Exotek roll out new B6.1 series option parts

Coming from Exotek are three new option parts for Team Associated B6.1-based buggies and trucks. First up is a lightweight aluminium motor plate for vehicles using the laydown or layback transmission. The stealthy 2-colour anodised 7075 motor heatsink plate sports a polished black base with blue chamfered accents that go with stock plastic parts or after market blue parts. The black motor plate helps reduce motor temps while the built-in gear cover is stronger than the stock plastic cover to insure that the body does not press the cover onto the spur gear in hard tumbles. Also, the alloy material is kept in place around the motor and bolt screws to resist excess motor plate flex or bending but machined out elsewhere to reduce its weight to 12g. Lastly, the backside spacers are machined into the plate to provide more secure mounting to the gearbox. The plate is usable for the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 vehicles.

RC Maker carbon charger & power supply stand

New from RC Maker is a simple and versatile carbon fibre charger and power supply stand. It features a slot together, compact footprint and is constructed from high quality 3mm carbon fibre. The stand itself is very sturdy, and made sturdier by holding the power supply underneath, which stabilises the whole unit. Increasing the room on your pit table, it also allows for more ventilation for the charger and power supply, allowing them to run cooler and more efficient. It sports two different width settings to house the smallest chargers – such as the iCharger X6 – right through to the bigger range of iChargers and other brands.

Mon-Tech F18 formula body shell

After its debut at the recent 2018 IFMAR ISTC World Championship and Formula World Cup, Italian company Mon-Tech have officially revealed their all-new F18 formula body shell. Successfully used by winner, Jan Ratheisky, runner-up Dominic Quek and 4th placed Martin Hudy the body was developed to be lighter yet offer even higher performance thanks to optional side dams that not only look realistic but help to guide the air towards the rear wing better. The “underfloor” extends forwards the front suspension which further helps with aerodynamic efficiency, making the body pretty unique. The shell fits most 1/10th scale formula cars and it comes clear including add-on side dams.
