Xray X12’16 1/12th scale pan car kit

Xray X12'16 1/12th scale pan car kit

Xray have officially introduced the 2016 specification X12 1/12th scale pan car kit. As explained by Alexander Hagberg in our exclusive interview and making-off feature, the car features some subtle changes and refinements to create a car that is faster and easier to maintain and setup. The backbone of the 2016 car is a redesigned 2.5mm carbon fibre chassis with optimised flex characteristics to allow for precise handling while being soft enough to generate the grip needed. Pre-drilled mounting positions for composite battery stops help to securely fasten 1S LiPo batteries both in a longitudinal and transversal position and the high-grade graphite material generates perfect stiffness for both for indoor carpet and outdoor asphalt racing.

Axial AR60 OCP full width axle adapter set

Axial’s new AR60 OCP full width axle adapter set widens the AR60 axles, creating an equal front and rear track width on 1/10th scale Yeti vehicles. This enables the use of any 12mm wheel to be used on the 1/10th scale Yeti without the use of special wheel adapters. The kit comes with extended steel axles, black anodised aluminium axle housing extenders, four cartridge bearings and all necessary hardware and it is compatible with all vehicles using AR60 axles such as the Yeti, Wraith, Wraith Spawn, AX10 Ridgecrest, and AX10 Deadbolt.

Schumacher CAT-K2 4wd buggy

At this weekend’s 2015/16 EOS season opener at the Nurburgring in Germany newly crowned European Champion and top Schumacher driver Michal Orlowski is debuting the new Schumacher 4WD Buggy, called CAT-K2. The main goal in developing the car has been transferring the weight distribution concept from their 2WD on to the new 4WD buggy, keeping the motor centred and moving it as forward as possible while obtaining a narrower car. The layout also allows the user to choose from 5 different battery positions, using a saddle pack or a shorty. The transmission is now completely straight and allows the use of the FAB (Front Adjustable Brake) System, while on the suspension only some small details have been changed.

Vision Racing micro tune RB6 carbon fibre shock tower

New from Vision Racing comes the micro tune shock tower for Kyosho’s RB6 2WD off-road buggy. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre the shock tower incorporates in-between holes for the upper shock mounts, making it a total of five per side, while the tower can also be raised by 2mm thanks to a second mounting position for an even wider range of setups. On top of that a redesigned centre section makes for improved airflow towards the body.

MIP Rollers D413 drive system

Coming from MIP and made for the HB D413 4WD buggy is the all-new Rollers drive system. Based on the design ideas of the rebuildable Pucks system for 2WD buggies the Rollers offer better wear characteristics for demanding applications such as 4WD buggies while being completely rebuildable at the same time. The design revolves around replaceable tubes that offer a larger surface than conventional pins and due to their softer material they are also less harsh on the outdrives as they wear faster than the steel parts while being much cheaper to replace than a full driveshaft. The sets are available for the front and the rear of the D413 and they include new shiny driveshafts, the rollers and new steel outdrives.
