7075.it A800MMX LCG alloy chassis & top decks

Coming from 7075.it and made for the Awesomatix A800MMX mid motor touring car are a new LCG aluminium main chassis and split aluminium top decks. Starting with the chassis, the main plate is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes black anodised for wear and looks while machined silver edge details further enhance the visual appearance. Strategically machined holes make for optimised flex characteristics and incorporated into the design are also milled out sections to add brass weights that help to fine-tune the weight balance if needed. The chassis is available separately or including two front brass weights.

Absima Revenge CTM V3 1/8th scale brushless motor

Absima from Germany have announced the release of their new Revenge CTM V3 1/8th scale electric brushless motor. The 4-pole motor is of a new design for an overall lower weight and increased performance with a CNC-machined heatsink design can making for improved cooling efficiency and less fading during a run. Other features include a high-torque stator, a high-strength balanced rotor, stainless steel ball bearings, silver-plated heavy-duty solder tabs as well as adjustable timing. The 4269-size motor weighs in at about 320g comes in five different winding variants including 1750kV, 1900kV, 2100kV, 2300kV and 2500kV and it is available from now on.

RSD X20 standard carbon top deck & bulkhead braces

Reflex Racing have introduced more option parts for the Serpent X20 mid motor touring car. First up is a 2.0mm upper deck cut from standard carbon fibre. The top deck offers different flex characteristics than RSD’s Quasi carbon fibre deck, as it flexes similar to the 1.5mm Quasi deck side to side, but is stiffer fore and aft, giving the car a little more forward bite. The top deck is designed to increases response, gear selection range and belt clearance while being more durable than stock version and it comes with a matte surface finish to differentiate.

Carten M210 series front bumper

Carten RC have announced the release of their new large foam front bumper for the M210 series of MTC chassis. The most voluminous yet, the bumper is ideal for touring car body shells with a longer front overhang, doing away with the need to use additional foam pieces to bolster up the body in order to prevent vibrations and improve the aerodynamic efficiency. The touring bumper adds to the already existing sedan medium and hatchback small front foam bumpers.

Maclan Racing MR8.3 1/8th scale brushless motor

Coming from Maclan Racing is their new MR8.3 electric brushless motor for 1/8th scale applications. The MR8.3 is 4.5mm shorter and up to 25g lighter than its predecessor with an all-new stator and rotor design offering a more linear and smoother power band along with higher efficiency for an overall lower power consumption. The motor also features an additional sensor port for easier wiring and it comes in the two kV options of 1900kV and 2100kV. For the best overall performance Maclan Racing recommends to use the motor with the soon to be releasing MMax 8 speed controller, however they are usable with all other sensored 1/8th scale brushless speed controllers too.

Merlin McFly X20 carbon fibre topdeck

Merlin McFly have introduced their new topdeck for the Serpent X20 touring car. Designed by Lennart Skornia, the new upper deck has been optimised to improve the flex characteristics of the chassis in high traction carpet conditions as it reduces the overall torsional flex of the chassis both front and rear resulting in easier and more consistent lap times. The flex can be adjusted by either using screws or removing them from the top deck. The parts can be personalised or customised upon request.
