Yeah Racing MST RMX2.0 carbon fibre upgrade set

Yeah Racing have announced the release of their new carbon fibre upgrade set for the MST RMX2.0 drift car. The set replaces all of the original plastic parts with matte finish carbon fibre items that optimise the chassis’ flex characteristics while adding visual impact. Cutouts in specific areas further fine-tune the overall flex which leads to improved grip during cornering. Included in the set are the lower main chassis, the split top deck, front and rear shock towers as well as mounting hardware.

Muchmore Impact Super LCG 7.4V 5800mAh LiPo battery

Muchmore have introduced their all-new Impact Silicon Graphene Super LCG 7.4V 5800mAh LiPo battery pack. Built from highest quality 130C cells the ultra low profile pack offers a high capacity and a super low internal resistance and thus improved power supply for both modified and stock class racing. The pack weighs in at 240g and measures 138.5×46.7×19.5mm with the ultra low profile design greatly lowering the car’s overall centre of gravity for improved corner speeds especially in high bite track conditions. The hardcase pack utilises 5mm bullet-type connectors and it will hit stores very soon.

MR33 T4 single bellcrank steering system

Coming from Marc Rheinard’s MR33 brand is a new single bellcrank steering system for the Xray T4 series of touring cars. The set makes use of a machined aluminium centre bridge that mounts onto the chassis using the original dual bellcrank mounting holes with the new single bellcrank steering promising a very precise steering feel without having too much overall slop. To change the Ackermann position on the steering rack, simply undo the centre ball stud and move the steering arm forward or backward. The available positions are laser marked for easy identification and due to the rippled surface the steering arm will always stay in the correct position after the ball stud got tightened again. The set comes with two different aluminium inserts to adjust the inner ball stud distance at 8.0mm or 8.5mm settings and three carbon fibre braces on top of the centre part ensure a reliable steering end point adjustment. For the perfect stealthy look all aluminium parts come black anodised.

IGT8 adjustable aluminium caster blocks

IGT8 have introduced new adjustable caster blocks for their line of 1/8th vehicles. Made out of 7075 aluminium, the caster block system solves the eternal and expensive problem of having to swap the blocks in order to change the caster angle in the most popular RC suspension design. The adjustable C-hubs use delrin inserts to change the angle of the caster and they have been extensively tested in off-road and on-road applications, being capable of angles from 6 to 22 degrees.

HB Racing working on new Pro-XX touring car

HB Racing are currently developing the follow-up model of their Pro5 electric touring car kit according to an image that surfaced on social media. Utilising what appear to be Pro5 suspension components the chassis is of a mid layshaft design, meaning the motor still remains in the rear part of the chassis with the layshaft and main gear shifted further towards the middle of the car. This however is just one of several different designs HB Racing and Zero Tribe founder Kagayama are currently working on. We bring you more details on the project as they become available.

Vigor T4’20 rear belt tensioner with battery stopper

Vigor RC have introduced their new rear belt tensioner with integrated battery stopper for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. The machined aluminium part offers a milled centre section that allows for a height adjustment of the ball-raced belt tensioner in order to finely adjust the tension of the rear belt. On the opposite side a round head screw and bushings form a battery stopper that ensures the LiPo pack stays away from rotating parts. The belt tensioner is a direct fit, using existing chassis holes.
