HRC Distribution have introduced the new HRC Racing TSW Pro Racing universal fan mount for 1/10th scale vehicles. The clamping design fan mount is constructed from CNC machined aluminium and thanks to its design it can take up to two fans at multiple angles.

Coming from Trinity is the new Monster Max brushless stock motor. Building on the proven Monster Horsepower motor the Monster Max features the TEP1112 high-torque rotor, a newly designed low-resistance stator, it has the red insulators removed for lower resistance and increased airflow and black thermal epoxy makes for better heat dissipation which leads to a lot less fading of the motor over the run. The ROAR approved power plant is available in 13.5T, 17.5T and 21.5T variants.

JConcepts make it easy to add some luster to the Tribute wheels with the machined aluminium and black anodised planetary caps. The JConcepts wheels include plastic caps which are always the same colour of the wheels. The aluminium options are now available with the same details but sport the most popular colour and finish for the true RC monster truck fanatic. The caps feature a stepped design with detail on each level to match even the most scale and realistic parts available. The 6-hole bolt pattern fits like a glove between the geometry and the cap fastens to the wheels using the stock hardware from the Tribute wheels package.

Coming from 4theTop and made for Xray’s XB8 2017 buggy is a carbon fibre brake conversion kit. It includes a ball-raced carbon fibre centre differential plate for better and more consistent braking as well as a set of carbon fibre brake discs. Their design in combination with the material used will make for less centre diff fading as the diff case and thus the diff oil will stay cooler even during long finals, resulting in improved overall performance. On top of this will the brake action fade less, again making for a more consistent car over the run.

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new C and D aluminium arm mounts for the Team Associated B6 and B6D 2WD buggies. The suspension hangers are direct replacements for the kit’s aluminium C and composite D parts and they add valuable toughness especially when running in demanding track conditions or when competing in modified classes. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and coming in either black or blue anodising the parts also add visual impact. With their lightweight yet sturdy construction the mounts, which are available separately, hardly add any weight meaning the buggy’s weight bias does not change and they are a direct fit on both the B6 and B6D when using Team Associated’s #92014 suspension inserts.
