RC Maker GeoCarbon Ti-Series on-road car stand

RC Maker have announced the release of their new GeoCarbon Ti-Series on-road car stand for 1/10th and 1/12th scale cars. Constructed from 13 separate individual parts, secured by aluminium gold plated screws, the car stand boasts elegance and ingenuity. The carbon fibre skin is supported by an anodised aluminium and titanium nitride skeleton, producing a lightweight, strong and long lasting car stand. The bottom of the posts are protected by rubber anti-slip pads, to ensure no scratching of the pit board or posts, and no unwanted sliding around. The top is insulated by thin, extremely durable anti-slip rubber pads to keep the carbon skin looking like new. The car stand is CNC machined and assembled in Australia and it is usable for most 1/10th and 1/12th scale on-road cars.

Pro-Line Supersonic speed run body shell

Pro-Line have introduced their all-new Supersonic speed run body shell for the Traxxas Slash 4×4. There is a whole community built around pushing the limits of speed with the Slash 4×4 – and other SC-based trucks – and the Supersonic body will help owners jump right in. Belted tyres are a must for going fast and the Pro-Line Reaction HP SC tyres and even the Avenger HP 1/8th scale tyres pair perfectly with the Supersonic body. With the Pro-Line extended body mounts the body can be slammed as low as possible and optional wide offset hexes add even more high-speed stability to the build while filling out the wheel wells. The body comes clear, including window masks and a large decal sheet.

Infinity IF14-2 touring car kit

Following a couple of teasers Infinity have finally unveiled their new IF14-2 electric 4WD touring car kit. Building on the IF14 the second incarnation will feature a new drivetrain layout that sees the spur gear being moved to the front of the motor, as the latter remained in the same position as on the IF14. The layout was choses to create a balanced driving feeling, on and off throttle, and to enable the car to run at a constant speed throughout the race. Newly designed suspension arms have a new system incorporated, which makes it possible to fine-tune the shock lever ratio. The new system – that uses inserts for the shock tower and lower arms – coupled with the newly designed shock towers, make it possible to change the shock lever ratio without changing the shock mounting angle. In this way, by changing the shock lever ratio, drivers can change the spring rate, which subtly affects tyre performance, without changing shock springs. With the IF14, when changing the mounting width of suspension arms, and the mounting angle of the shock also changed. With the IF14-II, however, setup is much simpler. Drivers can now adjust the suspension geometry without changing the mounting angle of the shock.

Xray T4 2020 extra-flex aluminium chassis

Made for their popular T4 2020 mid-motor car is Xray’s all-new 2.0mm extra-flex aluminium main chassis. It is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium with additional machining – compared to the aluminium flex chassis – increasing torsional flex, making the chassis ideal for low-traction carpet or high-traction asphalt tracks. For higher traction carpet tracks though, Xray recommend their existing aluminium flex or full face aluminium chassis. The black anodised extra-flex chassis features machined silver edge details for looks as well as laser-engraved Xray logos.

Yokomo YD-2 aluminium 1-piece front wheel axle kit

Coming from Yokomo and made for the YD-2 RWD drift cars is an aluminium 1-piece front wheel axle set. Machined from high-quality aluminium and coming hard-anodised for surface protection, the wheel axles are lighter than the standard steel parts, weighing in at 1.9g compared to the standard 2.5g per piece. The updated design with a longer shaft allows for 5mm to 9mm off-set settings to adjust overall track width by simply adding the included alloy shims between the hex section and the outer wheel bearing.

Torpine R11 Mid top deck & R11F spider deck

Torpine have introduced new carbon fibre optionals for the ARC R11 series of touring cars. First up is a redesigned top deck for the R11 Mid that is of the now-popular asymmetric design for greater stability and durability. Also new is the spider deck for the R11F FWD car that allows to reinforce the rear end of the chassis in longitudinal and transversal direction, which makes for added setup possibilities and a more agile feeling car. Both parts are cut from high-quality carbon fibre and they are available from now on.

Kyosho MR03 series hard-type rear suspension plate

Kyosho have announced the soon release of a 3-piece set of 0.5mm hard-type rear suspension plates for the MR03 series of Mini-Z cars. The plates are cut from high-quality FRP fibreglass material and they will fit the MR03MM, LM and MM2, allowing to adjust the torsional flex of the suspension on smoother, high-bite surfaces.

Xray 12g pure Tungsten chassis balance weight

Xray have introduced their new 12g pure Tungsten chassis balance weight for the T4 2020 mid-motor car. Due to being made of super heavy Tungsten material the weight is smaller than a comparable 12g brass weight, meaning it takes less space, ensuring an ultra low centre of gravity and allowing to fine-tune the car’s weight balance with ease. The weight sports a laser-engraved Xray logo and it is best mounted using ultra-thin double-sided tape.
