RC-Project introduce new 1/8th off-road shock standoffs

Coming soon from RC-Project from Italy are new shock standoffs for HB Racing, Mugen, SWorkz and Team Associated 1/8th off-road kits. The standoffs are machined from high-quality Ergal 7075-T6 material with the design of the standoff increasing the surface between the shock cap bushing and shock mount, meaning less wear to all parts involved. A hard-coat finish and teflon treatment further enhance parts life. The standoffs, that are available separately for the front and rear, come with colour-matching shims specific to each vehicle and they also include high-quality mounting screws.

RC-Project S35-3 Valente Edition V2 Ackermann plates

RC-Project have introduced the V2 steering knuckle Ackermann plates for the use with their SWorkz S35-3 V1 Valente Edition steering Ackermann kit. The steering knuckle plates for the recently introduced V2 set have undergone quite a revision with the addition of two steering link mounting positions that allow to access standard and aggressive steering characteristics by simply relocating the outer steering link ballstud positions. Using the now separately available V2 steering knuckle plates will allow owners of the older spec V1 Valente Edition Ackermann kit to upgrade their S35-3 vehicle to the latest specification. The steering knuckle plates come machined from high-quality aluminium, they feature a red surface coating for wear and looks and sport laser-etched S and A markings to high-light the standard and aggressive steering settings.

RC-Project S35-3 series Valente Edition V2 steering kit

Coming from RC-Project and made for the SWorkz S35-3 series of vehicles is the Valente Edition V2 Ackermann steering kit. The set was developed to optimise the steering characteristics of the vehicles for more consistent cornering and increased cornering speed while optimising entry and mid-corner bump handling. Part of the package are redesigned outer steering spindle plates that offer two different steering link positions, the standard “S” marked position for high-grip and a new aggressive “A” geometry for slippery tracks. The set is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 Ergal material, the parts come with a red surface coating for wear and looks and also included are Reverse-type pivot balls whose updated geometry fine-tune the whole steering system. The set is usable for the S35-3, S35-3E, and S35-GT kits.

RC-Project MBX8 Ackermann steering kit

Coming from RC-Project and made for the Mugen MBX8 series of vehicles is an Ackermann steering kit. The set was developed to optimise the steering characteristics of the vehicles by allowing for full steering lock and increasing the steering angle of the outer wheel by 12 degrees. This results in better turn in and more consistent cornering while making the car easier and more precise to control in fast sections also. Part of the package are redesigned outer steering spindle plates that offer two different steering link positions, the standard “S” marked position for high-grip and a new aggressive “A” geometry for slippery tracks. The set is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 Ergal material, the parts come with a black surface coating for wear and looks and also included are Reverse-type pivot balls whose updated geometry fine-tune the whole steering system.

RC-Project clutch bell retaining screw

RC-Project have introduced their new “Limited Edition” titanium clutch bell retaining screw for 1/8th off-road and single-speed GT vehicles. Machined from highest quality Grade 5 6Al4V titanium the screw will offer different thermal expansion compared to steel, making it possible to undo or fasten the bolt even when the engine is still hot after a run. In addition the new design of the fastener prevents it from rubbing on the clutch bearing or end bell which reduces heat built up while adding to the overall durability of the whole system. With a screw head thickness of 3mm the clutch bell retainer also presents collisions with the fuel tank in tight surroundings. What also makes the screw stand out is the 5.5mm socket head that allows for much easier and more reliable assembly and easier removal compared to using a classic 2.5mm hex head. As each screw features a unique number, RC-Project gives a 1-year warranty on the fastener that is available separately or in pairs.

RC-Project XB8 titanium shock standoffs

RC-Project from Italy have introduced their new titanium shock standoffs for the Xray XB8 series of vehicles. Machined from high-quality 6Al4V titanium and featuring rolled threads for increased precision and stability, the standoffs are available as front -1/0mm and rear +3/0mm variant, allowing to fine-tune the shock angle according to the suspension’s caster and anti-squat settings which results in less stress on the damper’s piston, piston rod and body and therefore creates an overall smoother shock action with reduced internal wear. The front and rear standoffs are available separately and they come as pairs including shims to adjust the shock angle.

RC-Project 1/8th off-road shock standoffs

RC-Project from Italy have announced the release of their all-new shock standoffs for 1/8th off-road buggies. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 Ergal material the standoff bushings are of a specific design and geometry that greatly improves parts life of bushing and standoff over common designs. In addition a hard-coated surface and teflon treatment reduces friction between the bushing and standoff, allowing for a parts life of about 30 to 35 litres without replacing the standoff or bushing. The standoffs are available as 0 offset or +5 offset variants, separately or as Pro Driver package including Grade 5 6Al4V Titanium rolled thread screws for Team Associated, HB Racing, Mugen and SWorkz kits.
