RC Maker have introduced their new centre weight spacer for all rear motor Awesomatix A800X cars. This 0.5mm carbon plate makes it very easy to lift the centre weight on the A800X. Normally shims are required which are very fiddly and difficult to install, this plate does not require the screws to be undone fully and slides in from the side, making it a super adjustable and easy solution.
Hobbywing have introduced their new EZRun 4985, 5687 and 56113 sensorless brushless motors for 1/6th and 1/5th scale vehicles. Designed for the use with the forthcoming upgraded Max6 and Max5 speed controllers the motors feature a built-in temperature sensor and port that will prevent the motors from being damaged due to overheating. The power plants utilise CNC-machined heatsink-design aluminium cans, ultra-thing silicon steel lamination, heat-resistant, double-insulated windings, as well as sturdy alloy steel pinion shafts, bonded rotors and high-quality Japan-made ball bearings.

Coming from Blaze Racing and made for the CRC CK25 1/12th scale pan car is a large bearing holder. The CNC-machined aluminium holder was designed to take larger 1/4×1/2 that offer much greater durability compared to the standard-size bearings, ensuring less issues when hitting track barriers or other cars. During testing Blaze Racing found out that the larger bearings will also not come apart in severe crashes, ensuring the ability to at least finish the race after heavy impacts. The bearing holder is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes in a natural matte finish.
Coming from Tekin is their new RSX Pro 1/10th scale modified racing brushless speed controller. Using only the best available components and materials, this ESC is performance defined. Bred for 1/10th scale modified competition, the RSX Pro promises maximum power with precise control and reliability. With a highly efficient aluminium heat sink housing and an entire array of adjustable features, drivers have the ability to fine-tune the controller’s massive power for the win. Included with the RSX PRO is a detachable fan shroud system for maximum cooling in extreme racing conditions. Data logging, a high voltage HD internal BEC and optional 3rd channel drag brake adjustment come standard as well as access to team driver setups.

Following a couple of teasers on social media, Italian company Bittydesign has finally unveiled their all-new Iron body shell for 190mm touring cars. Developed in cooperation with an industrial designer the body combines scale looks, attention to detail and high performance. The multi-piece shell consists of the lower platform, the upper 2-piece cabin part and a rear 3D bumper skirt that adds weight, realism and air diffusor capabilities when needed. To this adds an additional rear wing that further helps with weight bias and downforce. The cabin can be built in two ways, rotational for improved scale realism with only a small opening in the rear, or fixed, with a large opening in order to reach the front body clips without having to lift the cabin. The body is a direct fit on Tamiya trucks and also usable with most 190mm width/260mm wheelbase touring car chassis and either standard touring car or Tamiya truck tyres.
Trinity have introduced a special drag racing edition of their Monster Horsepower 3.5T modified motor. Equipped with the TEP1154 13.5mm x 24.2mm ultra torque black rotor the motor is designed for all out power and speed, needed for extreme on-road racing with drag racing, pan or touring cars. The motor can handle up to 3S LiPo input and requires a competition speed controller capable of handling down to 3.5T motors.

Awesomatix have introduced new battery mounts for ULCG and shorty battery packs. Machined from brass and coming black anodised for looks and corrosion prevention, the mounts add valuable weight when running lightweight ultra low centre of gravity or shorty battery packs. The ULCG mounts add 22g per holder while the large shorty mounts add 52g of weight per piece. The main goal of the different holder/battery combinations is to further lowering of the overall centre of gravity which can provide huge advantages in high grip track conditions. The items are a direct fit for the A800 platforms and they come as pairs.
