Muchmore LED pit light stand Pro

Coming from Muchmore is the new LED pit light stand Pro. The foldable heavy duty pit lamp utilises a sturdy lighting arm than can be rotated at a 60 degree angle per side while the whole construction of the lamp is so tough that you can eve place heavy touring car or 1/8th truggy body shells on it. Four buttons take control of the lamp with the LED light being brightness adjustable while also offering selectable cold, warm or natural light temperature, making for eye-pleasing wrenching in whatever ambient lighting conditions. On top of this allows a 5V/1A USB output to charge or power mobile devises such as smart phones. The lamp is powered by an external 11VDC to 15VDC power source and it will hit stores very soon.

JConcepts Slash/Stampede 4×4 suspension conversion

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 and Stampede 4×4 is a suspension conversion kit. The upgrade includes carbon fibre front and rear shock towers, aluminium shock stand-offs, body mount adaptors and aluminium caster blocks. Using this combination of parts along with other optional parts allows to convert the stock trucks into high performance vehicles. The 4mm long-stroke front shock tower has been designed to use a longer Traxxas shock for better shock geometry in rugged conditions. The carbon material improves response of the suspension and provides a stable setting for the included aluminium body mount adaptor. The rear tower, also in 4mm material, utilises the stock geometry but with the addition of carbon fibre and precise machining, tightens up the feel of the rear suspension. The included aluminium shock stand-offs position the shocks at an advantageous angle and allows the shocks to work as designed.

Capricorn C803 aluminium servo arm

Capricorn have introduced a new aluminium servo arm for the C803 1/8th on-road car. The fixed length arm does away with the possibility to adjust the inner steering link ball stud positions in favour of tried and tested settings yet it is still possible to move the ball studs closer or further apart and therefore changing the Ackermann angle by changing the inserts.

RDRP XB2 brass RF & RR suspension mounts

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products are the new brass RF and RR suspension mounts for the Xray XB2 series of cars. They are a direct replacement for the kit’s lightweight parts and add valuable weight especially when running in low-traction conditions or when the track is getting bumpier. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the parts weigh in at 12g (RF) and 15g (RR) which shifts the weight bias further back for improved traction and a more planted ride when running on bumpy tracks. The RF and RR suspension mounts fit all XB2 series cars and trucks except for the XB2D’17, they are available separately and can be used together or in a mix with the standard mounts to achieve the desired weight bias and driving feel.
