Exotek 30mm aluminium fan shroud

Exotek have announced the release of their new 30mm aluminium touring car fan shroud. It was developed to blast the motor fan’s air directly onto and through the motor vents for a maximum cooling effect. Importantly, the shroud positions the fan about 12mm away from the motor can to help prevent the motor magnets from impeding the fan motor and the shroud’s lightweight alloy construction insures factory looks and extra durability. The shroud comes supplied with M2.5×16 screws to attach the fan to the shroud while the whole assembly is mounted using a small square of optional R/C sticky tape, right up against the motor. Not included comes the required 30mm fan.

Rêve D RS-ST digital servo & USB programmer

Rêve D have introduced their first products in the form of the RS-ST digital high-torque drift car servo and the RS-PGC USB programming dongle. Starting with the RS-ST servo, it features an IRC motor for super high torque values while offering very smooth operation as it is needed for controllable counter steering angles during competitive drift car driving. An aluminium middle case makes for good heat dissipation while offering a low weight. Due to the servo’s high-torque specification it is 2.5mm taller than usual low-profile types.

RC Maker Montecarlo anti-tuck wing mounts

Coming from RC Maker and made for Mon-Tech Racing’s Montecarlo touring car body shell is the anti-tuck wing mounting set. 3-D-printed for a low weight and exceptional durability the mounts prevent body tucks behind the rear wheel arch during racing, as well as inconsistencies on high speed tracks and in windy conditions, causing the bodyshell to vibrate. The new V2 Lite set weighs in at only 5g for the pair, and it only requires one additional M3 screw other than the wing mounting screw to secure the strut behind the wheel arch. Using existing upper wing buttons, owners can screw directly into the strut securing it at the top whilst also securing the body’s wing, making for quick and easy body preparation.

Also new is a 1.75mm carbon fibre upper deck. 0.25mm thinner than the standard 2.0mm part, the flex upper deck is best used in combination with the above aluminium chassis or when additional torsional chassis flex is needed when using the kit standard carbon fibre chassis. Last but not least come the AC suspension bushing inserts. A standard part in the TRF419 suspension conversion kit the AC bushings are an optional part for the TRF420 with the directed bushings allowing to utilise more inward or more outward lower shock mounting positions in order to fine-tune the suspension geometry. The bushings come blue anodised, laser-engraved and in sets of two.
