RC Maker Awesomatix damper O-ring tool

RC Maker have introduced their new damper O-ring tool for Awesomatix touring cars. It is a simple, yet effective tool that aids in seating the O-ring into the damper, without pressurising the damper. It allows all excess oil to flow around the tool and out of the damper, which is crucial to the smooth assembly with the P45R round damper rubbers. Not only does it seat the O-ring and allows the excess oil to flow, it also acts as a scoop to get the excess oil out of the area, which is unwanted there when pressing the bearing in. When twisted it will act as a paddle to remove the oil from the slot. The tool is made from high-quality carbon fibre and it is available now.

X-Grip Conveyor cooling fan mount

European X-Grip distributors Mikimodel have introduced the Conveyor cooling fan mount. The 3-D-printed part is made of carbon reinforced material and it weighs in at only 5g, hardly changing the overall weight balance of the chassis. A trick clip takes the fan’s JST connector for a more tidy look and the mount’s design will reduce the operation temperatures of the motor by about ten degrees. The mount is usable with most motor cooling fans.

Bittydesign have introduced their first body shell for the growing 1/10th FWD touring car class, the HC-F. Designed to combine realistic aesthetics and top performance, the body takes styling cues from a popular Japanese touring car that are mixed with the latest aerodynamic gizmos to create a one of a kind 1/10th scale body shell. Widened wheel arches make for an ultra-aggressive look with performance to match with the large front splitter ensuring exceptional corner entry steering without sacrificing the much needed rear end stability. The body is a universal fit for all 1/10th 190mm FWD and touring cars on the market and it comes moulded from high-quality Lexan polycarbonate material, it includes lightweight wing mounting hardware as well as window masks and a detailed decal sheet that allows to create an eye-pleasing design while only using a single colour.

RC Maker introduces new A800X carbon fibre optionals

Coming from RC Maker are three new carbon fibre optionals for the Awesomatix A800X touring car. First up are some crazy looking bulkhead flex dampeners. The parts allow for two in-between settings, complementing the optional no-brace and straight link settings. Made from super thin 3K carbon, they attach to the bulkheads directly and provide consistent dampening (restriction) of the flex at the front of the front bulkheads in every direction. There are two different stiffeners included, the larger sized one provides the most flex of the two, but still reduces the flex here by around 50 percent. The smaller one is stiffer, and reduces the flex by roughly 70 percent. Using the parts will make for improved overall consistency especially with the MMCX conversions.
