Dash RS-Tuned TITC 13.5T Spec brushless motor

Dash have introduced their new RS-Tuned TITC 13.5T Spec brushless motor. Build to IFMAR specifications, Dash was able to fine-tune the motor to achieve best possible performance while meeting the 3400kV, 2.5A, and +/- 0.030 resistance rules, while also producing one of the most efficient motors available in the market. The machined aluminium can features a high airflow arrow design with large openings to guarantee maximum cooling efficiency, a lower weight and minimised power fading in high ambient temperatures. The redesigned stator helps to achieve a much lower internal resistance while increasing torque to enhance overall performance. The specially tuned motor is equipped with Japan-grade ball bearings and comes engraved with a TITC19 logo for easy identification. The motor will be available at the forthcoming TITC event in Thailand.

Axon Impact Racing Dish touring car wheels

For those who are still gluing their own touring car tyres, Axon have announced the soon release of their Impact Racing Dish 1/10th touring car wheel. The rim is made of a new ABS resin material and compared to the Dynamic Racing Dish wheel, the Impact rim features a slightly different size which, in combination with the new material, will make for optimised tyre rolling motion and an overall improved car and steering feeling, making the rim ideal for high-traction racing conditions.

Xray XB8 series medium rubber shock membrane cell

Xray have introduced their new medium hardness rubber shock membrane cell set for XB8 based buggies, trucks and GT cars. The special design of the volume compensator provides a smaller air gap compared to conventional rubber diaphragms, resulting in more consistent damper action throughout the whole run. The red medium hardness cells will also offer more rebound compared to the previously released soft set, making for improved traction on smoother surfaces. The membranes come in sets of four and they are usable for the nitro and electric variants of the XB8, XT8 and GTX.

Yokomo BD9 linear SLF front springs

Coming soon from Yokomo is their new line of linear SLF front springs for the BD9 touring car. Developed in cooperation with Axon, the springs offer a linear characteristic which will lead to a more aggressive steering feeling compared to the standard progressive front springs. In addition they are 1.5mm shorter, allowing for easier ride height adjustment when running smaller diameter tyres. The individually-marked springs come in 2.6 to 2.8 hardness and according to Yokomo they are also worth a try in the back of the car.

Zero Tribe working on T4 mid motor conversion

Japanese brand Zero Tribe, known for their popular Xray T4 FWD conversion, have released first renderings of a mid motor conversion for Xray’s T4 electric touring car. The design is inspired by Tamiya’s TA05 car and Awesomatix’s A800 MMCX mid motor conversion, with the equal length front and rear belts making for quicker and more even throttle response while the placement of the somewhat heavy motor creates an optimised overall balance. The kit will allow the use of shorty-type LiPo batteries as it is a developing trend when running indoors. We bring you more information on the kit as they surface.

Protoform X-Lite 190mm touring car bodies

Protoform have introduced their new X-Lite 190mm touring car body shells with the popular Type-S, D9, LTC-R and MS7 all being available in the new ultra lightweight variant. With high-grip surfaces such as CRC black carpet now the norm, the weight of 190mm touring car bodies is more crucial than ever. X-Lite bodies will help lower the CG of the car even further than the PRO-Lite types, resulting in better, more responsive handling, less traction roll, and faster lap times. This means Protoform now offers a total of three different body shell weights with the 0.7mm thick “Light Weight” being the standard variant, ideal for races that enforce minimum body weights – such as the ETS – followed by the lighter “PRO-Lite” and ultra lightweight 0.5mm thin “X-Lite” types.
