Exotek 22S Drag rear hubs & wheelie wheels

For the Losi 22S Drag series Exotek have released two new items starting with these heavy duty rear hub set. The updated design works as either the left or right hub (hubs are non-directional) and also allows you to raise or lower the hub height thanks to the standard and optional hinge pin holes. The upright ball stud mounting matches the stock roll centre height and allows for easy roll centre changes by adding shims under the ball stud. Polished and anodised in black with silver highlights. Also new is these classy CNC machined wheelie wheels for the Losi 22S Drag car. The centre wheel is machined from billet 6061 while the tires are machined from delrin. Special touches like silver cuts on the wheel and our laser etched logos gives your car that factory racing look while adding a few grams of rear weight to the bar for more rear traction. Each wheel weighs 8grams and uses the stock 22S wheelie wheel bearings.

MiBorg TA08 Pro RCV driveshafts

Continuing to expand their product range, MiBorg have produced these new RCV driveshafts for the Tamiya TA08 Pro. Utilising the design of full-scale cars the driveshafts use ceramic balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration and more compacity compared with a double joint. This leads to a more predictable driving and in addition the wheel axles allow the use of pin-less wheel hex adapters for a better wheel concentricity. These driveshafts can be use on the rear, they bring more stability and a better control of the trajectories.

Pro-Line Front Runner drag tire & Showtime wheel

Pro-Line is ready to change the No Prep Drag game once again with a true next-generation front tire designed for maximum performance, the Front Runner Tire. Named after the front tires found in full-size drag racing, it was built from the ground up to be as lightweight and narrow as possible while still maintaining a scale appearance. The outside of the tire features a standard 2.2″ bead, so it will look like all the regular front tires from the outside, but the inside of the tire has a 2.7″ flat bead for reduced rubber weight. Combine it with Pro-Line’s an all-new Showtime Front Runner 2.2″/2.7″ black drag front wheel featuring a scale spoke pattern that mimics full-size drag wheels. Designed to be super lightweight and narrow for maximum performance, they are a strong and lightweight 12mm hex wheel making them the ideal choice for performance drag racing.

Mugen Seiki MTC2 FWD 1/10 touring car

Following the successful launch of the MTC2 electric touring car, Mugen Seiki have announced the MTC2 FWD. The kit is based off the MTC2 touring car and uses the same high-quality materials and parts. Ronald Völker was instrumental in the testing and development of the MTC2 FWD. The car has a mid-front motor layout and uses a lot of parts from the MTC2 electric touring car. The focus when designing and testing the MTC2 FWD was to get the best weight distribution along with reaching the weight limits for this class. Another focus was to maximise the number of interchangeable parts from the MTC2 to the MTC2 FWD which is key for racers, hobby shops, and dealers. The main chassis features multiple flex options as well as spots to mount additional weight while the one piece upper deck also offers multiple flex options as well as the possibility to use huge size pinions. The car comes standard with a 42gram front weight sitting under the front differential as well as a 85gram bumper weight with the possibility to add three additional 10gram weights. The rear of the car sports a body mount with horizontal body posts as well as vertical ones while the front comes with included body stoppers with additional spacers for use with FWD type bodyshells.
