Bittydesign LS3 GT12 bodyshell

Fresh from Bittydesign comes a brand new bodyshell for the 1/12 scale GT12 category called the LS3. Featuring an instantly recognisable look, based on a famous car manufacturer, it has been tested for several months with performance to match the realistic aesthetic. The design has been adapted to meet the specs of the GT12 class, the front splitter as well the side skirts have been moved many times to find the perfect height and compromise between air efficiency and realism. Tests on different tracks demonstrate very fast corner entry that remains stable through the steering range while the rear end is very stable thanks to the big wing that make the model particularly easy to drive. Universal, it fit all the 1/12 GT12 chassis on the market, but can also fit a 1/12 pan-car chassis. Produced in a lightweight version, with a thickness of 0,75mm, the body comes with a complete set of screws, nuts and large plastic washers to fix the rear wing as well as a decal sheet and windows mask.

Arrowmax Dash TLAB Mode standard combo kit

Arrowmax have introduced their Dash TLAB Mode Standard Combo Kit (RED) for the Dash AI Pro and upcoming Dash AI LCG esc. With this new function you are able to give access to the outlaw boost and turbo within the popular Stock “Blinky” class racing. Starting out with just a regular “Blinky” class esc, drivers are given a pre-set time limit were they are able to use the Boost and turbo function, just like Modified, within that pre-set time limit. The Dash ESC will have an added feature that can be activated by the 3rd channel on the radio. After the time limit has expired the ESC will return to the “Blinky” mode just like any regular speed control.

Tekno RC Traktion Drive kit

Tekno RC have reintroduced their Trakton Drive. This system gives your electric vehicle a ‘nitro feel’ and improves consistency by reducing the instant acceleration of modern electric systems. Employing a special clutch shoe and spring design to engage the shoes in the clutch bell, it’s engaged at zero RPM and has no lag but still provides some ‘give’ on hard acceleration or impacts. It’s extremely helpful on loose or rough tracks as it will smooth the power delivery as the vehicle traverses through bumps. If you’re a nitro and electric racer, this system will make transitioning between the two vehicles easier as your electric vehicle will feel more like a nitro.

MIP YZ2 DTM2.0 Puck 17.5 drive system

MIP’s popular Puck 17.5 drive system is now also available for Yokomo YZ2 DTM2.0 buggy. Its been a long process to get everything just right with the S3 and S4 arms and the amount of tuning options in the Yokomo YZ2. The lightweight, aluminium-based system is a replacement for the standard steel items and includes a 2-piece aluminium outdrive cup and aluminium outdrive hub assembly, two pairs of Bi-metal bones (for S3 & S4), and the replaceable plastic orange wear Pucks™ that take the place of the inferior steel pins. This combination greatly increases the longevity of the drivetrain and most importantly decreases the drivetrain’s overall rotating mass by about 50 percent. The decrease in weight directly results in quicker acceleration, deceleration, and lower motor temps, making it ideal for 17.5T stock racing classes.
