Radtec have introduced their new 20mm micro cooling fan intended especially for the cooling of 1/12th scale pan car speed controllers. Using the fan will lower the speedo’s temperature by about 20 percent with the fan adding only 5.2g of weight. Dual ball bearings ensure exceptional durability and the fan come pre-wired with all-black wires and a universal receiver connector.
H2 Racing Development have announced the soon release of a couple of new carbon fibre option parts for the Kyosho Fantom 4WD 1/12th scale on-road kit. The range includes a full upgrade set containing a 2mm chassis and bumper as well as a 1.5mm upper deck and servo saver spacer. The upper deck was redesigned to accept 24mm and 20mm fan mounting pattern electronic speed controllers, doing away with fitting issues that can occur with the kit’s top deck. Also coming is a set of 2mm carbon fibre upper and lower front suspension arms. All parts are cut from high-quality Japanese Torayca carbon fibre and they will become available in September.

ZooRacing have announced the release of more ZOOlite technology 1/10th on-road high-performance body shells. With the popular BAYBEE touring car body being the first lid that took profit from ZooRacing’s new ZOOlite moulding process, the proactive brand has announced that also the PreoPard, DBX, HellCat, Zoodiac as well as the Gorilla will now also become available in lightweight ZOOlite variants. Compared to ZooRacing’s standard 0.7mm bodies, the ZOOlite shells scrub about 10g of weight without sacrificing strength, ensuring exceptional performance and stability as well as a super low centre of gravity for improved corner speeds all while complying with the minimum weight rules of the ETS and other sanctioned racing events. In addition the bodies offer sightly increased flex, meaning they have less of an influence on overall chassis flex, resulting in a more natural chassis behaviour under load which is a new hot tuning aid of many pro drivers.

Made for Xray’s new T4F’21 front-wheel driven T4F’21 touring car are several new optionals from T-Works. The range includes aluminium and titanium ball end sets, a titanium turnbuckle kit, as well as several screw sets including orange anodised aluminium, natural colour titanium, mixed aluminium and titanium as well as full steel screw kit – the latter are available with UFO or standard-style heads. As usual all aluminium parts will greatly lower the overall weight while the titanium items will ensure a low weight coupled with exceptional stability. The gold-colour screw kits will add visual impact while offering exceptional corrosion resistance.
Mon-Tech Racing from Italy have introduced their new GTI Vision body shell for 1/10th scale front-wheel drive touring cars. The lid features an aggressive look and a very high level of detail with an adjustable rear wing that can be attached in a low, mid or high position, allowing to fine-tune the aerodynamic performance of the body. The body was designed using the latest 3D software for accuracy and it is produced in Italy using high-quality Lexan polycarbonate. Included come a detailed decal sheet including headlights and grille stickers, window masks and wing mounting hardware.
Reds Racing have launched their new 1/10 VX3 Factory Selected electric brushless motors. They are hand-built, selected and the top five percent of tested motors of every batch with the hall sensor variance being within one degree or better. Each motor is hand-assembled, shimmed and tested by Reds Racing’s tech department. Timing, kV rating and Amp draw are tested on the dyno for maximum performance and the Factory Selected motors come with new titanium screws to increase performance. Furthermore each motor comes with a quality control certificate showing each motor’s main specifications such as KV, current, timing and shimming. Available are 4.5T to 8.5T Modified as well as 10.5T to 25.5T Stock motors.

Hot on the heels of their SFX conversion for the Yokomo BD10, LCG Racing have also introduced a set for the popular Xray T4’20. While the BD10 kit includes a redesigned motor mount and top deck, the T4-specific kit takes the SFX idea a step further as it also comes with a redesigned main chassis plate and a forward-type servo mount. The set is specifically designed for optimised flex characteristics and enhanced drivetrain efficiency. The spur gear has been slightly moved and is, therefore, absolutely centred for even better rotation and corner speed. The chassis sports a slightly wider rear end between the bulkhead and the rear suspension mount to decrease flex and it only offers the long suspension arm mounting positions for even further optimisation and more consistent flex as well as a more stable rear. Includes in the set are the new 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis, motor mount, narrow top decks, aluminium forward servo mount, forward carbon fibre servo plate, top deck screws and washers.
