Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is an aluminium centre pivot plate for the Serpent SF4 formula pan car. Machined from high-quality aluminium for a low weight and exceptional durability the black anodised plate is a direct replacement for the standard part that can crack or break in heavy hits. The black anodised surface makes for cool factory looks while offering added surface protection.
The A2 Tactic body for the popular Kyosho Ultima RB7 is the next addition of 2WD bodies from Leadfinger Racing for 2019. Like the A2 Tactic bodies before it, the RB7 body has an added roof vent that allows for better cooling for today’s sensitive electronics. Running cooler has its advantages and feeding cool air directly over the power house is a welcomed upgrade. Behind that, LFR has designed a top fin that joins into a rear swoop for added stability and increased rear down force. The combination of the two help give the Kyosho Ultima RB7 a balanced and precise feel during mid corner rotation and on power exit. The body comes in clear polycarbonate ready for paint and including two pre-cut Tactic wings, stickers and window masks.

Xray have announced the release of new anti-roll bar wires for their NT1 nitro touring car.

RedWorks from France have introduced new carbon fibre optionals for the Xray XT2 and XB4 kits. First up are front and rear shock towers for the XT2 truck. The parts are of an updated design that is both stronger and also cooler looking thanks to several machined sections and a heavy chamfer that ensures greater durability. The front and rear tower are available separately. Also new is a 2mm gearbox and suspension spacer for the XT2 and XB2 that raised both the gearbox and suspension which comes in handy especially when running with low ride heights and in high-grip conditions. Last but not least is a carbon fibre top plate for the XB4 4WD buggy that connects the front gearbox and the steering posts. Like the shock towers the top plate features heavy machining for looks and durability.
Xpress have released first renderings of their forthcoming new mid-motor conversion kit for the Execute XQ1 touring car. A design that is gaining popularity recently, the motor will be placed more towards the centre of the chassis with the optimised weight bias and equal length drive belts making for improved acceleration and more stable cornering. Full details will become available at a later stage.
T-Works have introduced two new screw sets for the Serpent 750 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road kit. Available now are a 134-piece UFO head titanium and a 174-piece gold-colored steel screw kit with the titanium kit helping to lower the car’s overall weight while the gold-colored fasteners mainly add bling and corrosion resistance.

RC-Carbonstore have introduced their new Rebellion-RC carbon fibre and aluminium optionals for the Serpent SF4 formula car. First up is the symmetrical main chassis plate that ensures equal left-to-right flex characteristics. Also new is an upper deck with the MST multi sidetone position feature that allows to shift the side tubes forth and back to fine-tune their damping action. Next up are carbon fibre side plates with 2mm higher cutouts and spacer plates for raised side bearing positions – again an option to fine-tune the car’s geometry. Also new is a wing holder option for an up to 20mm forward-shifted wing position, optimising the car’s aerodynamics and weight bias. Last but not least come front swing arms in -7.5mm (SF3 standard), -5mm, -2.5mm, 0mm (SF4 standard) and +2.5mm offset to adjust the front track width as well as the Xray gear diff conversion whose redesigned Wing-to-Chassis mount makes way for the wide gear diff assembly. As usual with Rebellion-RC all carbon fibre parts are available in a large variety of carbon fibre weave colours in order to personalise your ride.
