3DRC 64 pitch Pinion Caddy

German brand 3DRC has introduced the new 64 pitch pinion caddy. Coming 3-D-printed, the pinion gear holder was designed to hold 38T to 48T 64 pitch pinions with the special design doing away for any additional tools to secure the gears as they simply clip in place. Holes in the backplate allow to easily spot the gear size of pinions with size markings on the front. The carrier is usable with most of today’s 64 pitch pinions and it is available through 3DRC’s Shapeways store or at select model shops.

Exotek have introduced a 74T 48 pitch spur gear for the Xray XB4 1/10th scale buggy. Aimed at 13.5T stock racing, the main gear allows to gear higher thanks to the smaller tooth count, and to run bigger pinions without cutting and modifying the stock motor plate. The heavy duty machined delrin gear includes M2.5 hardware so that it reverse mounts to the spur while allowing the spur teeth to clear the hardware.

Schumacher Atom/CC low-profile front end

Made for the Atom and Atom CC GT12 pan cars is Schumacher’s new low-profile front end. The key benefits are a reduced king pin offset that is making the car easier to drive while also giving a more linear feeling due to better flex and geometry. The front end also allows for quick and easy camber adjustment with one nut and an adjustable ride height with shims under four points, independent of caster adjustment. Finally it gives more adjustment of the ride height on the kingpin. The assembly requires the #U4866 alloy hub carriers as it cannot be used with kit hub carriers.
