Raceform 1:12 Pro Bodypost Lazer Tracer

New from Raceform is their latest Lazer Tracer for accurately locating the location of the body post in 1:12 On-road chassis, and tracing the location over to a new body shell. Having previous released a Lazer Tracer for 1:8 bodies, it is a self-centring system that enables the holes to be perfectly aligned to the chassis. This 1:12 specific Pro Bodypost Lazer Tracer is the only tool that is able trace the position of the body post precisely onto the bodyshell in preparation for reaming. Be it unpainted or painted, it is the only risk free tool in the world that saves you time and stress, and also a system that will change how we locate the bodypost position. Your body will look better than ever, improved consistency between changing bodies, and save you from damaging your nicely painted body. With a self centring system, you are assured of proper air flow and results in a more predictable drive. Especially in 1/12 On-road, the front post is slanted towards the front and even locating the holes on a clear body is challenging due to parallax error. Watch video here.

Exotek DR10M Alu 3 Gear Gearbox w/motor plate

Opening the New Year with more goodies for Team Associated’s DR10M 1:10 2WD drag car, Exotek Racing has released this alloy 3 Gear Gearbox with motor plate. The ‘bullet proof’ piece for your high powered DR10M build is machined from heavy duty machined alloy that keeps your gears in perfect alignment, even under the heaviest motor rpm loads. New ‘3 Gear’ option rotates the motor around and uses 1 less idler gear like other traditional drag cars for use on higher grip surfaces. 1 less idler gear makes the transmission more efficient, quieter and translates to more rpm. The chassis will feel ‘flatter’ too when launching from start. Polished and anodised black using 7075 aluminium, it is a direct bolt on for the DR10M only and includes a reversed, light weight motor plate.
