Large wheel arches allow the driver to shift the body forth and back a couple of millimetres in order to fine-tune overall steering and rear balance. The YSOT is available as standard thickness body, weighing in at 78g, while the thinner La Leggera variant weighs in at only 62g. The EFRA approved body includes window masks and a decal sheet and it will hit stores very soon. Source: Mon-Tech [mon-techracing.net] http://www.mon-techracing.net/…

The alloy mounting plate also provides cooling of the diff fluid for more consistent diff action while the machined delrin spur gear provides robust durability along with smoother spur gear operation. The set includes a 53T 32 pitch spur gear that is also available separately. Source: Exotek [exotekracing.com] http://www.exotekracing.com/et410-machined-32p-spur-gear-and-mounting-plate/…

…package consists of 2 cars, 2 radios, batteries, chargers and the ball or puck to play with. The cars are scaled at 1/32th and feature a body shell that is shaped at the front and rear to allow the user to somewhat control and drive said ball or puck into a goal. Very reasonably priced, the focus is on fun and by including two in the package it ensures that it will be. This would make a nice gift for the holiday season and could be a great stepping stone to get more kids into RC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD2dWv4nSaU Source: Associated [teamassociated.com]…
