Coming from OfficinaRC and made for the Awesomatix A800 touring cars are aluminium bearing housings as a replacement for the standard composite parts. The parts are made in Italy using high-quality Ergal 7075 material with their design ensuring a more free spinning drivetrain due to not pinching the bearing. In addition the hubs are very durable, offering lower wear and great looks.
OfficinaRC have introduced their new top deck screws for the Awesomatix A800 touring car. Precision-machined from ELI-certified aerospace-grade titanium the screws are of exceptional stability, durability and corrosion resistance and they are available from now on.

OfficinaRC have introduced their crash chassis helper for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. The 3-D-printed part was developed to be attached to the front bumper upper brace and it helps to brace the bumper against the front bulkhead in the event of a crash, preventing damage such as bent aluminium or delaminated carbon fibre chassis. The part is a direct fit and available from now on.
OfficinaRC have added 4 new battery plates to their already existing line up. Designed to give a wide range of possible balancing options, they can be used for all categories, both onroad and offroad, thanks to the diverse range of available weights and sizes. The 23g 130mmx34.5mmx0.6mm is designed to be used with a standard measurement battery and can be applied using double-sided tape on the battery or directly on the chassis. The 27g 92mmx34.5mmmx1mm is dedicated to those who want to use shorty batteries on touring, its size allowing you to balance the model using only the supporting surface of the chassis. The 35g (OFC-007) 92mmx46mmx1 has been designed for anyone who needs to add weight to shorty batteries. Particularly suitable for those who use LCG batteries and need weight positioned at the bottom. Excellent for offroad and formula but also suitable for those who want to use these type of batteries in touring. Finally, the 38g (OFC-008) 131mmx34.5mmx1mm is designed to be used with a standard sized battery and can also be applied using double-sided tape on the battery or directly on the chassis.

OfficinaRC have announce the release of their new LCG universal battery plate, designed to get the most out of the new generation of LiPo batteries. With especially LCG batteries becoming lighter, it is often necessary to add weight to the battery side of the chassis in order to achieve a correct 50/50 left to right weight bias. OfficinaRC’s new 0.6mm brass battery plate weighs in at 32g, allowing to add substantial weight without loosing the advantages of LCG battery packs. The plate can be fixed directly to the chassis or battery, using optional ultra thin tape.
Coming from OfficinaRC, a new project of Monaco RC, is the Forza diff hardness tester. The device is meant to be the smallest diff tester to date and it was developed especially for 1/10th and Mini-Z size vehicles. The taster is powered via any USB output and it comes including a 1/10th scale compatible adapter with a Mini-Z-style coupler being available separately. Its design allows to measure diff hardness of both installed and stand alone units and thanks to its compact 86x38x29mm dimensions and the low weight of 85g it is easy to store and transport.
