HB Moore-speed 2006 Mazda 6 MPS

Another product from Hot Bodies that we had written about previously is the Moore-speed 2006 Mazda 6 MPS, which will soon go on sale, after being announced at the start of February. From its new air splitter to the revised rear spill plates, the Moore-speed 2006 Mazda 6 MPS is all-new and all about speed and handling. The front bumper, splitter, winglets, and the new bonnet bulge all enhance steering at high speed. A deep aero-channel from the windscreen to the rear deck improves air flow to the rear wing and new lip spoiler, while new bumper spill plates aid the exit of air from under the body.

HARD Touring Car Setup System

More new stuff from H.A.R.D. Racing, this time its the introduction of their new 1/10 Touring Car Quick Set Up System. Similar to the others currently on the market, including the original Hudy setup system, the new HARD version differs slightly in that the measurements are shown on the top of the side plate while the camber plate pivots from the bottom and not hanging from the top as with many other systems which is meant to provide a more accurate reading. The system itself is made from black anodised aluminum and comes supplied with the acrylic toe plate.

Serpent monoblock LCG engine mount

Serpent has released this latest LCG orange anodised engine mono block for use with 12 size engines in the Serpent 720 which drops the engine by 1.5mm and thus helps lower the cars centre of gravity. Suitable for Picco and Novarossi based motors, this block ensures the engine mounting points are kept aligned reducing stress on the crankcase, which allows the engine to rev freer. The extra material used in the blocks, and with the addition of fins, also allow extra cooling to the crankcase and ensure the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible.
