LCG aluminium eccentric insert for Awesomatix

These newly introduced aluminium eccentric inserts for Awesomatix by LCG Racing are designed and developed to reduce play in both the longitudinal and the horizontal direction. The precisely made bearing holders allow to easily fit the diff and spool as well as prevent any binding of the car‘s flex characteristics. Furthermore, the optimised fit of the bearings make the drivetrain smoother. They are made of high quality 7075 Aluminium, are anodised in gun metal grey to match the looks of the car and protect its surface and come in sets of two.

MonacoRC Medium bag V2 red zip

Continuing to renew their entire line up of bags/cases, MonacoRC have released the ‘red zip’ version of their new Medium bag V2. This bag is 2cm taller than the MonacoRC Medium bag V2 and completely customised inside with an all over print of the MonacoRC Logo. This latest version is distinguished not only by its height but also by the red zippers. Tool bag in general allows for the transportation of SkyRC type tyre warmers but thanks to its foam insert it becomes the ideal choice to carry the Icharge Duo 406 together with its charging cables. Currently there are foam inserts available for the Icharge Duo 406 as well as one for transporting batteries.

Axial SMT10 Monster Truck RAW builder’s kit

Experience the thrill of arena monster truck action wherever you bash with the Axial SMT10 Monster Truck RAW builder’s kit. The rugged, straight-axle 4wd chassis provides the perfect platform for your choice of body, tires and electronics. Axial designers went all out when creating the SMT10 monster truck chassis and roll cage. Very similar to a full-size Monster Jam truck chassis, the SMT10 tube frame was developed for maximum strength and has an extremely realistic appearance. It provides a variety of shock mounting points for suspension tuning options, with additional mounting points on the cage and at the axle for moving the shocks to a more scale, vertical position if desired. Mated to the proven Axial AR60 axle, its 4-link suspension soaks up any obstacles in its path. The included AX10 transmission is designed to make the most of your motor’s power. Its Dual Pad slipper system features a pad on each side of the spur gear to increase surface area, resulting in improved tuning precision and holding ability, while strong 32-pitch gearing enhances performance in high-torque applications. Supplied with 2.2 monster truck wheels, a helmet set and chrome zoomie style headers

Kurzbuch sets up Swiss title showdown with Rd2 win

Round 2 of the Swiss 1/8th onroad Nationals were run last weekend at Modell Rennsport Club St. Gallen where wet weather greeted racers on Saturday for qualifying. Mastering the difficult conditions it was Rudi Scherer that would come out on top, ahead of multiple ENS Champion Simon Kurzbuch in 2nd with Luca Martinelli and Oliver Krähemann completing the top 4 direct finalists. On finals day, Sunday, the weather had improved and so in the 45 minute main final the pecking order had been restored and so it was Shepherd driver Simon Kurzbuch that would take a decisive victory by over 3 laps. The runner up spot went to Andy Geisser, with veteran racer Jürg Nydegger completing the podium in 3rd place. The final round of the series will be held at Simon’s home track in MRCL Modell Rennsport Club Langenthal, where the title will be decided between himself and Silvio Hachler, the latter having won the opening round of the series.

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper rock crawler kit

Aimed at the serious RC rock crawler enthusiast, the new Enduro Gatekeeper kit from Element RC is packed full of performance features. Sporting the all-new Gatekeeper Suspension package, it 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 GK more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. Our shock mount inserts with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning whether it’s moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back.
