-side. The all-aluminium built and anodised item, built from 4 pieces, is a very technical and precise piece. The quick reference tool has the ability to measure inside surfaces and outside surfaces depending on which end is chosen for use. A graduated scale is laser etched onto the item to allow the user to measure in .5mm increments. A thumbscrew allows the sliding plane to be locked into place for quick comparisons and reference distances. A display window is machined into the upper slide where dimensions are shown up to an overall length of 80mm.
