Infinity IF15 engine mounts for OS

New from Creation Model for the IF15, come this pair of engine mounts specially designed to work with OS .12 engines. Compared to the standard kit blocks hey have been lowered and allow the engine crankcase to sit as close to the chassis as possible without touching, contributing to a lower centre of gravity, while the cooling fins on the side allows the engine to better dissipate heat and help prevent overheating during a race. Not to be used in combination with other brands of engine.

RC Maker T4 & BD7 HRP towers & A800 brass shim plates

New from RC Maker come these GeoCarbon adjustable HRP (Horizontal Rear Post) shock towers for the Xray T4’20 (standard and low -3mm) and Yokomo BD10. These face your rear body posts backwards, and feature 1.5mm staggered holes for body height and rake adjustment. This system lowers the centre of gravity and increases body stability and downforce transfer from the wing directly into your shocks and tires creating a more stable car with increased corner speed. Additionally they also have released a new GeoCarbon front shock tower for the Yokomo BD10 to match and look the part. Next up are there popular roll centre shim plates for the Awesomatix A800, but made from brass. These are a great way to add weight down low and shift it front to rear on your car when using Long Arms. They also make changing your roll centre easier than ever, simply loosen the screws, slide the plate out and the new plate in and re-tighten. These are available in a set of 4 (2 front & 2 rear), and in 4 of the most common roll centre settings of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 2.8mm. Their set weights vary from 6g to 9g depending on the thickness you choose.

LCG Racing T4 2020 forward servo mount

This forward servo mount by LCG Racing, included in the SFX conversion, is now available separately for the Xray T4 2020. It fits the standard car as well as the SFX conversion and increases the stiffness of the front of the chassis. By decreasing the flex in the front, the car is more direct on corner entry, can provide more corner speed and makes the car easier to handle in medium-high to high grip conditions. The lightweight design of the aluminium part retains its rigidity while the design of the carbon fibre upper plate aims to minimise weight further.

Capricorn P10 SR 1:10th Pan car

Italian brand Capricorn have developed a new platform, a 1/10th pan car that is essentially a scaled down version of the 1/8th 4wd pan car they already produce. Called the P10 SR, it will run a 200mm standard width with 45mm wide rear tyres and 30mm front. Designed to accept a shorty pack or standard square style battery, you have the ability to run up to 3s. While the rear of the car is fixed and with a straight axle there is little to adjust, up front the flex can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the nuts on the front lower carbon plate for a different feeling if needed.
