Senesi Motorsport S21 GT Low Profile Shock Tower Kit

Senesi Motorsport, the brand of reigning EFRA 1:8 GT European Champion Natanaele Senesi, has released this Low Profile Shock Tower Kit for their signature S21 1:8 GT chassis. With the kit including low profile front and rear shock tower plus four low profile spring supports, the aim of the kit is to lower the shock position by -7mm in the front and -10mm in the rear. The result is not only a lower centre of gravity but also a more stable and direct car in high grip conditions. A direct replacement fit for the S21 GT and GTE, the kit can also be used on the Xray GTX8 and GTXE platforms.

Aerox Bat-Safe box

Aerox, the accessories brand from Schumacher, has released this Bat-Safe for the charging & storage of LiPo batteries. LiPos can be dangerous and the Bat-Safe provides the safest experience whether it will be storing, transporting or most importantly charging. Highly recommending all LiPo batteries should be charged and stored in a Bat-Safe box and not a LiPo bag, Schumacher Racing are no longer selling LiPo Bags as they don’t believe they offer adequate LiPo fire protection. The Aerox Bat-Safe is a double-walled insulated steel box with a flame arrestor. Any battery within the specifications will not be a fire hazard if charged or stored inside it and in case of a fire, the smoke and soot is also filtered by the flame arrestor.
