Core RC 1/10th off-road big bore springs

Schumacher have introduced the new Core RC big bore springs for 1/10th off-road buggies. The high-quality progressive springs allow the car to float over bumps but not roll too much during cornering and the consistent wire diameter means that the characteristics of each spring is similar, giving a consistent performance across the range. The stiffness increment between springs is very small, allowing fine adjustment of the suspension. Available now are the medium “orange” 4.3lbs and “yellow” 4.6lbs springs and to enable the big bore springs to be used on small bore shocks Schumacher have release two optional converters for the top of the spring, enabling better seating. The bottom of the spring fits regular small bore shock bottoms.

West Coast R/C Works X12 servo mounting plates

West Coast R/C Works have introduced their new servo mounting plates for the Xray X12’15 and newer. The plate is available in two versions, one is compatible with the Futaba S9650/S9670 and the other with Sanwa SRG-HR/HS servos. The servo mounting plates are designed as a direct replacement of the original part. The mounting holes of the servo will align the servo spline in the middle of the chassis. This will result in a faster servo positioning during the build and a more precise, and consistent setup. Furthermore, the servo will not move during a race and this will lead to a more consistent feeling and lower the risk of a DNF.
