Universal drive shafts are now standard, along with a HB moulded nylon wing, longer travel shocks, and a heavy-duty servo saver. New screw-type shock pins feature standard & reverse threads, and are colour coded for easy identification.

KO Propo EX-Next transmitter

KO Propo have dropped their all new EX-Next transmitter and KR-420XT receiver. Equipped with a new standard called ‘XT’ that they claim achieves the fastest communication speed in the industry. An all new control and radio communication software was developed making it about 3 times the speed of the EX-RR. High-speed communication in the XT advanced mode improves the information density that will be sent to the receiver for a smooth and more responsive feeling. The EX-Next also supports ‘XT Telemetry mode’ that uses 2-way communication. When 4S series servos, that support serial compatible, are connected to the B/S port in the new receiver you can use realtime ICS allowing you to easily change parameters of the servos from the transmitter without accessing the car directly. Even using the XT Telemetry mode that is 2-way communication, the high-speed response, while slower than XT advanced mode is still faster than the EX-RR.

More new items from Muchmore who have released their new Cell Master Specter charger and optional discharge bank. The charger features a 4.3″ IPS touch display with a new menu structure designed to be easy to use for all skill levels with the display showing the battery condition very accurately with clear colour and fast response. A real time battery IR view allows you to check your battery condition quickly and easily with the battery resistance monitoring feature. It’s designed for LiPo and LiHV cells and includes an optimal cycle mode to maintain your batteries and guarantee the most power. The Specter cycle mode for stock racers supports 3 cycling functions which lowers the internal resistance to create more performance. This unit now supports 40A charging and, with the optional discharge bank, 40A discharging up to 350W. The discharge bank adds the additional 20A to the discharge performance of the charger, which by itself is 20A. Featuring a full aluminium case, it aids in dispersing the internal heat build up to improve efficiency and user protection. It also sports a status LED which makes it easy to check the current working status of the unit.

Avid Truss 1/8th scale buggy wheel

Avid have released a black version of their Truss 1/8th scale buggy wheel, previously only available in white and yellow. The wheel name is derived from the internal ribbing that uses the strength of triangles instead of having straight ribs. The focus of the Truss starts at the centre of the wheel so the tighter triangles help keep the torque strength right where you want it when applying all your throttle, at the nut. Outer channels remove a little rotating mass at the furthest point but more importantly they help the foam from shifting side to side. The benefit on track is that the car has more stability, especially when you are off power trying to swerve left and right to avoid a wreck or through a set of switchbacks after a high speed section.
