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.

RC Maker GeoCarbon HD weighted tweak wheel set

RC Maker have presented their new GeoCarbon HD weighted tweak wheel set for touring cars. The concept is simple yet very effective. The wheels are weighted offside and on a ball bearing, so as soon as you pick the car up trying to see what wheel comes off first, the wheel that is high will spin, and indicate which way to turn the collars on the opposite end of the car. No more getting down on your knees eye-balling it, or feeling for the lift off point, simply watch which one spins first, and that’s the high corner. The wheels feature ABEC 7 Quality bearings and integrated 7075 Alu knurled thumb nut. The wheels and nut stay as one piece to ensure you never lose anything. The opposite end features the same hardware, except with a stable “A” design to ensure the car stays still and rigid whilst doing your tweak. Just swap them front to rear when doing the opposite end.

RC Maker MMX GeoCarbon V3 arms

Building upon their very popular GeoCarbon V2 Arms for the Awesomatix A800 MMX, RC Maker are excited to present their V3 arms. Featuring front steering arm options for both single and double bellcrank steering, as well as rear steering arms, they feature duplicated geometry of standard arms and provide more flex on the toe axis, which in testing yielded more traction. The V3 Arms now feature a pressed 7075 aluminium M3 threaded insert, so now you can screw the ball stud directly into the arm.

RC Maker have developed some beefed up extension plates for the Xray T4’20 alu steering hubs. They have also integrated an M3 pressed insert which completely does away with the nut on top of the arm. There’s specific versions for front and rear to maximise strength in each position whilst ensuring required clearance from hubs/wheels.

RC Maker 3D Pro direct mount fan shroud

RC Maker have introduced their new ultimate fan shroud and fan mount in one. Available in 3 versions for the Awesomatix A800MMX, Xray T4’20 or Yokomo BD10, it mounts directly to the motor-mount using the supplied super light aluminium mounting screws, with no fan mount or tape required. The new shroud increases the volume of air flow over the motor, reducing motor temperatures and how it is mounted, floating off the chassis, there is no interference with the chassis’ flex.
