Ultimate Racing 1:8 Offroad Lexan Wing

Spanish brand Ultimate Racing has added this all lexan 1:8 offroad rear wing to its range of accessories. The wing provides more rotation in slow corners while improving stability in fast corners due to its reduced weight. It is made of high quality 1.0mm lexan and while not pre-cut it does come with the lines for easy cutting. Each wing is made up of 2 parts, the main wing and the central part. The central part helps to increase downforce while reinforcing the main wing. Each pack contains two full wings.

ReveD RSD Ceramic Ball Bearing

RC drift specialist brand Rêve D has released RSD ceramic ball bearings for high precision, light weight and low friction at Front Knuckle. Internal dimensions are adjusted to minimise rotational resistance while driving. The white ceramic ball, which has the largest possible ball size, provide excellent wear resistance and high durability. Rolling resistance is reduced by lightweight ceramic balls, and grease-less specifications eliminate the need for grease, which minimises the rotation loss of the front axle, which is important in RWD drift, and realises smooth front tire rotation.

Yokomo Racing Performer BL-RPX3 Competition

Yokomo has announced the arrival of its new flagship Racing Performer BL-RPX3 Competition Speed Controller. The RPX3 surpasses the performance of the previous and well established RPX speed controller. While maintaining the power to reach maximum RPM instantly, Yokomo say the throttle feel has been optimised by smoothing out the RPM rise range, adding controllable characteristics that prevent breakdowns even when power is increased. An auto mode that changes boost in accordance with throttle opening is also included, enabling high-boost driving with a linear image. The boost value can now be increased to a maximum of 75, whereas in the past the upper limit was 60, and instantaneous power has reached a realm far beyond the imagination. A system to change the program in conjunction with a smartphone application is also under development and due for release as soon as it is ready.
