RPM Castle Sidewinder 4 ESC cage

Made for Castle Creation’s Sidewinder 4 speed controller is the new Traxxas-compatible ESC cage from RPM. The cage allows to securely mount the controller without having to use unreliable tape or zip ties as it secretly clamps the controller while being attached to the chassis using existing mounting positions. RPM also include a separate, encased on/off switch mount that bolts directly to the cage in one of four locations for extreme versatility. Since the switch attaches to the cage, no extra time is needed to remove it during maintenance or if owners decide to swap the ESC between vehicles. The cage is available in black or blue colour and it fits the Traxxas Stampede 4×4, Slash 4×4, Slash 4×4 LCG, Slash 2wd, Slash 2wd LCG and Rally as well as the Stampede 2wd, Rustler and Bandit, the latter three require the use of the Traxxas #3725 mounting plate.

Yokomo YRX-12 2019 Edition 1/12th pan car kit

Coming soon from Yokomo is their YRX-12 2019 Edition 1/12th scale pan car kit. Next year’s edition will feature a new front suspension design that allows either a king pin or coil suspension option to be used and it builds on a newly designed aluminium main chassis that is included as standard in the kit. The chassis comes strategically milled to provide a lower centre of gravity and an optimised torsional flex which is needed for high-grip circuits to prevent traction rolls. The steering response has been improved by moving the centre damper forward and in combination with the increased rear traction, a minimum of steering angle is needed to guide the car through the corners, resulting in an overall improved balance. The front body mount has also been moved further forward in order to provide better body support especially at high speed. In addition the body mounts are now mounted on a separate graphite plate on top of the main chassis to reduces chassis scrub when cornering and to improve speed and provide smoother turning. The 2019 kit will ship from end of August and should hit stores soon after.

7075 Awesomatix-specific Kill Bill Air Killer

7075 Special Parts have introduced their new Awesomatix-specific Kill Bill Air Killer vacuum pump.

The pump was developed to quickly and conveniently remove unwanted air bubbles from freshly filled or maintained dampers and gear diffs, making building, setup and maintenance a breeze. The tool is made of high-quality 7075 aluminium and it comes black anodised and machined and marked recesses for the dampers and diff.
