Xray has added a hard composite precision molded hub for their X4 1:10 Electric Touring Car platform. Hard composite is softer than Graphite material and thus generates more mechanical grip on the car and improves side traction. Recommended for low-medium traction asphalt tracks and very-low grip carpet tracks. The hubs allow full adjustability of the axle height to adapt the car to every condition. The aluminium front steering plates and rear ARS plates are easily mounted depending on the hub’s location. The design of the hub is universal with the same part used at all four corners with corresponding extensions.

1Up Racing has introduced their new UltraLite 30mm High-Speed Aluminium Fan with integrated guard and optional Brass Chassis Mount. The fan sports a short 30mm cable with basic 2-pin connector that works with many speed controls and they also include a 200mm extension cable with JR connector should you want to plug it into your receiver or hard-wire the fan. They have cover nearly mounting solutions with included 2.5x6mm and 3x6mm screws. The perfect compliment to the new high-speed fan, is a Brass Chassis Mount allows you to easily mount the fan to nearly any car and keeps the weight as low as possible for improved centre of gravity helping to increase stability and improve corner speed on any surface. A channel runs under the fan to keep your wiring neat and again, as low as possible. Simply use servo tape to mount this to your chassis and use the two included button head screws to mount the fan. Rather than rigid mounts that screw to the chassis, the use of servo tape helps dampen vibrations improving the life of the fan as well.

Blitz has released a new 1:10 touring car body with the CLA being the latest addition to its line-up. A fundamental feature of the CLA design is the air channel that’s designed to direct airflow along the centre of the body – from the roof to the rear trunk. This helps to increase stability especially when traveling through high-speed sections of the track. However, in lower-speed corners, it allows the body not to bog down and thereby increasing corner speed. In addition, the CLA’s rear wing tower moves the location more outside to align with the body tower, it will reinforce the rear wing mount and minimize flex in this critical area, especially on the light version of this body. The CLA body design complied with IFMAR GBS rules. It has also been homologated by EFRA with approval number EFRA 4087. CLA body is available in both standard 0.7mm and light weight 0.5mm versions and comes with a light decal, window mask and wing mounting screw set.
