Pro-Line Micron 1/10th buggy rear tyres

Coming soon from Pro-Line Racing is the Micron 1/10th rear buggy tyre. The tread is basically a lower pin option of the Electron with whom it shares the connected tread technology with an emphasis on creating as many forward facing edges as possible for maximum forward grip. The unique centre tread zig zags back and forth for both forward and side bite while maintaining good wear given the low tread height. The Micron is available in M4 super soft and MC clay compound including blue closed cell inserts.

Reflex Racing RR12V2 1/12th scale pan car kit

Following the recent introduction of the RSD RR12V2 conversion kit, Reflex Racing now also released information on the RR12V2 full kit. The car is based on a new chassis made of 2.3mm quasi weave carbon fibre for improved stiffness, a lower weight and a lower centre of gravity. An updated pod geometry with the pivot 2mm further forward provides more corner speed and less lift while allowing for more aggressive settings. Also new is the battery securing systems that provides tape-less transverse of inline mounting of the 1S pack. Another new feature is a revised side spring placement with optional, more in board positions to aid in a softer roll control for high bite conditions. Lastly, the new front end is Reflex Racing’s icing on the cake. A new, light weight double A-arm front end is included in the kit. This system is incorporating a suspension system that is 10 to 15g lighter than the traditional AE front ends, it is easier to adjust and versatile enough to run as a double A-arm or traditional reverse McPherson strut. The car will be offered in two trims, as full kit minus electronics, wheels, tires, servo saver and fluids and also as full conversion including RSD front end. The latter needs a donor car for diff, tubes, shock, and ball ends.

Exotek DEX210 rear bulkhead & suspension hangers

Exotek Racing have new aluminium option parts for the Team Durango 210-series 2WD vehicles in mid motor configuration available. First up is a rear bulkhead conversion made of high-strength 7075 aluminium and machined down to minimise weight. The part provides standard width but lowered inner camber link mounting points for improved high roll centre options. Also gear box access and removal is much easier as the suspension stays fully in place when the gear box is removed. The stronger inner ball end mounting makes for more durable camber link mounting and the design also reinforces the gear box mounting. The part, that fits all versions of the DEX210, DESC210 and DEST210, uses stock Team Durango type 2 or Exotek type 2 rear suspension hangers and included come spacers and hardware. The conversion is recommended for experienced modellers as it requires hand-cutting of the original gear box.
