Yokomo BD9 HVF shock shafts & alloy rear axle

Coming from Yokomo and made for their BD9 touring car are new HVF fluorine-coated shock shafts and a C-clip type rear aluminium axle shaft. Starting with the shock shafts the 19.1mm long items are a direct fit and thanks to the slick HVF fluorine coating, that was developed in cooperation with Axon, they will ensure even finer shock action, allowing to absorb the smallest of suspension movement for improved traction in all racing condition. The shafts come in sets of four and they are available now.

Exotek Racing WR8 Flux speed chassis conversion

Exotek Racing have announced the release of a high speed carbon fibre chassis conversion set for the HPI WR8 Flux Gymkhana 1/8 4WD rally car. The extra light weight conversion that removes all of the unneeded parts and hardware that transforms the WR8 into a super streamlined and race worthy performance chassis, scrubbing about 220g of weight compared to the stock set up. The rigid but very light weight carbon fibre chassis is mated to a reinforced alloy nose plate for durability and the optimised weight balance via extra mounting holes allows the motor and battery to be mounted at the rear of the chassis for improved rear traction and jumping balance. Alloy battery cups are multi-positioned to allow front or rear and left or right weight balance which is great for 2S or 3sS battery positioning using hard case batteries. Finally, the chassis is topped off with an alloy centre chassis brace and alloy servo mounts to also improve on lowering the overall centre of gravity.

West Coast R/C Works fan shrouds

West Coast R/C Works have released their new line of fan shrouds for standard 30mm cooling fans and the WTF Windy. Available in two different designs, open and the directed flow, both designs will improve the motor temperatures significantly over a fan only scenario. However they differ in the way how they channel the airflow to the motor. The open flow channels the airflow to the whole motor can and therefore suits the more closed can design of previous motor generations, while the directed flow channels the air directly to the coils of the latest motors where the majority of the can has been removed. Compatible with most touring cars on the market, they are made out of carbon fibre infused nylon.
