Capelli 1:12 Titanium Ball Diff Upgrade Kit

Australian manufacturer Capelli, who last year brought us the F1-RR 1:10 Formula 1 chassis, has released a new 1:12 Titanium ball differential upgrade kit which has been 13-months in development. Reducing rotational mass of the assembly, utilising Titanium rings that are machine lapped to absolute flatness and treated twice in Ultra hard TiN coating. The diameter of the rings is such that the face of the spur gear is covered preventing ingress of debris into the balls. Supplied with the highest grade of ‘roundness’ Zirconium 1/8” balls, the assembly can then be tensioned using the Titanium carrier (anodised) housing a thrust bearing and titanium bevel washers, fastened by a lightweight Nylon M4 nut.

KO Propo Electrical Switch 4

Japanese radio and servo manufacturer KO Propo has announced the upcoming release of its latest electronically controlled power switch the Electrical Switch 4. With a new case size that is about half that of the Electrical Switch 3 the switch is intended for use on GP powered cars. A CPU memorises the power status (ON/OFF), so it can prevent power-off caused by connector connection failures due to vibrations specific to gasoline engine cars or momentary disconnections during overload. It features a full-colour LED to display the battery mode (cut-off voltage) and remaining battery power. This allows you to check the switch status at a glance and with high-intensity LED used it is easy to check even outdoors. The switch comes with two types of bottom cases included, one with fixing holes and one without, so you can switch between them depending on how you install it.

Awesomatix PSSX Progressive Spring System

Awesomatix has released a number of new parts for its A800 touring car platform including their new PSSX Progressive Spring System. This is designed to add 30% progressivity into the originally linear action of SPR01S and SPR01 springs in all A700/A800 cars. An updated version of the previously known “PSS set”, the PSSX set comes with the new ST69X-30 Screw with wider cap that provides 30% progressivity across an increased range of suspension travel and suspension setups. All previous ST69 screw versions fit as well but are not included. With the PSSX set the initial action of spring is softer at the beginning of the compression and becomes progressively harder when the suspension get compressed during downtravel of the car. Our tests showed that the car with PSSX set at proper settings becomes more easy to drive and more consistent at low-med traction conditions and especially on outdoor asphalt tracks. In addition to the PSSX, Awesomatix has also released a new Rear Beam for its 1:12 car. For the A12X, this updated beam features an additional notch for easy track width measurement.
