PN Racing machined 6-spoke Mini-Z wheels

Coming from PN Racing and made for the Kyosho Mini-Z 2WD and similar palm-sized on-road cars are machined 6-spoke wheels. The white colour rims are available in narrow, medium and wide specifications to suit all tyres and track width settings. While offering a cool and sturdy design their construction allows to add different diameter carbon fibre outer slip rings that do away with the need to add unsightly CA glue walls in order to counter traction rolling in high-bite track conditions. Instead the carbon fibre rings can be attached to the outside, not only helping against traction rolling but also reinforcing the sidewall of the tyre for improved durability.

ARC release new brass suspension blocks & springs

Coming from ARC are new brass suspension blocks for the R12 touring car as well as a progressive 20mm shock spring.

The blocks can be used completely or as a mix and match with the standard aluminium hangers to achieve the desired weight bias setting. Also new and made for the R12 are 20mm C2.5-2.8 progressive springs. The red-marked springs can be used front or rear depending on the track conditions.

Serpent S7XX one-way front diff set

Serpent have introduced their new adjustable one-way front diff set for the S7XX series of 1/10th 200mm on-road cars. The drag-assisted one-way replaces the standard front diff and it enables the driver to still brake and turn in like using a diff, however corner exit drive and change of direction on-throttle is greatly improved. The set is a direct fit on the S750 and it also fits older generation S7XX cars.

WRC Racing ST2.1 1/10th FWD touring car

WRC Racing have introduced their all-new ST2.1 1/10th scale front-wheel drive electric touring car kit. The car is based on the successful STX.7 platform and features the now-popular mid-front motor position for optimised traction and stability while sharing most spare and optional parts with its 4WD sibling. The car uses a carbon fibre double deck chassis construction, a fluid-filled gear differential as well as easy to adjust body mounts for quick adaption to different lids. The steering utilises WRC’s proven curved rail design and a low centre of gravity servo mount. An off-road-inspired battery mount uses rubber O-rings to secure the battery pack, doing away with the common use of reinforced battery tape or battery taps. Other features include ultra low-profile shock towers and shock absorbers while new low-friction driveshaft blades ensure an efficient drivetrain. The kit is already available.

AB Racing Dual 1/8th cooling fans

AB Racing have introduced their dual cooling fans especially designed for the use with 1/8th scale vehicles. Designed, manufactured and assembled in Australia from local and imported products, the clever design utilises CNC-machined 6061 T6 aluminium mounts and a simple, but secure mounting system. The fans benefit from a brushless motor and dual ball bearing design, increasing longevity in harsh conditions and providing optimal cooling performance. The fans used are rated at 19.4 CFM – combined CFM of 38.8 for both fans – with a total of 18 watts of power for both fans combined. The fans can be powered directly with a 2S 7.4V or 3S 11.1V LiPo battery. The mount is designed to fit standard 1/8th scale motors with a 42-40mm motor diameter. The CNC machined aluminium mount helps draw heat from the motor and provide a strong mounting platform for the fans.
