LCG Racing T4 2020 1mm top deck spacers

LCG Racing, the new start-up of Nicholas Lee and Carl Groessel, have introduced their new 1mm carbon fibre top deck spacers for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. The slide-in spacers allow for quick and easy adjustment of the car’s flex characteristics and the three-hole design makes them usable even with the ARS ball studs installed, in which case normal shims do not fit. The shims work by inserting them between the top deck and the bulkheads which increases the overall chassis flex, allowing the car to be more forgiving and easier to drive. They are made of high quality carbon fibre, come in sets of four and are available now.

IGT8 988E drag assisted one-way

Available now from IGT8 and made for the Serpent 988E 1/8th scale electric car is the DAO drag assisted one-way set. The system works with silicone oil to increase the internal friction that slows down the motion of the front wheels when being off throttle. This effect will improve braking, steering at corner entry and it will also help with more consistency and faster lap times. The set includes the needed one-way pulley and it only fits the electric-powered 988E kit.

Exotek pan car ride height gauge

Exotek have introduced their new long reach style ride height gauge that makes for much easier ride height measurements for pan car style chassis cars. The longer reach helps to clear the LiPo battery and side links so that the ride height is not skewed by the gauge hitting the battery and links. The 2-sided gauge measures from 3.5mm to 6mm and it is made of precision machined alloy.

Phat Bodies Vee 1/10th buggy wing

Phat Bodies have introduced their new Vee wing for 1/10th scale 2WD buggies such as the Team Associated B6 series and the Schumacher Cougar Laydown. Used by Martin Owen to win the 2019 South West regional off-road series the 165mm wide wing features a low profile rake at the rear section which gives sufficient rear downforce but its lower drag feature, when trimmed to recommended cut lines, ensures low rotation around the rear axle which in turn reduces front end lift common on most buggy wings. In addition the V design aids stability and stiffening ribs reduce flex giving a more consistent feel at higher speed. The wing is recommended for fast high-grip tracks and it is made from high quality 1mm Lexan polycarbonate with a lightweight 0.75mm version being available on request.

Spektrum SR6110AT 6-channel AVC telemetry receiver

Spektrum’s SR6110AT 6-channel AVC telemetry surface receiver features a specifically tuned AVC stability algorithm to produce the best driving experience for speed run, stunt and basher vehicles. The SR6110AT will better help drivers manage drifts and slides as well as creating a more predictable transition between reverse and forward throttle when performing reversing manoeuvres. Featuring an extended 228mm antenna it gives drivers ample amount of wire to get the antenna up and away from the surface and the electronics. This is perfect for retaining connection to low to the ground speed and stunt bashers, even when pushing the limits of their driving range. The receiver is compatible with DSMR and DSM2 Spektrum transmitters and it offers full-range telemetry capabilities with Spektrum Firma Smart ESCs.
