From Mon-tech for the Schumacher Formula 1 Icon and Eclipse pan car are these new spacer sets. Made from 0.5mm stainless steel each pack includes 6 pieces which are easily inserted between the chassis plate and blocks to quickly adjust the car’s ride height.
From Fenix Racing for their G12 and G56 come some new front end option parts. For the G12 and G56 there is now the ability to run the CRC long upper arms using a new carbon brace and upper arm mounting plates for each car. Exclusively for the G56 there is a wider front suspension mounting plate and brace that is 4mm wider than the regular part which allows the user to mount the wide CRC front end, suitable for fast flowing tracks.
Hold that perfect drift angle combined with high speeds with this Hackslider mini gyro V3 from Yeah Racing, pre-loaded with a customised firmware for Drifting. It comes with aluminium Heat-sink case for high efficiency cooling and features adjustments to suit every servo on the market, ranging from analog to digital servos and you can also reverse the direction which the gyro acts. The gain (or sensitivity) can be adjusted on the fly for drifters with transmitters featuring more than three channels and also can be adjusted on the gyro itself. With the super small footprint, you will be able to mount this gyro anywhere and create very clean installs.

Starting with a 7075-T6 aluminium motor plate mount & graphite front upper plate, the set removes flex around the drivetrain, while new graphite front stiffeners increase the rigidity of the car’s tub chassis. The suspension rockers receive new aluminium rocker posts and for the front and rear of the car there are new ECS drive shafts.

Serpent have entered the M-chassis segment with their Medius X20 Mini 1/10 EP chassis. Taking elements, design features and parts from the its bigger brother, Serpent claim this is the most configurable Mini chassis ever. There are 3 different configurations possible, FWD (Front Wheel Drive), RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) and 4WD, the motor mounting is also adjustable with mid or rear motor positions available. Continuing the crossover of parts from the X20 range, the Mini utilises the V3 composite diff, keeping rolling mass to a minimum whilst maintaining reliability. The single belt 4WD configuration incorporates a CNC aluminium Medius style motor mount giving ultimate adjustment of weight distribution. The wheelbase is also adjustable, in 210mm or 225mm, allowing it to suit the large range of bodyshells available in the class.

Designed using the most advanced CFD software, the new Xtreme Aerodynamics carbon fibre side plates claim to improve car performance on high speed corner. The 0.50mm top quality carbon fibre plate has a profile that allows the optimal flow on the upper side of the wing while cornering thus improving vertical load and making the car more predictable and precise. The external shape helps minimise the side drag effect for better handling in direction change, still maintaining the suction/pressure side well isolated in order to maximise wing performance. Suitable for 1/10 nitro touring cars.
