7075.it T4’20 LCG high traction aluminium chassis

7075.it have announced the release of their new LCG high traction aluminium chassis for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. The full face chassis offers limited torsional flex compared to 7075.it‘s LCG chassis and is ideal for very high traction conditions where it can help to settle down the reaction of the car while countering traction rolling. The chassis offers two milled pockets in the steering area that allow to attach optional brass weights in the lowest possible position, ensuring an overall lower centre of gravity and thus improved cornering in high grip conditions. The chassis comes black anodised, with machined silver edge details and it is available separately or including two brass balance weights.

RC Maker BD10 GeoCarbon bumper plate & battery brace

RC Maker have introduced new GeoCarbon carbon fibre optionals for the Yokomo BD10 touring car. First up is a bumper plate with stopper that sports a stylish, stealth and innovative design. This support contacts the bulkheads and prevents impacts from snapping the main chassis and are very important. The design includes a 5mm brace which sits below the plate, raising it to the correct height and significantly increasing the strength of the whole assembly. Upon resting, there is a 0.2mm gap between the bulkheads and the support, to prevent any rubbing and tweaking. This support will only be active in a crash. This provides the optimal solution to keeping the chassis on the brand new BD10 safe, whilst looking great at the same time.

Yeah Racing Hackmoto V modified & stock motors

Coming from Yeah Racing are their new Hackmoto V modified and stock 540-class brushless motors. The motors were designed with performance in mind, as by using oversized copper wires, the internal resistance of the motors has been lowered. Oversized angled copper solder tabs allow for ample space for soldering even large diameter wires and the motor case has been lightened as much as possible to reduce the weight which allows racers to easily balance their cars while helping with cooling. The sensored motors feature aluminium end bells, high-power Neodymium magnets and high-power rotors and they are available as 5.5T, 10.5T, 13.5T and 17.5T variants.

Coming from Ielasi Tuned is their new Raptor.12 Evo nitro on-road engine. Designed for 1/10th scale 200mm touring cars the power plant is the evolution of the Raptor.12 WC and features a new low centre of gravity cooling head that is of an updated shape for an overall lower CG and thus less chassis roll in corners which results in a more planted ride especially in high-grip track conditions. Furthermore timing has been optimised to improve the engine’s performance over the whole RPM band and it comes with a hand-tuned DLC coated crankshaft and a ceramic main bearing.
