Power HD EP-XYT single bracket low-profile servo

Power HD have introduced their new EP-XYT single bracket low-profile servo. Coming with a single mounting lug the touring car specific servo makes for a cleaner electronics layout as it does away with the need to run standard servo mounts as three different inner mounting adapters allow to directly attach the servo to the chassis. The adapters are available for the Xray T4, Tamiya TRF419X and the Yokomo BD7. The high-voltage compatible servo offers up to 12kg-cm of torque at a speed of down to 0.07s and it features dual ball bearings, a coreless motor and a mixed titanium and aluminium geartrain.

VBC Racing Lightning FXM 1/10th formula car kit

VBC Racing have introduced the latest incarnation of the Lightning FX formula car, the Lightning FXM. With a focus on being an evolution rather than a revolution many design features were taken over from the predecessor with refinements being made to create a more versatile, easier to drive and faster car. The rear end of the car underwent the most changes with the rear pod being a complete redesign. Inspired by the Lightning 12M the FXM features a very low centre of gravity and lightweight rear pod design, with the bulkheads being made of black anodised 7075 aluminium. The assembly also features a cross brace support made from carbon fibre tubing that prevents the pod from tweaking, it shields the rear axle from dirt and debris and it also makes for longer axle bearing life.

STRC release new Axial aluminium option parts

ST Racing Concepts have introduced new aluminium option parts for a range of vehicles including the SMT10, Yeti, RR Bomber and the SCX10 II. First up are the aluminium lower suspension link reinforcement plates. Designed for the use with the SMT10, Yeti and RR10 Bomber, the CNC-machined aluminium upper and lower link plates offer improved durability and looks. The plates bolt right on through the existing holes of the nylon lower links and greatly increase the durability and rigidity of the suspension. They reduce flex in the lower suspension links, allowing the suspension to soak up the bumps and jumps properly. Each pack features four aluminium plates that are in the same shape and profile as the plastic lower links with light weight cut-outs and all the necessary hardware to install them and they are available in blue, black, green, gun metal, and silver.

Team Associated TC7.1 Factory Team

Team Associated have announced the release of the TC7.1 Factory Team, the latest in their line of 1:10th scale 4WD electric touring car kits. An evolution of its successful predecessor, the TC7 FT, the primary focus for the TC7.1 FT was to allow for a lower center of mass to take advantage of the higher grip levels. Starting with the ultra-smooth short FOX shocks with Genuine Kashima Coat mounted low on the chassis, and rounding out with DCV drive shafts for the front end, no corners were left untouched to make the smoothest power delivery and optimal load transfer. Other key features include a narrow chassis with optimized flex characteristics, one-piece motor mount, floating servo mount, and rear gear diff for maximum performance and minimal maintenance.
