Helix Designs RX-491 antenna cover

Coming from Helix Designs are two new antenna mounts for the use with the Sanwa RX-491 receiver. The 3-D-printed parts offer a clean sleek way to hold and protect the receiver’s antenna.

Recommended for medium to small track sizes. Long range holds the antenna upright for a small compact way to make the most range and consistency possible. This comes with the set screw and perfect length antenna tube for the Sanwa RX-491. The latter mount is recommended for the largest of tracks out there.

Exotek RB7 alloy front camber mount & wing stays

Exotek have introduced new aluminium optionals for the Kyosho RB7 and RB6 series of 2WD buggies in the form of an aluminium front camber mount and aluminium rear wing stays. Starting with the front camber link mount, the heavy duty 7075 aluminium construction front bulkhead is of an updated design to accept the RB7 front roll bar and finished with Exotek’s 2-colour black with red chamfer anodising to give any RB7 that extra special factory look. The 1-piece design eliminates the two plastic steering post spacers and includes two M3 set screws to hold in the steering posts for a snug fit. The part is intricately machined to reduce its weight to only 12.4g while insuring its heavy duty construction.

RDRP B74 Slipper Eliminator

Ruddog Distribution have announced the release of the new RDRP Slipper Eliminator for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy. The direct spur gear hub is the ultimate option part for all stock racers as it greatly lowers not only the drivetrain’s rotation masses but also the buggy’s overall weight, making for blistering fast acceleration, lower motor temperatures and thus more power towards the end of the run. The slipper eliminator weighs in at about 17.4g including the supplied ultra lightweight 72T main gear, scrubbing about 50 percent of weight compared to the original slipper assembly it is replacing. Due to its lightweight design the slipper eliminator is best used with motors of more than 10.5T as it will not withstand the power of modified motors.
