Xray T4 ECS BB 52mm & 53mm driveshafts

Coming from Xray and made for their T4 line of touring cars are the new ball-raced ECS BB driveshafts. The construction of the driveshafts offers a significant performance gain over the standard blade-type driveshafts as the friction between the driveshaft and the outdrive is greatly reduced thanks to using ball bearings, which helps to give a much smoother handling feel, especially on fast direction changes, such as chicanes. The reduced friction also helps to increase cornering speeds. The driveshafts are available as 52mm variant for smaller, more technical tracks where more initial steering is needed while the longer 53mm driveshafts are best suited for more open and flowing track layouts. They will provide slightly less initial steering, but better steering in the middle of the corner, as well as on power. The BB driveshafts only work with the front solid axle in combination with the optional #305138 outdrives.

Yankee large scale electric pan car kits – Coming soon

Coming soon from French large scale specialists Yankee are the P420 1/4th scale and P520 1/5th scale electric pan car kits. Both are of a simple and efficient design that utilises construction elements known from 1/10th and 1/12th scale pan cars, however thanks to clever engineering the large scale kits are both lightweight and durable, allowing to run them alongside their gas-powered variants. Both chassis offer up to three different wheelbase settings, they utilise a 3-point pod-type rear suspension, a lightweight front suspension and the P420 also allows to use a dual servo steering setup. Other features include module 1.25 and 1.5 gearboxes, aluminium front hubs, and a motor mount that allows to use a range of large-scale-compatible electric brushless motors. The kits will become available as rolling chassis or as combo packages including a body shell.

Kyosho MP10e 1/8th E-buggy kit

Coming soon from Kyosho is their new MP10e 1/8th scale electric buggy kit. Building on the popular MP10 nitro buggy, the electric-powered variant utilises its nitro-sibling’s reliable transmission and proven suspension components with the chassis being specially developed to provide optimised flex and weight distribution. The motor mount allows the use of a range of motor sizes while its position within the chassis ensures best possible weight balance in combination with the new “spread” battery mounting positions. The newly developed layout promised less chassis roll in corners for increased stability, better car control and higher corner speed. In addition, a specially designed receiver box and a screw-secured speed controller mount provide component protection and maintenance efficiency. Other features include aluminium big bore shock absorbers that are both diaphragm and aeration-type compatible and a dedicated body shell makes or a balanced handling and eye-pleasing looks. The buggy is set for a release this June.
