The machined aluminium items come black anodised for wear, in sets of two and including four grub screws.
Nemo Racing have introduced the new Beta 34mm 4-shoe aluminium clutch system. The design and materials utilised in this new clutch make for a very durable assembly whilst also offering the exceptional traction levels and low fuel consumption on all surfaces. The clutch uses a more convention spring design for ease of assembly and reliability, but the spring is a through shoe design, meaning less filing of clutch shoes and more racing. The clutch shoes are made of 7075 aluminium, meaning it has the best balance between durability, traction and drivability. The 34mm flywheel also uses 7075 aluminium allowing for a lightweight and strong design, with steel flywheel pins offering the best durability and strength. The 4-shoe clutch is simple to assemble and adjust, with the two different thickness spring coming in the package, both of which colour coded for easy recognition. The clutch comes supplied with a clutch nut and collet.

Coming from SWorkz and made for the SPower S7 Evo II and O.S. Speed Spec II/III and B2102 engines is the new LPF cooling head. The heatsink is 24mm lower than the standard version while the weight is also reduced by 10g which results in a dramatically lowered centre of gravity. The outcome are improved cornering performance, increased stability and less chances of damaging the heatsink in the event of a crash. Thanks to the larger diameter of the heatsink the cooling performance is the same compared to a standard, tall cooling head.
