Bittydesign Jota 1/7 GT body shell for Felony

Bittydesign have released their second body shell for Arrma on-road cars. After the success of the very first model ‘Seven65’ launched a year ago, today they introduce the ‘Jota’ for the Felony 1/7 scale chassis. Making reference to a famous Italian supercar, they took inspiration to design the lines of the Jota body shell adapted to the production needs, the phase of refinement took several months to optimise every detail. Jota is a stunning looking GT body designed to push your 1/7 model to the limit, whether you want to test top speed on the straight or drifting with your rc mate in the parking lot behind your house. Made with high quality and genuine 1.5mm polycarbonate Lexan, the kit includes a complete set of screw, nuts and large plastic washers to fix properly the rear wing and the front splitter.

Avid Titanium M3X8 clutch screw

Avid’s new clutch screw is made from the highest quality 6AL-4V Titanium and is packed with a ton of cool features. The most obvious is the large flange to help keep out any fuel or debris from entering your clutch bearing. The second most obvious feature is that you can use a 5.5mm nut wrench or a 2.5mm Allen wrench to install and remove. Lastly, on the backside, they have added a small recess so the screw will never drag on your bearing seal/shield.

Arrowmax 4D setup system for 1/8 on-road

Arrowmax’s all-new 4D setup system will be available for the 8th scale on-road classes. The Set-Up System allows you to measure and adjust camber, caster, toe-in/out, track width and steering angle symmetry with high precision. It is a hassle when racers have to remove the rear end of their body post in order to check the toe-in of their 8th scale on-road cars. With that in mind, we have decided to innovate a completely new system and design to allow users to enjoy a smoother operation throughout their setup process. Another key element they have added is for users to measure the track width using the 4D setup system. The built-in ruler allows user to check the distance between the hexes, resulting in a much better understanding of their car setup. The reading of toe-in/out are now measured on the laser-engraved 7075 CNC body without the long and bulky acrylic plate. Giving a much precise measurement. The whole system is very small, light, and are designed with a purpose to improve the quality of life. Storage and transportation becomes less of a hassle.

Avid titanium lower shock mounts

Avid’s titanium lower shock mounts for 10th scale vehicles make it easy for getting your shocks off and on while not wearing out the plastic from repeated uses. The one design feature we added to this common product is the 6 small holes in each mount. They are not there to lose weight but rather to help keep the mount from backing out as easily when taking the nut off the end, acting as a bit of a serration. Machined from billet 6Al-4V Titanium, they have a 1.5mm Allen head for installation. Each package includes (2) lower shock mount screws and (2) aluminium M3 flanged locknuts.

Fenix Racing pan car gear differential Mk2

Fenix Racing have introduced their new pan car gear differential Mk2. With their original gear diff released back in 2016 it was about time for an update version. It sports a completely new right hub, with the main bearings distance almost doubled, to ensure better trueness, while the inner bearing is now flanged, promoting the orthogonality of the assembly. They add a massive thrust bearing to the diff, because since 2016 motors have improved as well and they want to also be future proof. Gears stay the same as does the grade 5 Titanium axle, with a carbon fibre version to follow.
