SMJ 1/8th GT wing buttons & body mount patches

Coming from SMJ are new aluminium wing buttons for 1/8th GT cars as well as body mount patches for 6mm body mount holes. Starting with the wing buttons, the CNC machined aluminium parts are available in a range of colours and using them will reinforce the wing mount area which leads to increased downforce while also making for some visual impact. The line includes red, black and gun metal anodised buttons that are also usable in other applications such as buggies and trucks. The second new body accessory are body mount patches. They offer a 6mm diameter inner hole and are best used on all freshly assembled bodies as they prevent the paint around the body mount hole becoming scratched while also reinforcing the area especially when using lightweight body shells. The pack includes ten pre-cut patches.

Reds Racing M7 WCS Diamond Edition on-road engine

Italian company Reds Racing have introduced their new M7 WCS Diamond Edition 1/8th nitro on-road engine. The 7-port extra long stroke engine is based on the M7 WCS 3.0 power plant and it features a new DLC-coated crankshaft, a new carburettor, a new cooling head and Reds Racing’s anti-dirt sealing system. The DLC-coated crankshaft and backplate will make for improved engine durability while the on-road specific carburettor provides greater idling stability, more precise tuning and improved power delivery. Furthermore the engine comes with a brand new cooling head which features an new design for improved airflow, resulting in increased cooling and a lower centre of gravity. The new cooling head is also lighter than the standard ones. Finally the cooling head’s anti-dirt sealing system keeps the engine clean in a critical area between the cooling head and crankcase. The redesigned crankcase also provides easier maintenance and a cleaner engine for longer life.

Ruddog Glitch Buster receiver voltage stabiliser

Ruddog Distribution’s Glitch Buster receiver voltage stabiliser is a small capacitor unit that is made to be plugged into any free receiver channel. It stabilises the receiver battery voltage and prevents voltage drops that can occur when using power-hungry digital servos and that can lead to radio glitches and thus an uncontrolled vehicle behaviour. It is usable with electric and nitro vehicles and especially recommended when using standard voltage receiver batteries and BEC systems.
