New from Yeah Racing is this aluminium fan mount for easily mounting your fan on your tourer or drift chassis. Whilst fans are made to a certain thickness for less weight at a high point, it may make mounting difficult. With the aluminium base the surface area is increased making it easier to adhere. It comes in three different colours for you to choose from, black, blue & red.

Infinity’s official Facebook page have dropped the not so subtle hint of their upcoming entry into the FWD class. Simply mentioning that the new project as ‘Project number: 009’ as you can see in the photo the car is a 1/10th FWD chassis, which makes sense as many of the parts can be carried over from the IF14 project and the class is the getting more popular due to its more scale looks and unique driving challenges. More information as we get it.

From Creation Model for the Infinity IF14-2 comes some new lightweight options. Starting with this lightweight DJ CVD joint that is approx 1.2g lighter than standard steel version (approx 1.8g) by using lightweight and high strength super duralium (A7075). Throttle response is improved by reducing the rotating mass, while front tyre wear and understeer is reduced. Also available for the DJ CVD is this cross spider made using high strength super duralium (A7075) to reduce the weight by approx 36% compared with standard steel. High durability is also achieved by applying a hard alumite treatment. Finally there is this set of titanium screws for attaching the shock mounting to the IF14-II shock tower. It can be used to fine tune the steering feeling and grip between aluminium and steel.
RC Maker have released their new MTC2 SlimFlex chassis & roll centre shim plates. Building on the foundation of their SlimFlex chassis range they believe they have optimised the flex to improve the performance of the car which is reflected in both feeling and lap-times. One major change on the SlimFlex chassis is the removal of the “through” spool and diff cutouts. They have pocketed these only 1mm deep, which provides a more rigid front and rear. This directs the flex back the the centre of the chassis for more consistent handling. RC Maker have also releases new easy to change roll centre shim plates for the MTC2. Simply loosen the screws, slide one plate out and another plate in and tighten. The set includes 0.5mm and 1mm plates for front and rear, meaning you can adjust anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5mm depending on how many, and which plates you use.
Team Shepherd have released the Velox V10 AWS nitro touring kit. The latest variant of the successful V10 platform has been developed in cooperation with team drivers and selected customers around the world to take a big variety of skill levels into account. The kit features the advanced weight system chassis plate that allows the use of sliding weights at the lowest possible point of the car. By moving the included weight forward or backward the balance of the car can be fine tuned in the pitlane with ease. The related battery mount has been updated to a carbon plate instead of the composite version that was included in the AWS set previously. In the rear end the geometry has been updated slightly by moving the lower hinge pins closer together. The camber link carbon plate has been reinforced to increase the durability and aluminium dogbones and the according wheel axles replace the CVC driveshafts and improve the overall handling. The front and rear carbon shock towers feature new shock positions allowing finer adjustments of the shock position while the updated radio plate supports made of 7075 T6 aluminium give more room for a clean wiring of the electronics. Furthermore the clutch bell has been upgraded to the light weight aluminium version and the front body mount carbon plate has been reinforced significantly as requested by many racers. The kit will be ready for shipment in a few days with the upgrade set for Velox V10 2019 owners following very soon.
