Maclan Racing MR8.2 1/8 sensored brushless motor

Maclan Racing have announced the new MR8.2 1/8 brushless series of motors. The MR8.2’s new design is set to deliver balanced power and smoothness thanks to a combination of a 12-slot stator with a strong, staggered 4-pole, 8-magnet rotor that is constructed to be smooth and powerful while increasing durability. An all-new error-free sensor unit design with separate sensor magnet will minimise the signal noise the often can damage speed controllers. The series will include 1500kv, 1950kv, and 2150kv buggy style motors as well as a dedicated 2100kv truggy variant.

TLR 22 4.0 Stiffezel 12mm hex front wheels

Team Losi Racing have introduced new Stiffezel 12mm hex front wheels for the 22 4.0 2WD buggy. Marked with an “S” inside of the wheels, they have been moulded from stiffer composite, which allows the wheel to flex less under higher load. During testing, the team has found these wheels to create more consistency high speed, while adding more steering in longer, high load turns. The wheels fit all 22 buggies with 12mm hexes and they are available in yellow and white colour.

RC Prostyle X1 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis

Coming from RC Prostyle is a 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis set for the Xray X1 formula car. Constructed from high-grade U.S. made carbon fibre the chassis was designed especially for asphalt racing in medium to high-grip conditions. The super-narrow design and raised side links increase ground clearance during cornering which results in less scrubbing and improved corner speed. Included come two types of link plates, one for the standard Xray links and one for shorter 65mm links such as the ones used by Roche or Yokomo – using the shorter links will help gain on-power steering. Included in the set are the chassis, rear pod plate, side link plates as well as mounting hardware.
