RDRP B6-series titanium hinge pin set

Revolution Design Racing Product have introduced an 8-piece set of titanium suspension pins for Team Associated’s B6 and B6D buggy.

The precision-machined suspension pins are made from high-quality Grade 5 titanium material and the 8-piece set includes all needed inner and outer suspension pins needed for a complete conversion. Also available are separate 2-piece front inner, 2-piece rear inner and a 4-piece front and rear outer hinge pin set.

Active Hobby introduce new TRF419 & TA07 Pro options

Japanese company Active Hobby have introduced several new option parts for the Tamiya TRF419 and TA07 Pro. Starting with the TRF419 parts, available soon are two sets of inner suspension pin weights that attach for the front and rear A-arm pins. Machined from heavy brass material and coming with a black and golden finish, the weights help to fine-tune the weight balance as they add weight to the lower part of the chassis but they do not hang over like FF or RR brass suspension brackets. They add about 3.5g of weight and they come in sets of two for the front or the rear of the chassis and they are also usable with the TA07 Pro.

Muchmore Impact HV FD2 & Max-Punch FD2 LiPo packs

Muchmore Impact HV FD2 & Max-Punch FD2 5200mAh LiPo packs

Coming from Muchmore are two new 5200mAh LiPo battery packs. First up is the Impact HV FD2 5200mAh 110C LiHV battery, made using the latest generation LiHV cells with a higher nominal voltage. Using LiHV-compatible chargers a 2S pack can be charged up to 8.7V allowing for higher output voltage. LiHV packs are also good to be charged to the standard 8.4V for sanctioned races with the flat discharge curve compared to regular packs making for more punch towards the end of a run. The pack measures a standard 138×46.5mm but the reduced height of 22.3mm makes for an overall lower centre of gravity. The hardcase battery pack is equipped with 4mm bullet-type connectors.

Team Powers Actinium V2 brushless motors

Team Powers have introduced the Actinium V2 brushless motors. The version 2 features a redesigned stator with lower resistance and improved power efficiency, which reduces the motor’s running temperature. The new case design incorporates an air flow convection system to keep motor temperatures down by 10 to 15 degrees. On top of this the new neodymium rotors produce a stronger magnetic field than the previous Actinium, by almost 10 percent, and they fade less at the end of a run for more power in the decisive moments of a main. The motor is rounded out by a new endbell design that has a greater range of timing, this gives the racer the ability to tailor the motor to his gearing and also changing track conditions. The V2 will become available in a range of modified and stock windings very soon.
