Mugen MTX6 series adjustable front one-way

Coming from Mugen and made for the MTX6 series of 1/10th scale 200mm nitro touring cars is an adjustable front one-way set. The special design of the one-way allows to combine the exceptional braking performance of a front differential with the cornering speeds of a one-way, allowing to access the best of both worlds all while giving full adjustability using different viscosity oils. Generally a 500k fluid will be standard with softer oils being recommended for smaller, more technical and low-traction tracks while harder oils giving an advantage on larger or higher-grip tracks. The set includes machined alloy one-way housings, a moulded pulley, as well as outdrives and mounting hardware.

Rebellion-RC release new mid-motor conversion teasers

Rebellion-RC have released more information on their forthcoming mid-motor conversion kits for cars such as the Xray T4, Yokomo BD9 and BD8 as well as the Team Associated TC7.2. According to Rebellion-RC the kits, project name “Holy Grail”, will do away with the shortcomings of current mid-motor conversions, such as wider overall electronics layouts – especially offset battery positions – or raised drivetrains compared to rear motor cars; all of which having negative effects on the overall performance and thus detracting the positive influences of the mid-motor design. First prototype tests have shown very promising results with Rebellion-RC’s Xray and Team Associated testbeds all being quicker than their standard counterparts. The conversion kits will retain the battery position, electronics layout/chassis width of the standard cars, they will include a patented design motor mount and are usable with up to 48T pinion gears and 114T main gears, making them usable for both Stock and Modified classes. The first kits for Xray, Yokomo and Team Associated cars will become available by the end of July with conversion kits for all of the other current electric touring cars coming quickly after.

RC Maker A800 GeoCarbon cam steering limiters

RC Maker has introduced the new GeoCarbon cam steering limiters for the Awesomatix A800 touring cars. Weighing in at only 0.2g for the pair, they provide a super LCG and lightweight adjustable option for limiting the car’s steering lock. Adjusting steering lock is an incredibly important tuning option, and one that is not simply done with reducing the dual rate on the transmitter, as the limiters provide a stopper which is a much more effective way of controlling the steering lock. The parts provide four different steering lock settings thanks to the offset cam style design, which allows locks ranging from 22 deg inside to 29 deg inside when run with #AM14LS, 1mm Ackerman +1 deg toe out – simply by loosening the main screw, rotating the plate and re-tightening the screw. The limiters fit all chassis configurations and servos and they are available now.
