Rêve D MC-1 conversion kit

Rêve D have announced the upcoming release of their new MC-1 conversion kit for the YD-2. The car that won the R.C.D.C. All Japan E-Drift Championship as a prototype is finally ready. Rêve D main designer Hayato Matsuzaki, together with the development team and team drivers all worked together to further refine the kit and after almost a year it’s ready. 2.5mm thick carbon material is used for the main chassis, upper deck & vertical deck to optimise pitch & roll rigidity. The aluminium gear case, which has succeeded in reducing the weight to the utmost while maintaining rigidity, has been designed so that the gear differential unit can be easily attached and detached, achieving outstanding maintainability. The new motor plate design allows you to select the motor height in 3 steps without removing the spur gear unit, making it easy to change the settings. The MC-1 conversion will be available in 2 versions, the slide rack spec or the bell crank (wiper) spec.

RC Maker T4’20 carbon hub extension plates

RC Maker have developed some beefed up extension plates for the Xray T4’20 alu steering hubs. They have also integrated an M3 pressed insert which completely does away with the nut on top of the arm. There’s specific versions for front and rear to maximise strength in each position whilst ensuring required clearance from hubs/wheels. Compared to stock the new plates are thicker at 3mm and have the inner link position removed, while the new profile of the arm has increased strength and flex.

Rebellion RC body distance system

New from Rebellion RC comes their body distance system which supports the body shell directly over the front wheels. The system is mounted to the car’s c-hub and its adjustable design makes it possible to fine-tune the mounting height of the body. Because the body no longer moves up and down with the chassis you can position the body lower than ever before, which in turn improves aerodynamics. The black holders directly replace the original 2mm shims under the pivot ball like those found on the T4. The set comes supplied with plastic end-caps for improved body longevity.
