Donathen RC Titanium Battery Grips

Donathen RC has announced the addition of Titanium Battery Grips to its product line up. They are ideal for adding a “handle” to your 5mm bullet connectors to pull them out easier, reducing strain on the wire (preventing frays and ripped silicone), all while adding some bling to your ride! Weighing just 1.4 grams each, they are extremely light and come in unique colours options. Fitting over 10, 12, 13, 14 awg wire, they are secured with provided titanium set screw. Unique 1.5U gold plating means low resistance and longevity which is nearly 3x thicker than industry standard connectors.

RC Maker X4’24 front bulkhead brace sets

RC Maker, the brand of top Australian racer Ryan Maker, has released two different front bulkhead brace set options for the recently launched Xray X4’24 1:10 Electric Touring Car. The X4’24 by design incorporates a lot of front bulkhead flex. The bulkheads flex together under compression of the suspension, or apart under cornering causing inconsistency in the handling and the inability to tune to different tracks, which can now be minimised with these brand new braces/dampeners. Offered is a rigid flex brace set and a flex dampener set, each features two different thickness of 1mm and 2mm for tuning. They attach to underneath the front caster pills directly and the flex dampener set provide consistent dampening (restriction) in both inwards and outwards directions of the flex either on the bulkheads at the very front while the rigid flex brace removes bulkhead flex in both inwards and outwards directions on the front.
