The machined alloy tube slides between the rotor and stator and helps to easily extract and replace the rotor for maintenance, setup or repair purposes, and it is usable with rotors of up to 13mm diameter. The tube comes black anodised, with silver edge details and an etched Hobbywing logo.

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for Yokomo’s YD2 series of RWD drift cars is an adjustable suspension mount set. Included are 1-piece front and rear suspension mounts that utilise composite inserts to adjust the height and angle of the suspension pins in order to fine-tune the suspension settings. The mounts are machined from quality aluminium, they come black anodised and with machined silver edge details.

Surpass Hobby have introduced their new Rocket V4S sensored brushless racing and V4D drift motors. Build to comply with IFMAR, ROAR and BRCA rules the motors utilise a high-strength 7075 aluminium can with unique double colour V-routing design for a low weight of around 145g. The V4S also uses non-magnetic, hardened alloy screws to extract more RPM and power from the motor. Heavy duty rotors further up the performance of the motors that are available as 3.5T to 9.5T modified and 10.5T to 25.5T stock racing variants.
Available now from Trinity is the new White Carbon 6000mAh LCG touring cat battery pack. The hardcase pack is built using high-quality 100C cells, it is 22.5mm tall and weighs in at 288g. The white colour hardcase pack is equipped with 5mm tube-style connectors and its reduced height compared to standard size batteries means an overall lower centre of gravity for improved corner speeds especially on high bite surfaces.

New from Ruddog Products comes a clear double sided tape for a wide range of applications. Coming as convenient 100cm rolls the clear silicone tape offers a comparable thickness to standard foam tapes, however it is much easier to remove from the chassis and electronics while still offering loads of bonding strength for demanding off-road and on-road applications. The somewhat thin tape keeps the electronics as low as possible for minimal influence on the car’s overall centre of gravity and at 25mm width it is ideal for speed controllers, receivers, personal transponders and many more.
