Novak silver solder & flux combo

Novak now offers a silver solder and flux combo for convenient solder jobs. The lead-free rosin-core solder contains 3 percent silver for high conductivity, low resistance and strong solder joints at a relatively low melting point. It comes in a 3 metre roll stored in a transparent container to prevent unrolling. Included comes also Novak’s Pro Solder Flux liquid that is ideal for the above solder and all other high temperature, lead-free solder. The fast wicking action of the flux makes for quick and easy solder joints with perfect results when using stubborn lead-free solders. It comes in a 10ml bottle with easy-to-apply dropper tip.

Zen Racing Zen-RS conversion kit

Zen Racing introduce the Zen-RS conversion kit that has been developed to offer the 1/12th racer a wider tuning window and a more neutral balance in all grip conditions. A revised pivot location helps the car to have a stable balance and the new chassis layout incorporates a bellcrank steering system. The bellcrank offers a true Ackerman effect, removes all bump steer if required and the new servo placement makes for a better balanced chassis layout. The battery location is adjustable with the pack being held in position by two LiPo braces which can be moved forwards and backwards in three fixed locations. Also included is the Zen adjustable rear pod and a set of front and rear ride height shims making for a perfectly stable race platform. Servo posts, centre shock mount and rear posts are also included in the conversion with a final update in the form of a diff thrust bearing. The thrust bearing and spacer take away the side load from the outer diff ball race offering better consistency and diff action under high loads. To complete the conversion an R5 based front end, side links, rear pivot and side spring set-up, AE centre and side shock, body posts and rear axle are needed.

Xray XB4 2WD buggy kit

Seen as teaser image some days ago Xray now introduce the XB4 2WD mid-motor buggy kit. Based on the European Championship winning XB4 4WD buggy the 2WD kit makes use of around 95 percent of the parts of the all-wheel kit including the main chassis frame and the rear end. The only real difference compared to the XB4 are the aluminium backbone chassis that sports increased kick-up to make for a 2WD-ish castor angle and the front bulkhead including shock tower. The chassis weight distribution with a saddle pack battery mounted in the rear of the chassis combined with front-located electronics and motor is what appears to be the holy grail for 2WD buggy when run on medium to high grip clay, astro and carpet surfaces.
