Exotek Micro RS XPro chassis conversion & optionals

Exotek introduce a range of option parts for the HPI Racing Micro RS4 in the form of the XPro chassis conversion, front steel CVD axles and an alloy front spool. Starting with the conversion kit, the set’s race-inspired design utilises micro servos and LiPo packs for true 1/18th scale micro style performance and looks. It makes use of 1.5mm USA-made carbon fibre for lighter weight and factory racing looks and includes a 1.5mm fibre glass T-plate for improved rear suspension flex and handling. The chassis allows to run 140mm or 150mm wheelbase settings with the T-plate being mounted via a steel block. The weight of the block also adds weight to the rear end for better handling with lighter micro sized LiPo batteries. Furthermore the set includes secure adjustable alloy servo mounts for use with micro-sized servos, it comes with a machined alloy front suspension arm pin holder and also an adjustable ESC tray that also serves as the micro battery strap.

JConcepts 1.9″ Vengeance trail & scale wheel

JConcepts 1.9" Vengeance trail & scale wheel

The new 1.9″ Vengeance wheel from JConcepts is a perfect complement to the array of 1.9″ trail and scale rig builds, projects and vehicles currently on the market. The 8-spoke wheel design is rather smooth, incorporating a triangle type cut-out about the centre for heavy street appeal. The design leaves the natural colour of the wheel showing inside the spokes which adds a touch of mystery and depth. In-between the spoke design rests the dividing sections which break up the pattern adding a bit of bite to the overall design. The entire face of the wheel has been plated with a silver coating which gives scaler’s a little more luxurious look to match-up to the variety of 1:1 inspired bodies on the market. Each pair of wheels includes a solid and open centre cap which brings even more detail to the wheel. Depending on the desired look or axle length of the vehicle, drivers can choose whichever is best for their individual needs. Moulded in black with a face plating, being unique is worry free as practically any paint scheme can be matched to these new wheels.

Pro-Line pre-cut Trifecta wing & roll-up pit mat

Pro-Line have a pre-cut Trifecta Lexan wing and a roll-up pit mat available soon. From the mind of World Champion and Pro-Line team driver Ty Tessmann, the 1/8th Trifecta Lexan wing brings a huge amount of weight savings to the highest part of the buggy and massively lowers your car’s centre of gravity. This results in faster corner speeds and reduces the chance of traction rolling when faced with high-bite track conditions. The 1:8 Trifecta Lexan wing design follows the tradition set by the 1/10th buggy wing and features three strengthening ribs and three dimples that hang down on each side creating a “golf ball aerodynamic effect” under the wing for added down force and reduced high speed drag. The set included the pre-cut wing and the centre fin piece as well as two different size wickerbills to tune the performance and downforce.

Reedy 6000mAh 70C 2S competition LiPo battery

Reedy’s new 6000mAh 70C competition LiPo battery is intended primarily for touring cars where capacity can be sacrificed in exchange for lighter weight and increased power output. Lighter weight allows for greater flexibility when adjusting weight distribution while maintaining the correct minimum overall weight. The pack offers increased power output thanks to a high average discharge voltage and low internal resistance which makes the battery interesting for Stock racers while Modified racers will enjoy the added power as well. The battery meets ROAR, EFRA, BRCA and IFMAR specs and it comes with 4mm socket connectors to keep the power-robbing resistance to a minimum.
