BMT have introduced a new Nickel-plated aluminium clutch bell for the 016GT on-road car. The bell weighs in at only 7.2g, sparing a more than 10g over the original part for reduced rotational mass, which equals faster acceleration and thus improved on-track performance.

Zen Racing SRG mini servo mounts

Coming from Zen Racing are two specific Sanwa SRG mini servo mounts for Zen Racing’s 1/12th pan cars. The cradle holds the Sanwa SRG servo so it may be mounted directly to the chassis in a more traditional fashion. Using the brace to raise the servo off the chassis allows the servo saver to stay above the bottom of the chassis, adding servo support while the brace placed over the servo creates a floating mount to lower the servo. The mount has also been given an offset to get the servo spline in a more traditional position. The mount is available as a GT version with 9mm off-set from chassis mounting hole to servo mounting face and as LMP variant with 7.75mm off-set.
