RC Maker Digital Camber, Toe & Caster setup gauges

New from RC Maker are an industry first line of digital setup gauges for 1/10th EP and GP Touring Cars. The first introductions to the line are two digital gauges, one for conventional touring cars which digitally measures camber and rear toe. This is currently being debuted by Ronald Volker and Yukijiro Umino at IIC in Las Vegas. The second is for Awesomatix Touring Cars which digitally measures the front and rear caster. Consisting of an Aluminium and Carbon Fibre construction, they are built to very tight tolerances accurate to within 0.01 degrees over a 4-degree range. This ensures precise and replicable camber, toe and caster adjustments. The gauge itself features a backlit screen with big numbers for easy viewing in day and night, as well as “auto off” and “zero” functions to be able to zero to your setup board surface no matter what angle it’s on. It also features very easily replaceable AAA batteries and comes with a velvet storage pouch to keep it looking and functioning like new.

RC Concept Omega HV LiPo batteries

RC Concept have announce these new Omega HV LiPo batteries which have a higher nominal voltage (3.8V vs 3.7V) and can be charged up to 4.35V/Cell.

With the HV LiPo batteries, the discharge curve is flatter, meaning the cells maintain higher voltage throughout the discharge cycle, without significant drop off. Available in stick pack HV 8000Mah 120C and shorty pack HV 4800Mah 120C versions.

RDRP B64 Aluminium Steering Bellcrank set

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products is their new aluminium steering bellcrank set for the Team Associated B64 1/10th 4WD buggy. The set is a direct replacement for the standard composite parts, machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes blue or black anodised. Using the alloy steering bellcranks over the standard parts adds much needed precision to the steering system while also greatly improving overall durability. The increased overall rigidity will also help with steering emphasis, enhancing the steering feeling especially in high-bite track conditions.
