New from Revolution Design Racing Products comes the B5 lightweight heatsink motorplate for the Team Associated B5 buggy. The part is a direct replacement for the standard motor plate on the B5, B5M and T5M and it sports an updated design with machined cooling fins that reduce the weight and improve cooling without sacrificing rigidity. The closed design keeps dirt out of the pinion and main gear area allowing to run the part in every racing condition. The motorplate is cut from aircraft quality 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes blue anodised and laser etched to match with the remainder of RDRP’s Team Associated option parts.

ARC introduce the R8.0 1/8th scale nitro on-road kit. Developed over a period of 18 month and under racing conditions, the newly designed car is based on a slim aluminium chassis and it features bulkheads made from 7075-T6 aluminium for high precision and optimised strength. The transmission parts are manufactured from heat-treated spring steel to minimise wear and maintenance needs while the belt pulleys are designed in a way that they do not need additional adapters to fit on their respective shafts which makes for a much lighter drivetrain. Moulded from high quality composite material the pulleys are also available in a Kevlar variant for improved durability, a lower weight and increased transmission smoothness. The gearbox package is rounded out by module 0.8 spur and pinion gears that allow for high efficiency without sacrificing durability.
