First images - HB Pro 5 Touring car

Team HB are making their race debut here in Kissimmee with their all new Pro 5 platform. As to be expected it is somewhat of a conventional layout and configuration but as with almost all touring cars on the market it is the details that matter. With only the rear uprights and the front driveshafts carried over from its predecessor the car has been completely revamped. Up front the steering knuckles have keyed carbon levers for adjusting the Ackermann, the floating steering servo mount features an integrated antenna holder and battery stop.

Fenix 1-piece differential joint for Formula cars

Italian company Fenix Racing introduce a 1-piece differential shaft for 1/10th scale Formula 1 cars. Made for Tamiya-style 6mm rear axles the part is machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and it offers a longer thread to allow the use of taller M4 self locking nuts. This in turn improves reliability and allows to use a larger number of diff springs. To minimise weight the contact area for the inner diff plate has been milled down to the smallest possible diameter while the precise machining of the whole parts ensures super true running.

Shepherd Velox V10 Pro Team Edition main chassis

Shepherd announce the release of the Team Edition main chassis plate for the Velox V10 Pro 1/10th 200mm car. Developed and tested by the Shepherd’s factory team drivers the new chassis has already shown its potential at this year’s European Championship in Valencia. The extra hard chassis plate is CNC-machined from German 7075-T6 aluminium with the combination of super-strong material and updated battery cutout resulting in improved flex characteristics for increased overall traction under all conditions. An additional cutout for the middle bearing block prevents it from twisting and keeps the belts perfectly aligned at all times. The Team Edition chassis is available now.

RDRP Ultra Motor Distance Plate Set

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce the new Ultra Motor Distance Plate Set that helps to fine-tune the weight distribution of a variety of vehicles such as in-line motored off-road buggies or touring cars with transversal motor position. The shims help to shift the motor forth and back or left and right in order to optimise weight distribution without the need for additional weights. On pan cars the plates also adjust the weight balance of the rear pod if needed. Motors with ultra long shafts can be re-shimmed to avoid any contact between the shaft and the battery pack or other equipment. The set includes a 1.0mm and one 2.0mm plate, both being made of black anodised aluminium with laser-etched logos.
