CRC Gen-X top plate & Truer adapter

CRC have released some new items starting with this top plate for the Gen-X 12 and 10. Made from 4mm carbon fibre, this optional top plate is super rugged and is more resistant to breaking than the standard version, something that is necessary thanks to super hot motors. Supplied with 3 longer screws for mounting to the motor plate and the centre standoff. CRC have also introduced their True-all tire truer adapter, suitable for 12th, 10th, & TC. Fitting most automatic tire truers from manufacturers like Hudy, Integy, Ofna, GQ, and more, it features a steel threaded stud that will last much longer than some of the competition’s aluminium threads and the threads are even replaceable. Finally the company has released ceramic engine and clutch bearings, which they claim are far superior to the regular steel pieces that come with the engine. More RPM capability than the steel counterparts and the ceramic balls reduce rotating mass and friction.

CRC Gen-X 10 upgrades & Flex wires

Team CRC have released a number of new items including some Gen-X 10 upgrades, Ultraflex wire and Super soft sensor cables. The Gen-X 10 upgrades include this optional wide body mount set that allows you to better mount the “hot” World GT bodies like the Protoform Corvette and Sophia by setting the posts much wider allowing them to avoid coming through the cockpit. Also new is a front stiffener plate, which is made from 2mm carbon fibre, and helps stabilize the car, reducing the tendency to traction roll on high grip tracks. Finally CRC have new softer, more flexible, Ultraflex 16 gauge wire for 1:12th and 1:10th pan cars as well as new super soft brushless sensor wires that are available in 3 different lengths.
