Modelix from Spain have introduced the new Ultimate Racing EFRA 2142 Fast-Lock Super Strong exhaust system for 1/8th off-road kits. The Fast-Lock system allows to connect the pipe and manifold without the usual springs for a stronger and more reliable alignment and improved engine performance. The pipe and manifold are equipped with O-ring and gasket seals and the design of the exhaust provides a precise and linear throttle response in the low to mid RPM range while ensuring exceptional top speed. The exhaust was designed for the use with Ultimate’s M4R, M5 and M8 engines and the set includes the pipe, manifold, three short springs, 2 medium length springs as well as a single long spring as well as the manifold gaskets.
Coming from Ultimate Racing are new conical 16mm shock pistons for a range of 1/8th off-road kits. Available as blue-colour 1.3mm and red-colour 1.2mm variants, both are of an angled 8-hole design that help with smooth overall damper action and improved pack while landing jumps. The shock pistons come in sets of two each and they are usable for most 16mm inner diameter shock absorbers.
Modelix Racing have introduced their new M-3R 3-port 3.5cc nitro off-road engine. Like the previously released M3S, the R version is a 3-port 0.S. based power plant but it features a high-precision and Japan-made rear steel bearing, a balanced crankshaft with tungsten weight and silicone filling and it comes with a 6.5mm venturi insert. The engine is of a long stroke design, it offers high torque and extreme power all combined with low fuel consumption. Other features include a low-profile cooling head designed by Modelix, the carburettor is the same as with the M3S and M3T engines and the backplate is machined from 7075-T6 aluminium with the hard material reducing the conrod/backplate friction.

Modelix Racing from Spain have introduced their all-new Ultimate Racing MZ8 Pro brushless motor and MX8 Race brushless speed controller. Starting with the motor, the 690-size unit features a CNC-machined 3-piece 7075 aluminium case with integrated heatsink and it is of a 6-pole design for power and drivability. Strong neodymium magnets ensure high torque and an optimised stator design, dual high-quality ball bearings and pre-soldered quick-change heavy duty connectors make for high reliability. The motor is available in 1900kV and 2100kV variants and it includes pre-soldered wires.
Modelix Racing have introduced the new Ultimate Racing M3S nitro off-road engine. The O.S. made long-stroke power plant was developed to combine high torque with extreme power and a low fuel consumption, something that was achieved by using a redesigned carburettor that sports a new high speed needle holder for optimised mixture flow, better idling stability and increased mileage. Furthermore the new carburettor features a new uniball joint with two mounting screws for easier angle adjustment. Also new is an updated crankshaft with silicone filling and tungsten balancing while the DLC coating improves the lifespan of the crankshaft and crankshaft pin. Part of the new package is also a 3-port liner and piston assembly for smooth, linear yet high power supply and the updated CNC-machined and red anodised backplate made of 7075-T6 aluminium for reduced friction. Thanks to its design the backplate is now also easier to remove. The M3S engine is rounded out by high-quality Japanese-made ceramic bearings and 6.0mm and 6.5mm venturi inserts.

Coming from Ultimate Racing is their updated Pro flywheel remover for .12 to .21 nitro engines. Constructed from red anodised aluminium and high-quality spring steel the tool was designed to remove even rotten flywheels easily and conveniently as the aluminium fork securely grips behind the flywheel while the threaded spring steel stamp pushed the crankshaft out of the flywheel. The tool comes engraved with the Ultimate logo and it is available now.
