Xray X4F’24 Graphite Upper Deck 2.0mm

Xray has released a new optional 2.0 Graphite Upper Deck 2.0mm for its X4F’24 FWD Touring Car.  The one piece Multi-Flex top deck has a narrow shape for easier installation, improved handling characteristics and features 8 different flex options.  The one piece top deck offers increased flex which makes the car softer.  Suggested especially for low traction conditions where it removes a bit of initial steering but generates more traction.  The top deck can be cut to provide more different flex set-up options.  The machined ultra-precise top deck screws ensure the top deck is mounted completely tweak-free to improve the flex characteristics.  Machined from 2.0mm graphite material, the shape of the top deck has been specifically designed to achieve maximum traction and great steering characteristics at the same time.

ARC A10MF-24 FWD Touring Car

ARC has released their latest front wheel drive competition car for the popular 1:10 Touring Car category, the A10MF-24.  The Taiwanese brand describe the car as featuring a revolutionary design with fine-tuned weight distribution that delivers better handling, improved acceleration and lower lap times.  The chassis has an all-new weight distribution methodology with the kit coming with four newly designed brass weights: A 60g weight for the bumper which is the main weight for the A10MF-24.  Two 30g weights adjacent to the bulkheads to increase weight below the front drive shafts. 25g below the diff which can be used to fine-tune overall front weight distribution. When the traction is higher less front weight is required.  With the battery in the forward position, this new brass weight system results in a F/R weight distribution of 65%/35%.  Compared to A10MF, the A10MF-24 has 10% more weight over the front wheels.  There is also an all-new steering servo and battery layout.  The steering servo on the A10MF-24 has been shifted from the right side to the left side, allowing the battery to move further forward for improved weight balance.  The result is a battery position that is 24 mm further forward compared to the A10MF. This  further increases overall weight over the front wheels for greater and forward traction.

Wild Turbo Fan MILF 35 Full metal fan

Wild Turbo Fan has announce another industry-leading RC cooling fan, the MILF 35 (Metallic Intelligent Luxury Fan 35mm).  It features the industry’s first full metal cooling fan for the RC industry, meaning even the fan blade is made of metal, with each piece made by a 5-axial CNC machine with 30 minutes of process time to achieve perfection.  This fan has two special features that uniquely belong to WTF, first is reverse polarity protection, and second is dead stop protection, which will prevent the fans to fail electronically even further.  With both blade and frame precisely CNC made with a total processing time of 1 hour machine time, in addition, each CNC fan blade is precisely balanced, so the fan blade itself is an art piece on its own.  This fan is made to a 35mm custom size. The 35mm size is carefully selected as this is the diameter of most 540-size motors so this will give the best coverage of cooling air.  The counter-directional exit fins will also provide an improved air pattern to help cool further.

Infinity IF18-2 updated parts

World Championship manufacturer Infinity has introduced a number of new updated parts for its IF18-2 1:8 Onroad chassis. First of these is a long upper rear suspension upper arm set. By extending the upper arm ball end boss by 3.5mm, the upper arm can be lengthened without any difficulty. The hole in the upper arm itself, which is combined with the upper arm, is also deeper, so it can be used in its shortest setting. It is now possible to use this part for wide range of settings. Another part improvement is the new SS 1st Gear Housing. The SS version is more durable than previous gear housings due to a review of the manufacturing process, including the shape and materials used. As the name SS standing for Strong Support suggests, the spur gear support is increased, minimising the chance of stripping gears.
