Vortex Racing Aeris 30mm fan duct

Coming from Vortex Racing is their new Aeris fan duct for common 30mm fan units. The duct has been optimised to keeping the motor as cool as possible for increased overall performance and less fading towards the end of a run. While cold air is forced through the fan and duct, a specially-shaped air vent helps hot air to escape which further increases cooling performance. Two recessed sections on the sides allow for easy fan insertion and removal. The duct is made of high-tech resin for exceptional durability and less changes or cracking.

RC Maker V2 body anti-tuck wing mounting set

RC Maker have introduced their new V2 light body anti-tuck wing mounting sets for the most popular 190mm touring car bodies on the market. Our brand new Anti-Tuck Wing Mounting Set Lite V2 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. Weighing 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. Using the existing upper wing buttons, racers can screw directly into the strut securing it at the top whilst also securing the wing. The new design also offers 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 your body lasts longer. The strut is produced by Australia’s highly regarded 3-D-printing experts Think RC. These are constructed of a rigorously tested, flexible, yet strong plastic material which allows them to be used time and time again between bodies. The struts are currently available for the Protoform Type-S, Zoo Racing DBX, Preopard and Hellcat as well as the Mon-Tech Racer 2.

Hobbywing XR10 Pro G2 competition ESC

Hobbywing have announced the release of their new XeRun XR10 Pro G2 brushless competition speed controller for 1/10th scale classes. The updated variant of the ultra-popular XR10 Pro features high-performance 32-bit M4 microprocessing for super-fast and precise control. A built-in reverse battery polarity protection protects both the controller and battery when things are getting a bit hectic in the pits and a range of new accessories such as non-polarised capacitor banks and over-sized fan mounts complement the G2 ESC. The latter are machined aluminium heatsink design frames and allow the use of 30mm fan units in high ambient temperature conditions. New for the G2 is also the ability to use an external switch in case the internal one is hard to reach and in addition to the greatly improved hardware the speedo also received some new software features such as a greater PWM frequency range for throttle and brake, ensuring optimised control when needed. Also new are finer adjustable turbo increase and decrease rates as well as a 101 percent to 150 percent brake range, a feature that comes in handy when running high-turn stock motors with aggressive gear ratios. New for the G2 is also the ability to adjust motor rotation direction and the built-in BEC system offers adjustable 5V to 7.4V and 10A output. Last but not least comes a softening function that will improve vehicle control in high-power modified classes. Like the previous controller the G2 is programmable and upgradable using Hobbywing’s WiFi Express module and an iOS or Android mobile device with a more traditional programming box being also available. The controller is available with black/silver, orange or red case details and it is available now.
