Arena RC Racing have introduced a new version of their body trimming block for touring car body shells. The 3-D-printed tool was designed for the use with a Zebra Name Pen and similar fine liners and its design allows to conveniently draw lower body trim lines at heights of 7.5mm up to 9.0mm by simply flipping the block. The carbon-reinforced tool is available from now on.
Arena have introduced a body trim block for 1/10th touring car body shells. The 3-D-printed tool was designed for the use with a Zebra fine pens and similar fine liners and its design allows to conveniently draw lower body trim lines at heights of 5.5mm up to 7.0mm by simply flipping the block.
Coming soon from Arena are cooling fan ducts for 30mm and 40mm motor fan units. The carbon fibre reinforced ducts will be a direct fit for the Infinity IF14 and Xray T4 cars but it is understood that they will be usable with a range of other chassis also. Using the ducts will greatly improve the fan’s cooling performance as the air is guided towards the motor can, doing away with the need to use scrap-built polycarbonate ducts or the like.

Arena RC Racing have released a 4-piece set of 0.5mm carbon fibre touring car wing endplates. While adding visual impact the plates add stability to the outer portion of the wing while still being very light of weight. The endplates are made from high-quality carbon fibre and measure 20x40mm, meeting most governing bodies’ requirements in terms of dimensions, however they may not be actually race legal in your area due to being considered a risk to other cars as well as marshals or the track surface because of their thin and rigid nature. The 4-piece set equips two standard touring car rear wings and it is available now.

Made for Xray’s T4’18 touring car are three new new Arena carbon fibre option parts. First up are 3mm front and rear carbon fibre shock towers. They match the stock 2018 geometry and also fit older spec T4 cars to make them usable with Xray’s new ULP ultra low profile shock absorbers. Also new is a T4’18 specific carbon fibre top deck. Like the shock towers it matches the geometry of the 2018 kit.
Coming from Arena are a carbon fibre main chassis and top deck for the Mugen MTC1 touring car. Made from a material that uses a different weaving method the parts will make for different flex characteristics that are better suited for medium to high-bite traction conditions.
Arena have introduced a set of lightweight carbon fibre droop blocks. The 10mm supports weigh in at 6.7g per set and they are used as chassis supports during droop measuring and adjustment. White Arena logos make for easy identification and the blocks are available now.

Arena have introduced a range of aluminium servo mount collars and low-friction shock O-rings for Xray vehicles. As for the servo mount collars, the parts are machined from high-quality aluminium and they are used to prevent the servo from moving in its mounts as they interlock with the case’s lugs, effectively preventing the servo from moving during a hard hit. The mounting collars are available in orange, black and blue colour.
