Rebellion-RC TC7.2 MM aluminium main chassis plates

Following first teaser images RC-Carbonstore from Austria have announced the soon release of their new Alu-Crossflex and Alu-Solid aluminium main chassis plates for their Team Associated TC7.2 MM Mid Motor conversion kit. The patent-pending Alu-Crossflex chassis was developed for the use in medium to high-bite traction conditions with its highly machined design allowing optimised flex characteristics that can be greatly influenced with the use of up to twelve optional brass inserts that not only add up to 47.9g of weight in the lowest area of the chassis, but they can also be used to change the overall torsional flex characteristics. The idea was to become able to adjust the weight-balance as well as the flex individually with every insert by using different fixing positions without the need of changing the whole chassis; with a standard chassis being always hard front/rear or soft front/rear, but not hard front/soft rear. When the brass inserts are fixed at a 90 degree angle to the driving direction they almost have no influence to the flex, but if attached using the remaining – cross-positioned – mounting points, the inserts decrease the flex. To make the system work the fixing points for the “hard” setting are 0,3mm lowered to make for a free movement at “flex” setting, and when using the “hard” setting drivers need to insert the included 0,3mm shims to be able to access the desired “hard” flex settings. Both the Crossflex and the standard full face Solid chassis, for high to very high bite conditions, are machined from high-quality aluminium, they come black anodised for wear and looks, feature a laser-engraved Rebellion-RC logo and they are of a conical shape, ensuring increased ground clearance and less chassis scrubbing during hard cornering. The chassis and the optional brass weight inserts are available for pre-order now and will ship from the 30th of September. Beside the TC7.2 MM main plate Rebellion-RC will soon release alloy chassis for their other MM Mid Motor conversion kits.

Reds Racing 721 Corsa nitro off-road engine

Reds Racing have introduced a their new S Line nitro off-road engine, the 721 Corsa. The 3.5cc 7-ports power plant is based on the S Line 721 Scuderia engine and the main focus was to release an engine similar to 721 Scuderia but at a more reasonable price. Both engines feature high reliability, tuning stability and great fuel mileage which was achieved by using new materials for the piston, sleeve and crankcase in order to optimise thermal expansion and power. The Corsa comes equipped with a precision machined, balanced steel crankshaft, steel bearings and a polished aluminium endplate and it will hit stores very soon.

Spektrum Smart S1500 DC charger

Coming soon from Spektrum is the Smart S1500 DC 500W DC multi-chemistry charger. Compact enough to carry in a pocket or field bag the charger’s improved, extra-precise scroll wheel interface simplifies setup. When used with Spektrum Smart LiPo batteries having IC3 or IC5 connectors, the device also uploads specific parameters and health data from the battery’s integrated memory chip and displays it on the bright LCD screen for review — giving drivers the information they need to evaluate the packs and make the best charging decisions. For input power the charger uses compatible DC power sources with the included IC3 power cable adapter. The S1500 also has a USB port, a software update port, plus a safety timer and protection against heat, reverse polarity, short circuit, over-current, and low input voltage.
