Yeah Racing SCX10 III brass diff cover

Made for the Axial SCX10 III trail truck is a new brass differential cover from Yeah Racing. The part is machined from high-quality brass material and it weighs in at 41g, allowing to add weight in one of the lowest areas of the chassis in order to extract more tyre traction and thus climbing performance if needed, all while also adding a bit of stability to the axle assembly. The cover sports a laser-engraved Yeah Racing logo for looks and it will hit stores very soon.

Yokomo introduce new BD10 & YZ-4SF2 optionals

Available now from Yokomo are new optional parts for the BD10 touring car and the YZ-4SF2 4WD buggy. Starting with the BD10, the rear belt tensioner is a simple yet effective part that attaches to the rear chassis cross brace, touching the belt from underneath in order to prevent it from skipping on the rear differential gear under load. The result is improved belt life especially when running modified motors. The set includes the machined aluminium belt tensioner, a ball race, shims and screws.

RC Maker low-profile front body stabiliser

Coming from RC Maker is their innovative new shock tower attachment that increases the body’s downforce transfer to the car, whilst also preventing bodyshell flex and roll, causing scrubbing in the wheel arches. With modern body shells being low and thin, the downforce generated by the bodyshell isn’t effectively transferred to the car due to the flex of the body, especially in the front-mid section. The front body stabiliser transfers the downforce directly into the top of the front shocks, increasing the car’s steering in corners, and stability on the straights. As well as this, they prevent the body rolling onto the outside tyre in cornering, effectively preventing wheel arch rubbing as the front body stabiliser helps prevent the bodyshell rolling during cornering, by supporting it widely over the wheel arches. The stabilisers are adjustable in height, and can be further adjusted by adding foam on top of the platform. They fit all modern low profile shock touring cars such as the Xray T4’20, Yokomo BD10, Infinity IF14-2, ARC R12, Schumacher Mi7 and more, and are an optimised fit for the latest bodies from Xtreme, ZooRacing, Bittydesign and Protoform.
