Kyosho MP9 & GT3 hard rear hub carrier set

Kyosho have introduced an optional hard rear hub carrier set for the MP9 and GT3 series of cars. The hubs are moulded from a harder composite material than the standard parts for increased stability and less flex under load, something that can be beneficial and create increased traction when running on very high grip surfaces.

Xray X1’18 2.0mm carbon fibre chassis plate

Made for the 2018 variant of their successful X1 1/10th formula pan car platform is Xray’s new 2.0mm carbon fibre chassis. Thinner than the standard 2.5mm chassis, the 2.0mm variant is best used on low to medium grip asphalt tracks as it offers more flex which results in increased rear traction.

Reedy Sonic 866 & 877 1/8th brushless motors

Coming from Reedy are two new Sonic-series 1/8th scale competition electric brushless motors in the form of the 866 and 877. The Sonic 866, available in two kV versions, is designed for 1/8th eBuggies while its slightly longer brother, the Sonic 877, is intended for 1/8th eTruggy duty. However, motors are interchangeable between chassis types to create a wide range of performance options suitable for a wide variety of track conditions. All versions feature a precision machined case with an integrated heat sink to lower operating temperatures. This results in less fade over the course of a race, longer run times, and increased motor life. Sensored operation results in a smooth and controllable power band, while a powerful 4-pole rotor is supported by precision ball bearings for maximum power output and reliability.
