Avid introduce the Triad 17mm lightweight wheel nuts for 1/8th off-road and GT vehicles. The unique design utilises only 3 corners of the nut instead of 6 to give the nut its light weight, around 0.96g per piece, while also protecting the laser etched Avid “A’s” from being worn off like popular closed nuts. The serrated design keeps them in place securely and the nuts are available in 4-piece packs in black, red, blue or hard anodising colour.

Coming this July is Novak’s new 4PHD 4-pole electric brushless motor for 4WD short course trucks. The motor is developed specifically for the high power demands and extreme running conditions seen by today’s popular 4WD short course racing and extreme bashing. Measuring 35.9×66.5mm, the sensored motor packs the punch of larger 550-size, 2-pole motors, and offers drivers the instantaneous throttle response achieved by 4-pole motors. The 4PHD is available in a 4600 kV rating, has an ultra-duty Neodymium rotor that is Kevlar-wrapped and rides on high-RPM ABEC 5 ball bearings. The 4PHD will become available separately or as combo including Novak’s recently updated Crusher speed controller.

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce the aluminium front suspension block for all Kyosho RB6 based vehicles. Design to replace the kit’s plastic bulkhead with a more durable and more precise part, the block is machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes black anodised for a stealthy look. Just like the original plastic part, the alloy block allows to adjust the front wishbone kick-up to 25 degree or 30 degree in order to alter the car’s front end grip. On top of that the alloy material greatly improve the robustness of the front end while the precise manufacturing adds to the overall appearance. The part fits all RB6 buggies as well as the RT6 stadium truck and SC6 short course kit.

Speed Passion introduce their latest competition electric brushless motor called the V4.0. Based on the experience gained with the V1.0 to V3.0 series, that won multiple titles including World and European Championships, the 4.0 features a completely new design with an updated can, newly designed front and rear endbells as well as severely other refinements. Different from its predecessors the new motor makes use of bullet-type connectors for the speedo wires whereas the previous versions had the bullet-type connectors mounted into the endbell. The design allows for the use of connectors or direct soldering of the wires for even more efficiency. The motor also offers a new endbell timing system and we understand that it will come in “modified” winding options first.
