RC Maker X4’24 Geocarbon parts

Australia’s RC Maker has released a number of its GeoCarbon parts for the recently launched Xray X4’24 1:10 Electric Touring Car. First up is their brand new GeoCarbon Bumper Plate with Stopper that sports their ever stylish, stealth and innovative design. The Plastic X4 Bumper and Stopper whilst effective, in RC Maker’s eyes doesn’t provide the most stylish solution to keeping your chassis safe in the event of a crash. The design integrates the stopper under the main bumper plate, lining up with a lower flat section on the front bulkheads. In the event of a crash, the force will be transferred through this lower section of the bulkheads and keep the chassis in tact, with minimal effect on the bulkheads. The 4mm thick heavy duty brace recesses over the small bumper posts enabling it to get low enough to align with the bulkhead. When tightening the upper plate, it clamps the whole assembly down tightly. The Carbon Front Bumper Mount Stopper is also available separately

RC Maker has evolved one of its most popular products with the introduction of their brand new Carbon Tweak Stick Pro End Plates. These new end plates feature a black anodised 7075 aluminium hub with a carbon attachment that locates onto the upper bulkheads of your touring car. The hub features a vertical grub screw which locks the end plate down to the stick, making sure it always stays flat and in the same place. This design keeps the whole assembly more sturdy whilst you apply pressure to the stick. The new Tweak Stick Pro End Plates fit both the existing RC Maker tweak stick, and their new Tweak Stick Pro. So if you’ve already got the Original Tweak Stick, you can just upgrade with the new end plates.

RC Maker BD12 SlimFlex chassis & topdecks

RC Maker has released a number of carbon parts for Yokomo’s recently released BD12 electric touring car. The range includes SlimFlex 2.2mm Regular & HARD Carbon Chassis and SlimFlex 2.0mm & 1.6mm Topdeck Sets. The third in their SlimFlex range of Enhanced Carbon Chassis’, the Yokomo BD12 chassis and ‘Hard’ chassis’ feature a narrower chassis all round to provide less scrubbing in corners, leading to increased corner speed. This increases flex, so to counteract this, we have recessed the diff and spool cutouts instead of cutting them all the way through. Not only does this bring the chassis back up to our desired amount of flex, it also improves aerodynamic performance by not preventing air from under the chassis being forced up into the car, detrimental to downforce. Overall, the chassis is slightly stiffer than the kit chassis, and provides improved response. The hard version chassis features a significantly stiffer weave of carbon, which reduces the flex greatly. The flex of this carbon chassis fills a large void between a standard carbon chassis and an aluminium chassis, making it the optimum choice for med-high traction asphalt, and low-med traction carpet. Often track conditions can cause the need for an “in between” option, where an aluminium chassis is too stiff and makes the car too easy to drive and slower, and a carbon chassis is too aggressive or difficult to drive to be consistent. The stiff carbon chassis is the perfect middle ground.
