From DeadFly is this new top deck for the Capricorn TE mid motor TC chassis. Optimised to improve the flex characteristics in low traction conditions, the flex can be altered by either using or removing the rear centre screw from the top deck. Additional flex can also be obtained by cutting the rear carbon tab of the top deck with a Dremel or similar cutting tool, to increase the length of the flex point, further increasing flex in the rear of the car. Together with the use of the screws under the motor mount, you have access to a large range of flex options and characteristics. CNC machined from high quality 2.0mm 3K carbon fibre there is also a version available in a 1.6mm.

Futaba have released their new HPS-CB500 servo, based on the popular Super Response HPS-CB700. Unlike the CB700, this version utilises plastic in place of an all alloy case, and the torque is lower at 26.9kg/cm at 7.4v but the rest of internals are the same with full metal gears and the company’s HPS motor technology for low power consumption and lower operation temperatures.

Unique to Motiv RC, the fat shorty was made for RC applications where low CG is not necessarily most desirable but yet a shorty footprint is. The recommended usage for this battery is no prep drag racing and dirt oval. Due to this battery’s high 8200mAh, it will hold higher voltage longer during discharge than any other shorty made to date.
