WellRC Racing body cut template & starter box plate

A new brand is coming out of SoCal, WellRC Racing by nitro guru Walter Diaz. The first products are body cut templates and starter box plates. Starting with the WellCut templates, they were designed to take the hassle out of mounting ProtoForm R18, R19 and P909 bodies. They are placed on top of the body and accurately trace the cut lines for engine, air filter, fuel tank, roll bar, top end needle, and rear body post holes. Made from high quality ABS plastic for long life, the templates are available for Mugen, Serpent and Xray cars.

RC Maker GeoCarbon universal battery clamp set

RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon universal battery clamp set designed for the use on nearly any touring car using the pivoting clamp style method for securing the battery. Styled in RC Maker’s signature GeoCarbon look, the parts bring an appealing aesthetic to the car. Constructed from 3mm carbon fibre, they are lightweight but also very strong and they are finished with a countersink for that dialled low profile appearance. The clamps include an O-ring for each side, which are recommended to sit under the clamps, on-top of the post.

Team Brood Racing B-Mag Magnesium washers

Team Brood Racing’s B-Mag Magnesium washers are a first of their kind tuning option made for discriminating racers. Precision machined from AZ31 grade magnesium and nickel-plated, these washers are ideal for a variety of applications – ball stud risers, hub spacers, steering knuckle spacers, etc. Most know that magnesium is about 35 percent lighter than a comparable aluminium part, but magnesium also offers superior dent resistance for improved precision over time, and is able to be machined to incredibly strict tolerances for more accurate suspension settings. Most importantly magnesium has the highest known damping capacity of any structural metal available. B-Mag magnesium washers are available in multiple sizes – from 0.35mm to 2.0mm in 0.25mm increments, and 2.0mm to 3.5mm in 0.5mm increments allowing subtle increment changes and precision tuning. The size options also reduce the need to stack washers as stacking can cause binding under load, friction, inconsistent torque specs, and setting changes due to washer shift, which can impact consistency and long term performance. The washers feature a flashy nickel plated finish, but not just for the look. Nickel offers resistance to corrosion and wear, improved hardness, additional strength, and enhanced ductility. The washers are available in several combinations including 0.35/0.75mm 4-each packs, 1.25/1.5/1.75mm 2-each packs, 2.5/3.0/3.5mm 2-each packs, as 0.35mm/0.5mm/1mm 4-each and 2mm 2-each pack and also as complete tuning kit.

RC Maker TC & 1/12th anti-tuck stiffeners

Coming from RC Maker are their new anti-tuck body stiffeners for the Protoform Turismo, the ZooRacing range of bodies as well as 1/12th scale pan car lids. Starting with the touring car stiffeners, the new Lite V2 design introduces an even more compact, efficient way of integrating wing mounting and anti tuck components. This system prevents 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’s weigh in at only 5g for the pair, this lightweight strut only requires one additional M3 screw other than the wing mounting screw to secure the strut behind the wheel arch. The design also features extra material that sits in the vertical part of the wing strut. In crashes this section of the bodyshell can often crush or deform, and is unable to be repaired. The brace fixes this and prevents deformation in this area, ensuring the body lasts longer.

Rebellion-RC BD9 MM mid-motor chassis conversion kit

RC-Carbonstore have announced their latest Rebellion-RC MM mid-motor conversion kit, this time for the popular Yokomo BD9 touring car. The main feature of the upgrade set is the patent pending sliding motor mount design that allows gear mesh adjustment through the chassis bottom, with the narrow design of the whole assembly ensuring the overall motor and battery width remains the same as in the “rear motor” standard car, creating a very centralised weight distribution and less unwanted chassis roll compared to current mid motor conversions. In addition the design makes for an ultra low centre of gravity while allowing integrated flex settings via up to seven motor mount screws. The sliding design also ensures a very wide gear mesh adjustment range, fitting up to 48T pinion and 114T main gears, making the conversion ideal for both stock and modified racing. The final specification of the kit now also incorporates several chassis stiffness adjustment areas that allow to brace the upper and lower deck in front of the rear bulkhead, and in front of the centre shaft – allowing to access complex chassis flex settings. Other features include the possibility to combine the aluminium colour options of black and orange with Rebellion-RC’s full range of carbon fibre twill colours. Not to be forgotten is a floating motor fan mount that attaches to the motor mount and that can be used with standard 30mm and 40mm fan units while not disturbing natural chassis flex. Included with the kit, that is completely made in Austria, also come high-quality Bando Kevlar belts as well as all needed screws and bearings. Not included however is the necessary Xray off-set main gear.
