RPM Blitz rear bearing carriers

RPM Products have release rear bearing carriers for the HPI Blitz & Blitz ESE. To improve the overall stength of this area, they gave the part a bearing overhaul. The stock bearings are a 5x10mm design, which they claim is not strong enough for racer’s demands, so these new RPM carriers use a 5x11mm bearing, doubling the dynamic load rating from 44kgf to 73kgf. Made from RPM’s bulletproof blend of super strong nylons, they are factory backed with the company’s industry renowned breakage warranty.

T.O.P. Photon LiPo chassis conversion

T.O.P. Racing have released an optional LiPo chassis conversion set for the Photon. The new chassis plate is available in 3 versions, standard, stiff & super stiff and has eliminated the motor recess area and Sub-C battery slots meaning its stronger and the chassis flex has also been optimised. The new plate also allows the flipping of the front and rear belts to allow the placement of the electronics more towards the battery side, so the car could be balanced with a total weight as low as 1,350g. A new aluminium battery mounting, positioning and balancing system allows for 2 LiPo mounting positions for the center guide and the aluminum alloy outer guides and allows for independent fine adjustments of left/right & front/rear positions to optimize weight balancing and at the same time allows for a snug fit of any popular LiPo battery with simple alloy spacers.
