3DRC 30mm Fan Booster super short

3DRC’s popular 30mm Fan Booster is now also available in a super short variant. Designed for all electric touring cars with limited space behind the motor the super short variant also comes in handy when mounting the fan in front of the motor or when less weight is needed in the rear part of the chassis. Like the standard length variant the Fan Booster will channel the cooling air created by the fan towards the motor can for optimised cooling and less motor power fading during a run. The part is usable with most 30mm fans and it is available directly through 3DRC’s Shapeways store.

PPM RC Racing have introduced the new RC-Cox 5mm LiPo battery safety plugs. Made from a soft material the plugs were designed to cover the unused openings of through-type LiPo battery connector tubes, keeping them from becoming dirty and damaged while also avoiding putting the battery in the car the wrong way around which can result in short circuits during hectic plug in routines. The plugs are easy to remove yet strong enough to not fall off even when the going gets tough and they come in sets of ten, enough to outfit five 5mm connector battery packs.

Protoform RT-C lightweight rubber tyre oval body shell

Protoform’s latest oval racing lid is the RT-C lightweight rubber tyre body shell. The XFINITY Series continues to provide full scale stock car fans with close exciting racing in 2017. Protoform now presents an oval body inspired by the newest generation of these cars. The RT-C has a bit of a twist though, as it is configured to fit perfectly over the taller rubber and capped tyres. Rubber tyres on carpet oval cars have put driving skill and a new element of fun into the oval scene. The longer lasting rubber tyre format saves time and money as well, eliminating the tyre truing process. The RT-C offers a large rear spoiler to aid in tuning – for that perfect front to rear balance, while the left side of the body is bumped out for extra battery clearance. The RT-C is produced in high-quality .025″ polycarbonate and includes spoiler mounting hardware, protective film, window masks and a decal sheet. This body will also fit most popular 200mm sedan chassis.
