Reds Racing R7 Evoke V3.0 nitro engine

Reds Racing have announced the release of the new R7 Evoke V3.0 Mario Rossi tuned .21 off-road engine. The engine represents the company’s latest high performance offering and it was designed with improved fuel efficiency, performance and reliability in mind. Like the previous lineup, the R7 Evoke is specially aimed at the use on low grip and narrow circuits where the smoother torque curve of the engine can give an advantage. New to the 7-port long-stroke engine is a new combustion camber sealing that helps to keep dirt away from the redesigned internals. Also new are the lightweight crankcase and cooling head, all adding to a lower centre of gravity engine while the tuned crankshaft, made from special carbon steel, comes double balanced and silicone-filled for maximised engine performance. Part of the package is also the Diamond backplate with a special anti-friction hard-coating that reduces the conrod-backplate friction for improved engine efficiency and performance. Rounding out the hand-made, hand-tuned and hand-assembled V3.0 engine are a high-quality, Japanese-made steel front and Swiss-made steel-ceramic rear bearing.

Destiny RX-10S 1/10th touring car kit

Following a couple of prototype images, Destiny have released a handful of production kit images of their all-new RX-10S 1/10th touring car kit. At the first glance the car is of a class-standard design with a double deck carbon fibre chassis, different chassis flex options and low-profile big bore shock absorbers. A bit of a difference though are the lower wishbones with honeycomb-shaped reinforcement struts, as well as the rail-type steering and hex adapter design, with the latter two reminding of the design used on a certain Russian touring car. Other features of the RX-10S kit include specially coated spring-steel driveshafts, C-hubs with caster inserts, POM damper pistons, as well as a lightweight composite front spool. It is understood that the first batch of the kit is ready for shipment, meaning the car will hit the stores shortly.

Exotek D413 alloy rear hubs & 72T Flite spur gear

Coming from Exotek is an aluminium rear hub set for the HB D413 as well as a 72T Flite series spur gear. Starting with the rear hubs, they are machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and they feature vertical ball stud mounting positions for easy and precise roll centre adjustments. The hubs are of a heavy duty design but light of weight at the same time. Machined bearing seats make for precise bearing fit. An optional 3mm set screw on the hinge pin makes for improved hinge pin fit. Included with the hubs come two 2mm alloy washers to match the stock suspension geometry. Also new is the 48 pitch 72T Flite spur gear for Exotek’s slipper eliminator hubs. Made from fully machined POM to insure true roundness, the extra interior machining reduces the overall weight for a low rotating mass.

Xray XB2 steering knuckle Ackermann plates

Xray have introduced new steering knuckle Ackermann plates for the XB2 2WD buggy. Adding to the standard “long” plate are middle and short plates that help to fine-tune the Ackermann angle during cornering. While the standard “2-slot” plate creates a mild steering response the optional 1-slot and 0-slot plates make for a more aggressive steering feeling with the short 0-plate being the most aggressive, making it ideal for tight and technical tracks. The plates are cut from 2.5mm carbon fibre, they come in pairs and are usable both on the left and right hand steering knuckle.
