KM H-K1 steel dog bones & middle layshafts

KM Racing have new option parts for the H-K1 200mm nitro car available in the form of spring steel rear dogbones and two new middle shafts. Starting with the dogbones, the parts are made from high-quality spring steel and are heat-treated to make them stronger and longer lasting. The red steel parts come laser-etched for easy identification and are a direct replacement for the stock driveshafts. The second new part is a hollow hardened steel middle shaft. The lightweight axle is suitable for pin-type and screw-type pulleys and offers the same design as the EVO2-485A HK485Ti-V2 parts. Last but not least comes the titanium middle shaft made for the screw type pulleys HK460-16TV2 and HK460-23TV2. It can be used with pin-type pulleys though and is of very low weight while offering exceptional durability thanks to the titanium material used.

CSO Super-V3 flexible chassis conversion kit

CSO introduce the Super-V3 flexible chassis conversion kit for the CSO-One, Team C TC10 and the Xray T4 and T4’2104. The integral part of the kit is the redesigned motor and layshaft mount that now mounts directly on the centre line of the chassis resulting in more equal left-to-right chassis flex. The updated layshaft mount sports mounting holes to connect the upper deck with the mount which helps on very high grip surfaces. An additional upper deck post can be added on front of the motor, again located directly on the chassis’ centre line. It is understood that the conversion kit includes a new chassis and topdeck as well as the motor and layshaft mount along a set of aluminium centre pulleys. There will also be a version that additionally includes front and rear aluminium suspension mounts.
