Hudy have released new dark grey versions of their lightweight set-up boards, available in 4 different sizes to fit all the different RC scales. A must have pit board accessories for every RC car racer, the new thinner set-up board is significantly lighter and more compact and so is very handy to pack for travel. Hudy set-up boards are the true and original set-up boards with exceptionally flat, warp resistant surface that allows precise set-up adjustments.
Based on the successful R8S On-Road Pan Car platform, the new R8S-21 from ARC incorporates a number of refinements and option parts for even greater performance out of the box. The main chassis has been redesigned for the R8S-21 with the slots removed to improve chassis rigidity and handling with the original chassis linkage bars have been replaced with 2.0mm chassis flex plates for increased overall stability and traction. The optional body-shell mount plate is now standard and the front droop is now fully adjustable on the R8S-21. Also standard on the R8S-21 is the steel rear main shaft for increased strength and durability. The R8S-21 now only accepts standard 2S LiPo batteries with 2 different layouts available, laid down side-by-side or stood-up along the centre. Both layouts work extremely well but offer different handling characteristics to suit your driving style and track conditions.

The YD-2 from Yokomo has undergone a major evolution, with the brand new machine bearing the name of “Z”, which can be said to be the final form. It is equipped with a new 3-split transmission case on the shape-up main chassis and will start as a new standard machine. A new integrated bulkhead is used around the front to improve the left-right balance of the steering and improve operability and the new upper deck is compatible with slide racks as standard in the kit, and steering characteristics suitable for various situations can be obtained with minimal changes. The gear case of the 3-gear transmission has also been newly designed, and the maintainability has been greatly improved by dividing it into three parts. Since you can access the differential simply by removing the cap on the rear side, you can easily handle even ball differentials that are frequently maintained. In addition, the motor position can be selected from 13 stages by rotating the motor mount, making it easy to obtain the balance of the centre of gravity according to the road surface, from low mount to high mount. With 3 gears, the throttle response is outstanding, and combined with the rear traction produced by the supple main chassis, it is a very capable machine.

Having teased the release of their new FWD chassis, Creation Model have introduced the all new Infinity 1/10 IF14-II FWD. Sporting a compact steering system that has been specially designed to achieve the ideal front-rear weight balance. The heaviest items of the car such as the steering servo, motor and battery are laid out towards the front section as much as possible. In addition, a dedicated balancing weight is installed inside the front bumper. By having a layout with the battery on the right hand side of the chassis and the steering servo and other electronics on the left side, an ideal left-right weight balance is achieved. The car has excellent throttle response thanks to the front drive belt being as short as possible while adopting a mechanical layout that takes weight balance into consideration. The front and rear suspension parts are taken from the race proven IF14-2 and offer a wide range of tuning and setups possibilities with the gear differential, front drive shaft and centre pulley are the same as IF14-2.

OfficinaRC is pleased to present these new solid titanium machined screws for the Mugen MTC2. The titanium screw replaces the original screws and are used to mount the MTC2 top deck. These replacement titanium screws improve strength and endurance thanks to their high quality material. Ti-6Al4V is the most widely used titanium alloy in the motorsport and aerospace market. It contains 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium, an excellent combination of endurance to efforts and toughness, with extra resistance to corrosion.

RC Maker have presented their new V2 Top deck range for the Mugen MTC2 and one-piece range for the Awesomatix A800MMX. Building on the development of their first MTC2 version, they wanted to produce their own pivot screws to improve the adjustability and efficiency of the flex, and also strength of the top decks whilst achieving maximum pinion clearance. The end result is the V2 & their new SlimFlex 1-piece. With the twin top deck being the standard on the A800MMX, benefits were still being seen of the single-piece design shifting the flex point forward for increased steering. RC Maker developed two very successful top decks for the MMCX years ago, and have optimised their design, adjustability and pinion clearance, to bring you the SlimFlex 1 piece & CentraFlex top deck range for the A800MMX. They also have a cool little turnbuckle holder tool. This concept was originally developed by MR33, they have tackled it a different way and think it helps a lot to keep your ball cups flat while making adjustments to your camber and caster.
