T-Works have introduced a set of anti-slip battery foams. The strips measure 110x25mm and they are cut from 0.5mm thin material to keep the battery pack as low as possible. Using the foam underneath hardcase LiPo batteries keeps the packs from sliding around, retaining the car’s weight balance even when the going gets touch. The foam strips are usable not only with touring car chassis but also other on-road and off-road vehicles. The set contains two pieces and it is available now.
RC-Mission have introduced new 10-piece sets of orange anodised button head aluminium screws. Made from high-quality material and coming with a bright orange surface coating the fasteners are available in 3x5mm, 3x6mm and 3x8mm dimensions, covering some of the most-used screw sizes. As usual with aluminium fasteners these screws are best used in lower-stress areas and they are available very soon.
