Coming from PSM and made for the Xray X12’18 pan car is a battery positioning system that allow to easily shift the battery forth and back. Constructed from carbon fibre the set is a direct fit with the multi-piece clamping design reducing chassis tweak as does the O-ring battery mount. Including all necessary hardware the system weighs in at 8g and it is a direct fit on the X12’18.
Coming from RC Speed Secrets and made for the R1 Wurks V16 stock brushless motors is the Beast-Mode motor performance kit. The set includes three titanium motor can screws, three endbell screws as well as a titanium motor ring and RCSS Next-Level hybrid ceramic motor bearings. As the stock steel screws and ring interfere with magnetic fields in the motor, causing drag on the rotor and holding it back from its full potential, the included titanium screws allow the motor to rev higher and perform better, something that is further helped by the free-spinning ceramic bearings. The set is best used with the V16 13.5T and 17.5T motors and it is available with “Bada Bling” oil-slick design or stealth black screws.
Coming soon from Destiny is an aluminium flex chassis plate for their new RX10-SR touring car. Of a different design compared to the recently introduced hard alloy chassis, the flex version sports machined herringbone sections under the battery and electronics area for increased torsional flex which can be beneficial in medium to high grip conditions and when the original carbon chassis is too soft and the full face alloy chassis offers too much stiffens. The plate is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes black anodised and with machined silver edge details.
