Serpent Mini Spider 1:24 RTR Short Course

Better known for their high end onroad competition cars, Serpent has released this ‘fun’ 1:24 Mini Spider SC RTR. Made of super elastic plastic, the 2WD chassis is powered by a coreless motor that takes the Short Course truck up to 20km/h. If this is too fast for you in the living room or children’s room, you can also reduce the speed thanks to a rotary control nub. Throttle/brake and steering commands are sensitively implemented in full proportion by the 2.4GHz remote control. The Mini Spider SC has built-in ‘Electronic Stability Program’ (ESP) which keeps the rear-drive vehicle always well on track even on smooth surfaces such as laminate or tiled floors. Thanks to a built-in ‘gyro’, the truck detects unnatural movements of the rear and steers automatically against it to prevent a breakaway (to a certain extent).

7075.it MBX8 R ECO Conversion Kit

Italian after market parts producer 7075.it has released a new conversion kit for the Mugen Seiki MBX8 R ECO 1:8 Buggy. The 7075 SPC Kit is based on a completely redesigned alu chassis with hard black anodising. The design gives better weight balance and rotates the motor 180° and moves it more forward wit the saddle-pack batteries moved to the rear. A new type of central transmission is perfectly aligned with the central differential which is moved to the centre of the chassis for greater efficiency of rotating parts and improved smoothness. There is a new battery trays for 2S shorty batteries with two mounting positions on the chassis: one forward for more aggressive cornering, and one rearward for greater stability. A new receiver/ESC/servo mounting plate made from a single 3D-printed plastic piece for weight balance and easy maintenance. The new 3mm thick servo saver brace is machined from a solid 6mm block. The design allows mounting on both the 7075 SPC kit and the original kit by simply moving the front reinforcement brace anchor point.

TLR 22X-T 2WD Stadium Truck

Having released their all new 22X 1:10 2WD Race Buggy last month, Team Losi Racing has now announced their new Stadium Truck based on the same platform. Key improvements include a hard-anodized 2mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis that’s lengthened and optimized for today’s higher grip tracks, plus adjustable body mounts and all-new front and rear arms. The buggy-length shocks and lower towers produce a lower CG, while larger, 13mm big-bore shocks with 13mm springs contribute to plush landings and quick cornering. Two front caster block and spindle options let you tune the steering feel with options for wide or narrow king pin locations available. The 22X-T also has a new laydown gearbox that offers easy access to the proven ball differential. You’ll be able to maintain the differential and idler gear quickly without disassembling the entire gear box – a big advantage given that the suspension uses the gearbox for all of its mounting positions. TLR includes many option items with the 22X-T to offer the maximum amount of tunability. It also has many parts in common with the 22X DC and 22X AC Race Buggy Kits for easy parts sharing.

Ultimate Racing COMPAK 4 Pro B10 Alu 1:8 Clutch

New from Spanish brand Ultimate Racing is their COMPAK 4 Pro B10 Aluminium Clutch for 1:8 Offroad use. The 4-shoe adjustable clutch redefines the concept of tunable clutches by introducing a unique adjustment system to the market. This system allows you to change the clutch stiffness with the engine mounted and the car fully ready to run. To adjust simply flip the buggy, lock the flywheel, and move the regulator to the desired position. You can choose between three levels of stiffness (I, II, III), laser-engraved directly on the flywheel. This innovation minimises clutch adjustment time. “I” is the softest setting or mounting position, and “III” is the hardest. To check the current setting, just see which number aligns with the adjustment hole on the regulator. The 33 mm flywheel has been carefully designed to ensure compatibility with most brands on the market. In addition, the set is precisely designed to fit Ultimate clutch bells.
