Tekno RC V3 Brushless Kit for AE RC8

Tekno RC have released this brushless kit for the popular Team Associated RC8 buggy. The kit features the first commercially available 1/8th scale electric specific chassis along with Tekno RC’s innovative patent pending Elektri-Clutch system, which allows the racer to tune the power delivery of the hottest brushless motors. The hardened steel clutch bells will last and last because the motor is disengaged from the drive train off power. Claiming to have the lowest CG of any conversion for better handling and unlike other conversions this continues to utilize the cars original braking system meaning this conversion will feel really similar to a gas powered car in terms of power delivery and braking characteristics.

Kyosho Inferno ST-US Sports

Kyosho have announced the release of the Inferno ST-US Sports, which is equipped with all the latest technology such as a 12 model memory, LCD display, digital radio with all the adjustments you would ever want. The drive train rides on all ball bearings and the power from the super powerful GXR28 is transferred through a hardened steel clutch bell and spur gear. The gear boxes have hardened steel spiral cut ring an pinion gears which means they were able to get the transmission ratio corrected for the large truggy tires without having to use a huge spur gear. This keeps the motor more centered in the car and the center diff lower to the chassis. A high torque steering servo has been spec’d for great steering accuracy and durability. Last but not least, the body comes fully detailed and a competition rear wing is added to make this truck that much more ready for the track or the back yard.

Xray Column – Euros Preparation

Xray Column - Euros Preparation

A double bill from Xray today with the 21st and 22nd installment in the Xray column from company owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy now online. In this months column, Juraj talks about both the preparations for the 1/8th scale Euros in Greece and the 1/10th scale Euros in Spain.

With our own factory indoor track, life has been made a bit easier. Martin built a copy of the Euros track layout and we gathered all the recent improvement ideas we had and prepared all the prototype parts for testing. The performance, handling, durability, and geometry have all been at the highest level for our T2’008 and as such we could focus on the smaller details (especially on reducing weight) and test different drivetrain parts.
