Xray XB8 series soft, ribbed shock membranes

Coming from Xray and made for the XB8 series of buggies, trucks and cars are soft, ribbed shock absorber volume compensators. The membranes are of a softer material than stock which results in reduced shock rebound, making them ideal for bumpy or high speed tracks. Internal ribbings ensure they maintain their shape even when the going gets tough as does the heavy duty rubber material. The membranes come in sets of four and they fit the XB8, XT8 and GTX8 kits.

3DRC 30mm Fan Booster super short

3DRC’s popular 30mm Fan Booster is now also available in a super short variant. Designed for all electric touring cars with limited space behind the motor the super short variant also comes in handy when mounting the fan in front of the motor or when less weight is needed in the rear part of the chassis. Like the standard length variant the Fan Booster will channel the cooling air created by the fan towards the motor can for optimised cooling and less motor power fading during a run. The part is usable with most 30mm fans and it is available directly through 3DRC’s Shapeways store.

Protoform RT-C lightweight rubber tyre oval body shell

Protoform’s latest oval racing lid is the RT-C lightweight rubber tyre body shell. The XFINITY Series continues to provide full scale stock car fans with close exciting racing in 2017. Protoform now presents an oval body inspired by the newest generation of these cars. The RT-C has a bit of a twist though, as it is configured to fit perfectly over the taller rubber and capped tyres. Rubber tyres on carpet oval cars have put driving skill and a new element of fun into the oval scene. The longer lasting rubber tyre format saves time and money as well, eliminating the tyre truing process. The RT-C offers a large rear spoiler to aid in tuning – for that perfect front to rear balance, while the left side of the body is bumped out for extra battery clearance. The RT-C is produced in high-quality .025″ polycarbonate and includes spoiler mounting hardware, protective film, window masks and a decal sheet. This body will also fit most popular 200mm sedan chassis.

Protoform P47-N 1/10th 200mm nitro touring body shell

Protoform have introduced the next evolution of the IFMAR World title-winning P37 body shell, the P47-N. Featuring all-new aero concepts and some design cues never before seen in the class, the P47 was exhaustively tested by Protoform’s team to find a body that offers more precise and smooth steering, increased corner speed and forward bite, and additional top speed on long straights. A raised section of the left side window can be cut out to scoop air into the body for additional engine cooling, and a large high-downforce/low-drag wing complete the design. The body meets all EFRA (#2058), IFMAR and ROAR body rule requirements and is available as .025″ light weight and .030″ regular weight variant. Included with the P47 is a decal sheet, paint-then-peel overspray film, window masks and durable nylon wing mounting hardware.
