Rebellion-RC Roche F1 Evo carbon fibre optionals

RC-Carbonstore have introduced new Rebellion-RC carbon fibre optionals for the Roche F1 Evo formula pan car kit. First up is an updated main chassis plate that offers milled holes for the battery front stop as well as seven pockets for Rebellion-RC’s signature rubber battery cushions. The latter ensure near tweak-free battery placement for a more natural chassis flex. The chassis is available in several wheelbase options. Other new parts include the rear brace with multiple side tube options to allow to fine-tune roll characteristics, as well as upper and lower front arms in various track width variants, an upper deck stiffener, rear pod plates and many more. The items are available separately or as a complete chassis conversion kit. Also available is the popular WTC wing-to-chassis mount that attaches the rear wing to the main chassis plate. The parts come in your choice of twelve different carbon fibre weaves and colours.

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.
