X Factory have announced new front axles to fit both the X-6 Squared and the RC10B4. B4s are sold with steel front trailing axles that secure the wheel with a nut. The nut protrudes from the front wheel and can catch on things. The new X Factory trailing front axles are hardened steel so they won’t break and secure the wheel with a button head screw. Made for X Factory by M.I.P., the new axles are completely drilled through the center so they each weigh just 1 gram more than the aluminum FT axle. The package contains two axles and four button head screws, X Factory’s axles are secured in the car with a screw instead of an E-clip, so each pack contains everything needed for both sides of the car.

Schumacher have announced this new Core RC UDC30 Universal digital charger. Following on from the hugely successful UDC20 this is a rapid charger with high performance microprocessor and specialized operating software for multifunctional operation. The UDC30 employs an individual cell voltage balancer meaning that no external balancer is required and during the process of discharging, the UDC30 can monitor and balance each cell individually. Adaptable to various types of Lithium batteries, including LiPo, Li-ion and the new LiFe battery, it sports normal ‘Fast’ charge which reduces the duration of charging and also automatic ‘Store’ mode which can be used to store the battery if not in use for a long time to protect the life of the battery. A huge range of leads are included and a separate 240/12v power supply is also available.
