1up Racing Pro Pit Iron soldering set

The 1up Racing Pro Pit Iron soldering set brings forward the next generation in racer-oriented soldering irons. The Pro soldering iron is small but very powerful and when connected to a 6-cell LiPo or a 24v power source, the iron heats and is ready to use in under 10 seconds. An easy-to-read LCD display offers accurate adjustment of the 100°C to 400°C temperature range. The 1up Boost mode offers a nearly instant temperature increase to 450°C at the press of a button, making easy work of thick gauge wires. The Pro Pit Iron automatically cools to 200°C after two minutes of inactivity to prolong the life of the tip, and shuts down completely after ten minutes of inactivity. The soldering set includes the TS100 Pro Pit iron controller, 4mm and 2mm chisel top, compact M stand, premium solder, DC power cable, XT60 to 4mm bullet plug adapter cable, and a protective travel case.

NathoBuilds B74 & B6 series O-ring battery straps

NathoBuilds have announced the release of their new carbon fibre O-ring battery strap sets for the Team Associated B74 and B6 series of buggies. Starting with the B74 strap, the set offers a secure adjustment of any shorty pack. Unlike the kit carbon strap with two nuts, these battery straps stay secure to the battery pack and make it quicker for the driver to change the pack over. The design allows to change weight distribution with the battery pack back or forward by just swapping the straps over. An O-ring holds the battery secure enough to keep it in place, but also flexible enough to allow for the chassis to flex underneath. The set includes carbon battery straps in three different sizings, two O-rings and stainless steel mounting hardware.

Smokem Racing XQ10 soft-weave carbon fibre chassis

Smokem Racing have introduced their new 2.2mm soft-weave carbon fibre chassis for the Xpress XQ10 touring car. As the name suggests, the soft weave carbon fibre material used significantly increases chassis flex compared to the stock Xpress chassis. This increases the overall grip of the car and widens the tuning window, so the car is hooked up over a wider range of conditions. There are also minor changes to the profile and cutout shapes to further optimise the flex characteristics for the split bulkhead design of the XQ10, to offer greater stability and higher corner speed.
