RC Maker SP-1 Narrow Front Arm | Stiffer Rear Topdeck

Their successful business was built off option parts for cars from various brands and now Australian company RC Maker has released some option parts for its own SP-1 Electric Touring Car.  Manufactured from 3mm Carbon Fibre, the -0.75 Narrow Front Suspension Arms reduce the front track width by 1.5mm overall.  This increases the initial steering of the car making it more aggressive on turn in.  This is mostly good for low to medium traction tracks as it helps the car get into the corner quicker and also respond faster through chicanes.  These narrow arms could increase the chance of traction rolling in high traction conditions and will make the car a bit more difficult to drive as a result of the extra initial response.  Manufactured from 2.2mm Carbon Fibre, a new Stiffer Rear Topdeck stiffens the bulkheads and flex at the rear of the car.  This results in the car being more stable on power out of corners, with slightly less rotation and more stability on slower corners as well.

Aerox Bat-Safe box

Aerox, the accessories brand from Schumacher, has released this Bat-Safe for the charging & storage of LiPo batteries.  LiPos can be dangerous and the Bat-Safe provides the safest experience whether it will be storing, transporting or most importantly charging.  Highly recommending all LiPo batteries should be charged and stored in a Bat-Safe box and not a LiPo bag, Schumacher Racing are no longer selling LiPo Bags as they don’t believe they offer adequate LiPo fire protection.  The Aerox Bat-Safe is a double-walled insulated steel box with a flame arrestor.  Any battery within the specifications will not be a fire hazard if charged or stored inside it and in case of a fire, the smoke and soot is also filtered by the flame arrestor.
