Infinity pit mat & parts cases

Some new items from Creation Model starting with their popular Infinity Pit mat that has been redesigned. Made from a durable neoprene front complete with Infinity logo and the back of a non-slip rubber, its thickness and weight make it perfect for use in an indoor or outdoor pit area while remaining easy to fold for transportation. There are also three new parts cases with a variety of internal storage solutions. Firstly there is a parts case that contains two plastic cases with lids (outer dimensions 82x70x21mm). The convenient size is perfect for storing aluminium parts and small parts for making setup adjustments. Since each case has a lid, it is also possible to store small screws and washers. Next is a parts case that contains four plastic trays (outer dimensions 41x77x22mm) which is great for storing turnbuckles, rod ends, shocks, aluminium parts, etc. And finally is the parts case set that consists of two parts cases and a hard outer case. Convenient for storing spare parts such as option parts while leaving some space for bigger items.

Rêve D AS-01 competition drift tire

Rêve D have announced the release of their first original drift tire, the AS-01. Suitable for any competitive environment, the material selected is a HDPE compound, which is ideal for the RC drift scene in longevity vs grip. By applying a matte finish to the contact surface and sidewalls, they have a stable performance straight from the packet. The Rêve D development team have done repeated testing to find the balance between high control and performance and not only on P tile and coloured concrete, but also on asphalt and carpet track surfaces. When fitted to the rear, they have optimised control over the lateral grip during drifting to a higher limit and enabled the driver to challenge deeper and longer angles.

Bittydesign Seven65 body for Arrma 1/7th scale cars

Bittydesign have released this Seven65 body shell for the 1/7th scale Arrma Infraction/Limitless cars.

Made with high quality and genuine 1.5mm thick polycarbonate Lexan, it is sold clear with protective film outside and comes with a pre-cut decal sheet and windows masks and the kit includes a complete set of screws, nuts and large plastic washers to properly fix the rear wing.

From Xray, this unique Active Differential is a high-performance, adjustable rear gear differential for the XB2 that vastly improves the buggy’s speed and handling characteristics.
