Yokomo YD-2RX RWD Drift chassis

Yokomo have announced their new YD-2RX RWD Drift chassis based off their popular R series chassis. Maintaining its overwhelming acceleration with high rear traction thanks its rear mounted motor, the RX has a newly designed main chassis and upper deck and comes equipped with a load of optional parts as standard. The brace that supports the upper deck has been moved slightly forward and the mounting of the battery has been placed as close to the rear as possible. By moving the heavy objects to the rear, they have achieved the highest rear load model in the series. The YD-2Rx is available in three colours, black, red and purple, as a standard lineup.

Smokem Racing R12 roll centre shim sets

Smokem Racing introduce their new carbon fibre roll centre shim sets for the ARC R12. Available in 1.0mm and 1.5mm versions, the shims are used to raise the R12 suspension arm mounts, allowing roll centres to be raised in larger increments without stacking multiple shims. Raising the roll centre releases the car from excessive grip through a corner, allowing for improved flow and corner speed. Features a unique design that allows the same shim to be used under all 1-piece toe blocks.

Sunpadow Platin 1S competition LiPo pack

Sunpadow announces the launch of this Platin series 3.7V 8000mAh pack which is an ultra-thin, low centre-of-gravity lithium battery for racing. Specially developed for the 1/12th modified class, which consists of 8-minute races, it features a large capacity, weighs just 159 grams and is 93 x 47 x 18.5mm. Excellent discharge capability ensures a stable voltage supply for racing, especially for the last one or two minutes of the race, where the voltage is usually very low, minimising the risk of any shutdown of your electronics, which is caused by excessive instantaneous voltage drop from the large current output in 1S applications.
