Sanwa Exzes-Z stick-radio set

Sanwa have released the Exzes-Z, the stick version of the M12 and the successor to the popular Exzes-X. The new system claims to feature super high speed response with next to zero latency for the ultimate driving feel and also allows you to program the D/R settings to allow you to change trim or a curve in an instant to react to the changing conditions. The transmitter has also been made significantly lighter compared to its predecessor thanks to changes to the radio’s internal structure. Finally, like the M12, the Exzes-Z allows you to integrate a telemetry function to record your throttle and steering inputs and with extra sensors to recorder the RPM, voltage, temperature and further inputs.

Smokem Racing 417LX steering arms

Smokem Racing has just released their new 417LX steering arms. These 417LX steering arms are 2mm longer than those found standard on the TRF417 line of electric tourers. The extra length in these steering arms translates to a longer swing radius. Not only does this provide increased steering throw, it also gives a more linear steering response for superior driving feel. The 417LX steering arms come pre-fitted with metal-shielded ball bearings for an ultra smooth response. They suit all of Tamiya’s TRF417 and TRF416 lines of electric touring cars.
