RC-Project Diff Washer

New from Italian option parts brand RC-Project is this Diff Washer.  Unlike traditional plastic containers with metal mesh inserts, this new model stands out for its premium materials and refined design, offering superior performance, long-term durability, and virtually zero maintenance.  Weighing 160 grams, it is extremely compact and easy to handle or transport, yet its internal volume is more than sufficient to meet the needs of even the most demanding racers.  The container and lid are CNC-machined from solid Ergal 7075, while the internal basket is made from AISI 316, a high-grade stainless steel renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance.  The Grade 5 Titanium vent screw, treated with a PVD coating, ensures exceptional wear and corrosion resistance. It allows internal vapors generated during the cleaning process to escape, ensuring optimal cleaning results without any risk of pressure build-up.  The Diff Washer is also designed to be completely leak-proof, thanks to two NBR O-rings placed on both the lid and the vent screw.  These O-rings provide a perfect seal, preventing any liquid leakage even during transport or storage when filled.

RC-Project MBX8R Shock Towers

Italian option parts brand RC-Project has released new shock towers for the Mugen Seiki MBX8R.  The result of months of testing in both Europe and the United States, they are manufactured from 7075-T6 Ergal aluminium with a 5 mm thickness and hard anodised finish ensuring high torsional rigidity, excellent mechanical strength, and improved driving precision.  A key feature of the new towers is the dual mounting options for a customisable setup.  The upper holes are recommended for bumpy or rough tracks offering increased stability and control, while the Lower hole are ideal for smooth, high-grip surfaces, enhancing traction and responsiveness.  The rear tower has additional mounting holes with two new positions allowing for a higher roll centre compared to the original design, improving cornering response and load transfer management.

RC-Project RC8B4.1 30g Rear Chassis Weight

New from Italian option parts brand RC-Project comes this 30-gram Rear Chassis Weight for the Team Associated RC8B4.1 1:8 Buggy.  The latest weight features a redesigned structure that centralises mass distribution compared to the previous version.  This update provides improved stability in high-speed corners and better responsiveness during direction changes.  Unlike the previous model with a fixed position, the new version allows for forward weight adjustment, enabling fine-tuning of the mass distribution according to the driver’s specific needs.  Additionally, the lower geometry has been revised to ensure a mount that minimises contact surface with the chassis, significantly enhancing the chassis torsion.
