Coming from German brand RC Cars Cavalieri is a carbon fibre switch cover for the TLR 8ight series of vehicles. Designed to replace the standard composite cover with a solid, machined carbon fibre one, it will allow for a simple and good looking alternative when not utilising a standard switch. The cover prevents dust, dirt and moisture from getting into the radio box while also adding some visual impact.
Coming from PSM and made for the Team Associated R6 series of cars is a set of titanium front axles. They are made of high-quality grade 5 material and weigh in at only 1g per piece. The shafts are a direct fit and greatly reduce the unsprung weight of the front end for improved overall suspension performance.
Made for the Sanwa M12 series of transmitters is Vigor RC’s 90g brass balance weight. Purpose designed for the use with the M12, the weight will improve the balance of the radio when mounted in the rear part of the battery tray. The result is a more effortless and less tiring use of the transmitter even during long main finals.
RC Maker have introduced a lightweight fan mount for the Awesomatix A800X touring car. Machined from premium 7075-T6 aluminium and coming anodised for wear, the mount can secure 30mm or 40mm fan units with no double sided tape or risk of falling off. It attaches to the spare hole located behind the motor on Awesomatix’s A800 and A800X and it weighs in at only 1g, making it the lightest, most durable solution to securing a fan.
Coming from Schumacher and made for the Mi6Evo touring car are new low 46mm front suspension mounts. Available as 1-piece and split variant, the mounts are of a -0.5mm design which lowers the suspension shafts for more front end both and greater setup opportunities. Included in the bags are enough 0.5mm washers to get back to the standard pin height. These parts have recently been used by the team in association with the narrow front hex #U3570 to give a smooth feel yet with good steering. The mounts are available separately from now on.
French brand Rusti Design has introduced a range of carbon fibre option parts for the Xray XB4 buggy. Currently available are 4mm front and rear shock towers as well as a 0.8mm carbon fibre rear wing stiffener. The shock towers use the same geometry as the stock parts, however they are of an updated design to make them stand out. As for the wing mount stiffener, the part will be sandwiched between the wing mount and wing, improving the strength of the while area while also ensuring a longer wing life when the action is getting rough.
Xray have introduced a 20T low-friction layshaft pulley for the T4 series of cars. The belt pulley is of a distinctive orange colour and precision-moulded for roundness and reliability while the specially formulated graphite material reduces overall friction.
