RC Maker low-profile front body stabiliser

Coming from RC Maker is their innovative new shock tower attachment that increases the body’s downforce transfer to the car, whilst also preventing bodyshell flex and roll, causing scrubbing in the wheel arches. With modern body shells being low and thin, the downforce generated by the bodyshell isn’t effectively transferred to the car due to the flex of the body, especially in the front-mid section. The front body stabiliser transfers the downforce directly into the top of the front shocks, increasing the car’s steering in corners, and stability on the straights. As well as this, they prevent the body rolling onto the outside tyre in cornering, effectively preventing wheel arch rubbing as the front body stabiliser helps prevent the bodyshell rolling during cornering, by supporting it widely over the wheel arches. The stabilisers are adjustable in height, and can be further adjusted by adding foam on top of the platform. They fit all modern low profile shock touring cars such as the Xray T4’20, Yokomo BD10, Infinity IF14-2, ARC R12, Schumacher Mi7 and more, and are an optimised fit for the latest bodies from Xtreme, ZooRacing, Bittydesign and Protoform.

Tekin G4 Eliminator drag racing brushless motor

Tekin have introduced their all-new G4 Eliminator drag racing electric brushless motor. Utilising oversized ultra torque rotors and the best materials available, Tekin designed the Eliminator to cut weight while reducing resistance, resulting in a purebred drag racing machine. From Pro Mod to Street Eliminator classes, the Eliminator motors create huge power across all RPMs whenever needed. The Gen4 motor line is a completely new ground-up design. The new stator is precision stamped and pressed, increasing efficiency and reducing resistance and the motors are hand-wound with high purity copper wire and machined from 6061-T6 aluminium. Completely tunable with optional rotors and re-buildable, the new Gen4 Eliminator motor is a premium performance power plant for the serious drag racer and it comes in 2.5T, 3.5T, 4.0T, 4.5T, and 5.0T specifications.

Arrowmax touring car alloy honeycomb chassis sets

Coming soon from Arrowmax are new honeycomb aluminium chassis sets for the Xray T4 2020, Serpent X20, and Yokomo BD10 touring cars. Included with the main plates come carbon fibre battery mounts, for both standard and slim-style batteries, as well as hexagonal brass weights that can be inserted in the honeycomb cutouts which allows not only to up overall weight but the weights also help to fine-tune left-right and front-back weight balance when running lightweight batteries and/or electronics.

Xray T4 ECS BB 52mm & 53mm driveshafts

Coming from Xray and made for their T4 line of touring cars are the new ball-raced ECS BB driveshafts. The construction of the driveshafts offers a significant performance gain over the standard blade-type driveshafts as the friction between the driveshaft and the outdrive is greatly reduced thanks to using ball bearings, which helps to give a much smoother handling feel, especially on fast direction changes, such as chicanes. The reduced friction also helps to increase cornering speeds. The driveshafts are available as 52mm variant for smaller, more technical tracks where more initial steering is needed while the longer 53mm driveshafts are best suited for more open and flowing track layouts. They will provide slightly less initial steering, but better steering in the middle of the corner, as well as on power. The BB driveshafts only work with the front solid axle in combination with the optional #305138 outdrives.

Yankee large scale electric pan car kits – Coming soon

Coming soon from French large scale specialists Yankee are the P420 1/4th scale and P520 1/5th scale electric pan car kits. Both are of a simple and efficient design that utilises construction elements known from 1/10th and 1/12th scale pan cars, however thanks to clever engineering the large scale kits are both lightweight and durable, allowing to run them alongside their gas-powered variants. Both chassis offer up to three different wheelbase settings, they utilise a 3-point pod-type rear suspension, a lightweight front suspension and the P420 also allows to use a dual servo steering setup. Other features include module 1.25 and 1.5 gearboxes, aluminium front hubs, and a motor mount that allows to use a range of large-scale-compatible electric brushless motors. The kits will become available as rolling chassis or as combo packages including a body shell.

T-Works A800MMX & FX titanium top deck screw

T-Works have introduced their new titanium top deck screw for the Awesomatix A800MMX and FX kits. The specially designed bolt is a direct replacement for the standard item, however it is of a lower weight with the natural titanium finish making for a more aesthetic appearance of the car when using titanium screws throughout. The top deck screws are machined from high-quality 64 grade material and they come in sets of three.

Serpent Viper 989 40th Anniversary kit

Coming from Serpent is their new Viper 989 40th Anniversary 1/8th nitro on-road kit. The car is issued to celebrate Serpent’s 40th Anniversary and it builds on the proven Viper 989, however it includes many of the parts the team used at the 2019 IFMAR World Championship in California. The base of the car is an ultra-narrow main chassis that offers improved flex characteristics with the main plate being milled down in less load-stressed areas to make it as light as possible while still retaining stiffness in areas needed. The chassis can be loaded with optional balance weights who are attached using a rubber-damped carbon weight bridge that reduces vibrations. On top of this Serpent have incorporated the possibility to add a sliding weight right in the front, also mounted on a carbon bridge. It helps a great deal in avoiding traction rolling and in order to fine-tune the handling of the car.
