RDRP B64 carbon servo mount plate & battery plate

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced two new carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated B64 4WD buggy in the form of a servo mount plate and a battery plate. Starting with the servo mount plate, the part is cut from high-quality carbon fibre and it is a direct replacement for the standard kit part. Designed to improve overall looks by doing away with the often unneeded antenna mount in favour of a clean looking part, the plate features machined pockets that further add to the visual impact of the buggy. The plate is a direct fit on the B64 and B64D buggies.

Reflex Racing RSD TC7.1 pitch control system

Reflex Racing have introduced the pitch control system for the Team Associated TC7.1 touring car. It is designed to increase fore and aft chassis rigidity while maintaining the same side to side flex on the chassis by tying the steering servo mount with the motor mount via a centre tie rod. The result is more forward bite and a more precise handling. Both the motor and servo mount are cut from black anodised 7075-T6 aluminium and they sport silver edge details for looks with the motor mount utilising a lowered layshaft position by 1.5mm in order to lower the gyroscopic forces of the spur gear and layshaft for quicker direction changes. The servo mount has a third screw on the carbon fibre upper plate for better securing and precision of the servo mounting and integrated screw holes in the motor and servo mounts allow the use of screws for centre battery stops. Additional lower motor mount securing screw positions make for more flex tuning options when used with the forthcoming optional RSD chassis and an increased motor adjustment range allows the use with smaller pinion and Spur combinations.

Xray XB2 & XT2 narrow brass rear suspension mounts

Coming from Xray and made for the XB2 and XT2 kits are narrow brass rear suspension mounts. The narrow design increased the vehicle’s rear chassis roll which can be beneficial to find more traction on low grip surfaces. The added weight of the machined brass parts further adds stability and traction and the parts use the original I.S.S. suspension inserts for quick and easy suspension geometry changes. The suspension hangers are available separately as RF and RR parts.

West Coast R/C Works servo setup tools

West Coast R/C Works have announced their new product line of servo setup tools for touring and pan cars. The tools are designed to offer much greater accuracy when aligning the car’s servo horn or servo saver compared to the standard “eye balling” method. The 1/8 and 1/10 servo straight edge and pan car servo straight edge tools work together with a protractor or other measuring tools to set the correct servo trim resulting in an increased repeatability of this process. Drivers can also prepare several servos for one R/C car to be used during fast repairs at big events without having to worry that the servo trim needs to be reset. The pan car servo setup system is composed of two pan car servo centring tools and one servo straight edge. The servo setup system contains all necessary parts to install the servo in the centre and set the desired angle, which improves the repeatability of this process.
