New from DiMonaco, under the RC Fox label, is this EFRA legal #3021 muffler, updated to 2008 specifications from the previous #2064 pipe. This pipe claims to reduce fuel consumption and increase revs in the lower range, while its inline design improves the efficiency of the whole system. Made from a thick and strong material, the stinger has been reinforced to prevent damage in an impact.

Serpent have introduced a new WC version of their Centax III clutch system and updated 2-speed gearbox system. The updated transmission uses the same pitch as before but has an improved tooth profile, which combined with a wider spur and pinion gear, gives better contact for better durability and power delivery. The steel clutch bell housing has also been updated with the pinions no longer forming the structure of this area but are instead attached the steel threads on the new bell. This ensures that the gears spin true and are much more resistant to any flexing in this area. As a result of this new bell, the front 2 bearings in the clutch have been changed and are now smaller in diameter compared to previous versions. The new WC transmission cannot be used together with the original spurs or pinion gears. A full range of spur gears (54T-56T, 59T-61T) and pinions (16T-18T, 21T-23T) are available separately.

More starter boxes from H.A.R.D., with the release of the ultra compact H3 starter box, which is available for on or off road cars. The H3 sports a high revving 775 motor to kick start any engine on the market from .12 to .30 and beyond. With almost twice the power of standard 540 motors, this power plant has more than enough torque to get that piston off of top dead centre without a fight. The starting wheel is made of a high density rubberised material and sits well above the starter box surface to reach up and grab any size flywheel. The casing has been made from composite materials which are scratch resistant, fuel resistant and strong, yet lightweight for easy transport. Some other advantages of a moulded casing are built-in handles, adjustable chassis brackets, a convenient glow igniter holder, wrench holder and a non-conductive surface.

Novarossi have released this set of 3 safe storage plugs, designed to cover all the openings on the engine. Most racers have multiple engines and this means that 1 or more engines are being stored away somewhere amongst your racing gear. A plastic bag gives some protection but it is not dust & oil proof, and that is where these plastic plugs come in. Placing them over the carburettor, fuel nipple and exhaust port, this closes the engine fully and keeps dust and debris outside the engine, and oil inside the engine. Available for both 3.5cc/4.66cc engines and 2.10cc/2.5cc engines.
