Wild Turbo Fan Mad Max 3D fan mount

New from Wild Turbo Fan and Mad Max Products comes the Mad Max 3D fan mount. Different from conventional fan mounts with only a small contact area, the unique 3D design allows a much stronger connection to the motor using a custom made carbon fibre cross brace and an aluminium stopper. This fan mount is usable with 30mm to 40mm fans including WTF’s Windy fan and will fit the Awesomatix touring car and most belt driven cars. The design allows to take of the fan using only one screw after initial assembly and the mount is of a very low weight at only 5.8g. Included with the mount comes all needed hardware as well as two different carbon mounting brackets.

Arrowmax 1/8″ differential ball sets

Arrowmax 1/8" differential ball sets

Arrowmax have three different 12-piece sets of 1/8″ differential balls available. Coming as standard steel, carbide and ceramic variants, the sets are usable in a wide range of applications with the steel balls being a direct replacement for many kit diff balls. The carbide balls are an ideal upgrade for everyone looking for a bit more performance and a smoother working diff while the ceramic variant marks the top-of-the-foodchain solution. Using ceramic balls in combination with keyed diff rings makes for the smoothest possible diff action but using these type of balls requires a more frequent maintenance and some experience in adjusting ball differentials.

Smokem 416-IIX carbon fibre chassis

Smokem Racing has answered the call of many TRF416 racers by releasing an “IIX” chassis for Tamiya’s venerable TRF416. At the heart of the 416-IIX is a proprietary 2.0mm thick “Pro-Weave” 100 percent carbon fiber construction – which is stiffer than conventional weave but softer than a quasi weave. As seen on the company’s 418-IIX and BD7-IIX chassis, this unique construction is married to a flowing contoured design for increased flex and a lowered centre of gravity. This combination delivers increased corner speed over a wide range of track conditions and temperatures. High speed steering and transitional response are also improved with the 416-IIX design. The 416-IIX chassis also features mounting holes for Smokem’s 417CTR servo mount to further enhance the flex characteristics of the chassis and to bring the TRF416 fully up to speed with other modern tourer designs.

Yokomo R12 C3.1 1/12th pan car kit

Yokomo introduce the latest incarnation of their 4-time JMRCA National and 2-time IFMAR World Championship winning 1/12th scale car, the R12 C3.1. The kit features the newly developed rear friction tube dampers which consist of small-sized and light weight plastic-moulded tube dampers, a system that is used up front great results for some time now. The dampers reduce roll and improve agility of the car especially on carpet surfaces while the use of thicker rear oil also helps with rear end grip on asphalt surfaces. Up front, the C3.1 inherits the proven, fully adjustable double wishbone suspension and friction dampers from the previous generation R12’s. the C3.1 will be ready for shipping by the end of July.
