Coming from Muchmore are two new Impact Linear FD2 series 14.8V 4S LiPo battery packs with XT60 connectors for 1/8th scale applications. First up is a 6500mAh variant that measures 138x47x47.5mm and weighs in at 545g. It is built using 100C cells and comes pre-wired with XT60 power and XH balance connectors. Also new is a low-profile 5200mAh pack that measures 138×46.5×36.mm at a weight of 452g. Using the smaller capacity pack will kill some runtime but the lower centre of gravity comes in handy especially on higher grip tracks. Like the 6500mAh battery it comes pre-wired with an XT60 power and XH balance connector.

Samix Enduro brass differential cover

Samix have introduced their new brass differential cover for the Element RC Enduro trail trucks. Machined from heavy brass material the cover adds 31g of weight to one of the lowest areas of the truck, which will lower the overall centre of gravity while adding traction and helping with climbing performance. In addition the metal part, that replaces the standard composite cover, will add strength and durability. The cover comes black coated for corrosion prevention and looks and it is usable on the front and rear axle housings.

Capricorn LAB P12 Evo International front end kit

Coming from Capricorn is a new front end for their 1/12th scale chassis that can also be used across other platforms. Composed of a hybrid setup with a carbon lower arms and composite upper arms, the set will make for a stiffer front end which has proven to perform a lot better in high traction conditions. The carbon lower arm is also more accurate compared to a moulded arm and will not twist in the event of a crash. In addition the design allows the use of optional lower arms, resulting in a more precise setup for different track conditions. The fixing points of the lower arms to the chassis are of a 38.5mm spacing so the front end will be a direct bolt to most other 1/12th chassis also.
