Russian company Insane-RC introduce the new Carpet Fighter 1/10th scale short course truck tyres and a line of foam inserts. Starting with the tyre, it is developed for high-grip indoor carpet racing and it sports specially designed inner ribs for improved carcass stiffness which makes for much better stability especially in high-speed corners as the ribs minimise the gab between the tyre and the wheel. The tyres are made in Russia from 100 percent natural rubber which is meant to stay consistent even in freezing weather conditions which can be important when racing on outdoor carpet or astroturf tracks. Also new are foam inserts for all Carpet Fighter tyres. Available in three different hardness of standard, hard and super hard the cut inserts are ideal for carpet racing.

Introducing a system that looks and works much like disk brakes on motorcycles, bikes, and large cars, MIP’s all new Real Brakes are here for the Losi 5ive-T. Consisting of proper and replaceable brake pads for stopping power and a disk rotor that is sure to last the life of the car, this system is sure to stop Losi’s large scale truck on a dime. With the updated brakes adjusting the pitch of the car in the air is a synch and as the car reacts in the air the brake rotor will not get cocked forward or backward due to special brake guide. This system has been tested for months by MIP’s product development team and is attributed with the 2014 West Coast Nationals Win and 2015 Nitro Challenge wins.

New from Exotek comes the rear motor 7075 aluminium bulkhead conversion for rear motored DEX210 series cars including the v1, v2 and ST. Co-designed with the Team Durango race factory and produced by Exotek the new concept rear motor bulkhead was used by Jörn Neumann to win the 2014 Euro Championships. Made of high-strength 7075 alloy and machined down to reduce overall weight, the new RM bulkhead provides lower inner camber link mounting points for improved high roll centre options as well as chassis mounted alloy inner ball stud mounting. The construction also re-locates the shock tower to be in front of the rear shocks and it changes the flex characteristics of the chassis and gearbox. On top of that the design makes for easier gear box access and removal and the wing can be mounted more forward or in the rear stock gearbox location. The set is available in factory gold or black anodising and it is recommended for experienced modellers as it requires hand cutting of the stock plastic gearbox.
