RC Maker MTC2 SlimFlex chassis & roll centre shim plates

RC Maker have released their new MTC2 SlimFlex chassis & roll centre shim plates. Building on the foundation of their SlimFlex chassis range they believe they have optimised the flex to improve the performance of the car which is reflected in both feeling and lap-times. One major change on the SlimFlex chassis is the removal of the “through” spool and diff cutouts. They have pocketed these only 1mm deep, which provides a more rigid front and rear. This directs the flex back the the centre of the chassis for more consistent handling. RC Maker have also releases new easy to change roll centre shim plates for the MTC2. Simply loosen the screws, slide one plate out and another plate in and tighten. The set includes 0.5mm and 1mm plates for front and rear, meaning you can adjust anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5mm depending on how many, and which plates you use.

RC Maker MTC2 flex dampeners & tuning options

New from RC Maker these bulkhead/top deck flex dampeners are a must have to tune the flex of your MTC2. Restricting the lateral bulkhead axis of flex, they are a powerful tuning option which can be used on both the bulkheads, and the top deck. They also have some quick adjust body stopper shim plates to make changing the height of the body stopper a breeze, which is really handy for when you’re changing bodies or body heights on the fly. Finally they have got some accurate new caster tools and adapters, so you can measure your caster and ensure it’s spot on. This allows you to detect a misalignment and make any adjustments necessary to correct it, digitally, or with your setup station.

RC Maker T4’21 Slimflex chassis & top decks

For those Xray drivers that want to continue to use their RC Maker options on their T4’21, the Australian company has produced an updated Slimflex chassis and top deck. With the T4’21 seeing only some slight adjustments to the design, the chassis and top decks feature only minor adjustments from the T4’20. The 2.2mm thick chassis profile remains unchanged, however they have now been able to add additional holes to the rear of the chassis to enable the use of their ‘weight shift’ adjustable chassis weights. The topdeck has also undergone minor adjustments after feedback from their team drivers and have now added an additional brace in front of the spur gear to increase the rigidity in high traction and hot conditions to provide more corner speed. If running on low to medium grip, you may want to look at removing the brace for increase flex in the front. The top deck is available in both 1.6mm and 2.0mm versions.

RC Maker A12 shim plate set & damper guard

RC Maker have produced their first option parts for the newly released Awesomatix A12 1/12th scale car. First up is a carbon front ride height shim plate set which makes it much easier to make aggressive ride height adjustments on the fly. The separate shims just slide in when loosening the screws, and the front being a solid plate is much easier to install than 3 separate shims. Very handy for asphalt racing or when using big tires. Next up is a carbon damper guard that was developed particularly for asphalt. After some feedback from team drivers running on asphalt, they found the damper section of the chassis began to wear on bumpy tracks. This 0.5mm stick on plates act as a guard and prevent the damper burring over on the edges and touching the output shafts, effecting the smoothness of your dampening.
