Orcan introduce the Push Box

New from Orcan comes the Push Box, a specially designed part to improve engine performance and mileage. Used in prototype form by Alexander Hagberg to win the 2014 IFMAR 200mm Worlds the Push Box is made to become looped in the pressure line between the exhaust and the fuel tank and it makes for a more reliable and constant engine performance especially right after refuelling when running with high fuel levels as it prevents the engine from running too rich.

ARC R8.0E 1/8th electric on-road kit

Shortly after the announcement of the R8.0 1/8th nitro on-road car ARC have first renderings of an electric-powered variant available. Sharing around 85 percent of parts with the nitro variant the whisper silent electric car will sport a relocated drivetrain with an inner mounting position for the centre belt to allows the battery packs to be mounted as close to the centre of the chassis as possible. The battery trays will accept 2S, 4S and 6S LiPo packs while the motor mount takes industry standard 550-class motors. The speed controller will be located on a separate tray to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible. With the R8.0E being a purpose designed kit there will also be a conversion kit available for the R8.0 allowing nitro drivers to use the car off season. Both the full kit and the conversion will become available in July.

Schumacher SupaStox chassis & diff option parts

Schumacher have new optional parts for the SupaStox GT available in the form of the low pivot conversion and the pro thrust race. Starting with the low pivot conversion, the set lowers the rear pivot ball height giving the car more overall traction, making it easier to drive. It also reduces the chances of the rear traction running out during a run as it works the rear tyres less.
