RC Maker A800 GeoCarbon HRB rear body mount

RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon rear body mount for the Awesomatix HRB Horizontal Rear Body mounting system. Styled in RC Maker’s signature GeoCarbon finish, the HRB Mount increases aesthetics of the HRB system, whilst also providing some improved practical features. The mount is more adjustable, boasting a total 5mm of vertical adjustment and the mounting system also features very closely spaced holes, rather than slots. This allows owners to position the body in five different positions at 1mm increments. This ensures the mount is always kept level, and doesn’t shift in a crash. It is also shaped to make carrying or picking up the car easy and comfortable in one hand, with the centre top section shaped perfectly for the thumb. In order to be able to use the HRB body mount, owners must either purchase the Awesomatix HRB System, or the AM126 Bracket first also.

Power HD D12 low-profile servo

Coming from Power HD is their new D12 low-profile reverse receiver wire high-performance servo. Utilising a CNC-machined all-aluminium case with a heatsink design middle section, the servo also sports a reverse receiver wire layout, meaning the wire leaves the case on the opposite side of the output gear and thus on the inside of the chassis when run in electric on-road cars. The result is a much cleaner layout while greatly reducing the chance of damaging the wire during a crash. The high-voltage compatible servo is capable of speeds of down to 0.059 seconds and a torque of up to 12.5kg-cm.
