Radtec BD7 & T4-14 aluminium main chassis

Radtec announce the soon release of new aluminium main chassis plates for the Yokomo BD7 and the Xray T4-14. The chassis are made of black anodised 2.0mm high-grade USA 7075 aluminium material and retain the shape of the stock carbon fibre chassis. Strategically placed milled out sections reduce the overall weight while 15 degree bevels on the outer edges chassis scrubbing during cornering, thus improving steering and corner speed on high speed tracks.

Schelle B44.2 shorty battery conversion kit

Schelle B44.2 shorty conversion kit

Schelle Racing Innovations introduce a shorty conversion kit for the company’s already available B44.2 aluminium chassis. Upon the release of the chassis in March, many racers took notice that an upcoming shorty pack conversion was built into the Schelle design. The Schelle shorty conversion design allows for lighter weight by shedding around 80g of battery weight going from a saddle pack to a shorty. Optimised component placement on the chassis gives the car almost identical weight bias to a saddle pack car, but now in a lighter and more agile package. The lighter weight also benefits jumping and landing, with the shocks carrying less weight on takeoffs and landings. The shorty layout is more mass centralised, with heavier components closer to the centre of the car which gives the feeling of faster and more smooth rotation through the turns. The conversion will be a limited edition with only two production batches. The first batch of B44.2 shorty conversions are available for pre-order now.
