Zen Racing have introduced a carbon fibre chassis set for the Roche P12 Evo 1/12th scale pan car kit. The chassis shape has been changed slightly at the front in order to improve strength while adjusted cutouts give the servo saver a little more room. Included with the main chassis comes a suitable lower rear pod plate.

HiroFactory have introduced a new central lock left wheel hub for Tamiya F104/F103 formula cars. Featuring a clamping design using a central locking nut the hub offers improved reliability compared to standard locking-type hubs while being gentle on the axle shaft at the same time. Usable with all 6.35mm or 1/4” axles and on F104/F103-style cars the hub comes machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and it is black anodised for wear and looks.

Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is a low profile conversion kit for the Xray T4 touring car. The set allows for a somewhat radical shock conversion that places the dampers 5mm lower compared to the standard setting for an overall lower centre of gravity. In addition the updated geometry optimises overall damping for higher corner speeds, less traction rolling in high-grip conditions and a more linear shock action. The set, that fits the 2017 to 2019 variants of the T4, contains all needed parts, including shock towers, lower arm extensions and machined original T4 arms. As usual with Rebellion-RC’s carbon fibre optionals, the set is available in twelve different carbon fibre weave colours and all parts, as well as the machined arms, are also available separately for spares or repair.
KO Propo have introduced their new RSx3-one10 Type-T servo, specially developed for the use with Tamiya brushless speed controllers. The steering servo builds on the proven RSx3-one10 series, however a specially developed coreless motor makes for lower current consumption, ideal for speed controller with less powerful BEC systems such as Tamiya’s brushless ESC that features a 1.5A BEC system. The servo is aimed towards the use in Tamiya racing series where the Tamiya speedo is mandatory but it can be used with basically every other electronic speed controller. In addition the servo features five programmed settings, for high-grip asphalt, low-grip asphalt, low-grip carpet, Tamiya World Championship blue carpet and the Tamyia Kakegawa track, all of which are accessible using KO Propo’s HCS programming interface. To further make the servo stand out it features light blue case details and a black high-flex receiver wire.

Muchmore have introduced three new standard size Impact Silicon Graphene series LiPo and LiHV battery packs. First up is the 8200mAh Impact Max-Punch FD4 7.4V LiPo pack that measures 138×46.5×24.8mm and weighs in at 323g. The 130C cells provide lots of punch for non-booted stock racing classes. Next up is the 6000mAh Impact LCG Max-Punch FD4 7.4V pack, again made of high-performance 130C cells but at 22.3mm of height it weighs in at 285g, making for an overall lower centre of gravity. The battery is aimed at blinky and boosted stock racing classes. Both packs features a flat voltage discharge curve and a super low internal resistance. Last but not least comes the Impact LCG HV FD4 LiHV 7.6V battery pack. Made of high-quality 130C cells and featuring a flat voltage discharge curve the 22.3mm tall battery weighs in at 283g and it can be charged to up to 8.7V, making it ideal for outlaw stock and modified racing.

RC-Carbonstore have introduced new Rebellion-RC arm mount plates for the Xray X1 formula car. Designed especially for the multi-wheelbase chassis the optional plates provide more precise steering and more overall front side bite also when used with the original chassis. As usual the precision-machined and available in a variety of colours. Included with the plates comes an orange anodised alloy post to couple the steering bellcrank and the upper arm mount plates.
Coming soon from Team Bomber is the YR12XX conversion kit for the Yokomo YRX12 1/12th scale pan car kit. The set includes a new aluminium main chassis and rear lower pod plate with the design doing away with the standard bellcrank steering in favour of a conventional direct steering setup. The angled side links can be attached in two different positions to fine-tune steering and rear grip levels and also included are a new front body mount, new aluminium front suspension bulkheads as well as a floating steering servo mount. The kit is rounded out by a new upper damper plate that allows to run a more forward-mounted and shorter shock, a new rear chassis brace and new side tube dampers.
Infinity has released an optional high flex top deck for their IF14 electric touring car. Narrower than the standard top deck, it has been designed to keep high rigidity during pitching while still maximising chassis flexibility. The deck becomes more flexible during the latter half of cornering making it also suited to low-grip tracks. The new top deck is machined from high-quality 2.0mm-thick carbon.
