RC Maker GeoCarbon car/tire warmer stand & parts trays

A number of new GeoCarbon goodies from RC Maker starting with this car stand for 1/10th & 1/12th Onroad which doubles as a mount for your Arrowmax tire warmers. Featuring a lightweight, minimalistic design, its 5mm carbon construction allows the ‘Skeleton’ style design to be extremely durable, yet very lightweight. The car stand features anti-slip rubber feet, as well as anti-slip thin rubber on the top, ensuring your car stays put and there’s no damage to your chassis or the car stand. Mounting the tire warmer inside gives you a platform for you to sit your car while you warm. To do this it requires the separately available 3D printed mounts to be mounted inside. The remaining two items are parts trays, with the first doubles as a setup station. This updated version features a different layout to maximise tray space, with an increased footprint. It features a solid construction of dual layer carbon fibre, with integrated micro magnets to hold small parts. There are 5 large parts compartments at your disposal on the tray, as well as a setup wheel nut holder and body pin holder. It also features a horizontal and vertical toe gauge holder, saving lots of room on your pit bench. The second parts tray is a new longer and thinner version which again is made up of dual layer carbon fibre, with integrated micro magnets to hold small parts or tools. There are 9 parts compartments at your disposal on the tray, as well as a body pin holder to keep your parts separate and organised.

RC Maker MTC2 bulkhead alignment multi-tool

RC Maker have introduced their bulkhead alignment multi-tool for the Mugen MTC2. Featuring a similar design to the original MSE plate, it allows MTC2 drivers to align their bulkheads square, which is absolutely crucial to having a square car. Because the caster is ultimately determined by the upper bulkhead angle, any inaccuracy from the bulkhead alignment will be transferred through to the suspension. The multi tool locates onto the keyed areas of the bulkheads and then attaches with via M3 Button head screws. It can be used with an assembled car, all that needs to be removed are the upper bulkheads and diff/spool. They have also included some other cool features into the tool such as a quick bulkhead width checker, which can be slid in under the rear body mount or front bulkhead brace to quickly check if you’ve got any alignment issues. The other cool feature is the track width measurement, simply align one side with the edge of your tire, and see what measurement the other side is reading. A basic, but cool integration which will come in handy when testing and tuning at the track.

RC Maker HRP optional body mount extensions

RC Maker have released an optional body mount extensions for their unique horizontal rear post body mounting set. The new carbon extensions feature an oval cutout for the post, rather than round, allowing the body to move 2mm vertically upwards. This improves the handling over curbs and chassis flex efficiency underneath the body, without any compromise of strength or downforce. These new extensions are interchangeable with all HRP Mount Sets, and are a great tuning option for your ZooRacing or Xtreme body.

RC Maker MTC2 & A800MMX top deck options

RC Maker have presented their new V2 Top deck range for the Mugen MTC2 and one-piece range for the Awesomatix A800MMX. Building on the development of their first MTC2 version, they wanted to produce their own pivot screws to improve the adjustability and efficiency of the flex, and also strength of the top decks whilst achieving maximum pinion clearance. The end result is the V2 & their new SlimFlex 1-piece. With the twin top deck being the standard on the A800MMX, benefits were still being seen of the single-piece design shifting the flex point forward for increased steering. RC Maker developed two very successful top decks for the MMCX years ago, and have optimised their design, adjustability and pinion clearance, to bring you the SlimFlex 1 piece & CentraFlex top deck range for the A800MMX. They also have a cool little turnbuckle holder tool. This concept was originally developed by MR33, they have tackled it a different way and think it helps a lot to keep your ball cups flat while making adjustments to your camber and caster.

RC Maker MTC2 brass roll centre shim plates

RC Maker have introduced their all new brass roll centre shim plates for the Mugen MTC2. Changing roll centres on your MTC2 has never been easier, rather than undoing the whole screw and having shims flying everywhere, simply loosen the screw, slide the shim plate out, and install the new roll centre shim plate, and re-tighten the screws. With the ever demanding focus on weight distribution and adding additional weight down low on the mid motor platforms, they decided to produce brass shim plates in the most common thicknesses used today, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.5mm. This gives you a great range of roll centre options to choose from, whilst being able to move weight around your car to adjust the front/rear weight bias.
