Bezerk YRX12’19 & P12 Evo carbon fibre chassis

Bezerk from Australia have announced the release of new carbon fibre main chassis for the Yokomo YRX12 2019 and Roche P12 Evo 1/12th scale pan cars. Starting with the YRX12 chassis, it is made from 2.5mm glossy plain weave carbon fibre and it offers more flex than the kit alloy or carbon chassis available from Yokomo. This helps with traction on low to medium grip tracks. Also available is a suitable lower pod plate. Over to the P12 Evo chassis, the main plate also offers increased flex over the standard part, however it is additionally available in stiff weave carbon for high grip conditions. A suitable lower motor pod plate is available from Bezerk as well.

Roche P12 Evo servo mount & LH steering knuckles

Roche have introduced new option parts for their Rapide P12 Evo 1/12th scale and P10 1/10th scale on-road kits. First up is an aluminium servo mount set for 35mm to 37mm micro servos. The set includes new black anodised servo mounts as well as centre shock shims with the mounts being designed for the use with the latest generation of larger size micro servos. The parts are precision-machined from high-quality aluminium, they come black anodised for wear and looks and they are a direct fit. Also new is a low height steering knuckle set for the P12 Evo and P10 kits. The reduced height allows for a wider front suspension setup range while also helping with steering response adjustment. The set includes a left and a right hand side steering knuckle moulded from high-quality composite material.

T-Works P12 Evo lightweight turnbuckle & screw sets

Coming from T-Works and made for the Roche P12 Evo 1/12th scale pan car are a lightweight titanium turnbuckle set as well as several screw kits. Starting with the turnbuckle set, the links are made of high-quality 64 grade titanium and the kit consists of toe, camber and servo links that are topped off by a suitable 4mm turnbuckle wrench. Using the lightweight parts will add visual impact while scrubbing overall weight. Also new are a total of four screw sets with the range including a red anodised all-alloy kit, a mixed aluminium and titanium UFO head set, a full UFO head titanium kit as well as a gold colour plated steel screw set. The alloy and titanium sets will greatly reduce overall weight while the gold colour steel screws mainly add visual impact.

Exotek roll out new X1 & F6 optionals

Coming from Exotek are several new option parts for the Xray X1 and Team Associated F6 formula car kits. First up is a rear carbon fibre spool axle, usable on the X1 and F6. The extra lightweight carbon fibre and 7075 aluminium clamping spool set utilises a 1/4” rear axle design such as for the X1, F6 and also the Roche cars. The spool helps eliminate “diffing out” of the rear pod on extra high grip black carpet conditions and gives the car more corner exit speeds. The spool also greatly reduces the weight compared to a gear diff or standard ball diff for a cooler running motor and increased acceleration. The sturdy design eliminates any holes in the shaft for increased shaft durability and the spur gear mount keys directly into the supplied right side wheel clamp and makes for easier gear swaps as well. Also the right side wheel clamp uses 2-screws-style clamping which requires less force on the screws for better clamping force. The conversion requires a standard pan car ball diff type spur gear and the standard left side clamping hub.
