Monaco RC 40mm mid motor Air Conveyor

Coming from Monaco RC and made for the latest generation of mid motor electric touring cars is the 40mm Air Conveyor. The electronic layouts of mid motor cars, that swap the position of the motor and speed controller compared to standard “rear motor” touring cars, call for differently designed cooling fan ducts with Monaco RC’s mid motor air conveyor offering cut outs for the fan’s power wires, resulting in cleaner wiring, better looks and improved functionality. The air conveyor is made of 3-D-printed high-quality material and it is usable with standard 40mm fan units.

PSM B74 DTC aluminium main chassis plate

PSM have announced the release of their new DTC Delta Traction Characteristics aluminium main chassis plate for the Team Associated B74 buggy. Developed to improve the B74’s performance, especially in medium to low grip track conditions, the DTC chassis features delta shaped pockets to provide soft torsional flex characteristics along with consistent performance. The soft flex allows the buggy to generate more mechanical grip, which is very helpful in low grip conditions and/or when running on tight and technical tracks. A special coating process provides a stealth black look along with super smooth surface finish. An additional PTFE coating makes for optimised surface gliding characteristics. The chassis features a unique LCG weight distribution system, which allows the owner to add up to 24 optional weight inlays, a total of 34g, at predefined locations with out modifying the torsional characteristics of the chassis or adding up to its original thickness. Thanks to this the driver can fine-tune the balance the chassis pretty easily. The additional brass weights are available in gold or silver colour, depending on the driver’s colour taste.

Tekno NB48 2.0 1/8th nitro off-road buggy – Coming soon

Tekno RC have announced the soon release of their new NB48 2.0 1/8th scale nitro off-road buggy. Utilising a completely new platform compared to the previous .4 kit, the 2.0 prototype was tested extensively by Tekno RC’s world wide team of factory drivers and it will be based on a new 3mm CNC-machined 7075 aluminium hard-anodised and lightened chassis. Other features include independent servo mounts with decoupled battery and radio boxes, CNC 7075 shock towers, pivot blocks, and motor mounts, rear hub and arm inserts for adjustable roll centre and toe, a long arm, narrow pivot suspension geometry, 1-piece wing mount and ultra-lightweight wing as well as a 2nd generation quick fuelling body. More details about the new design will become available soon.

Rebellion-RC TC7.2 MM aluminium main chassis plates

Following first teaser images RC-Carbonstore from Austria have announced the soon release of their new Alu-Crossflex and Alu-Solid aluminium main chassis plates for their Team Associated TC7.2 MM Mid Motor conversion kit. The patent-pending Alu-Crossflex chassis was developed for the use in medium to high-bite traction conditions with its highly machined design allowing optimised flex characteristics that can be greatly influenced with the use of up to twelve optional brass inserts that not only add up to 47.9g of weight in the lowest area of the chassis, but they can also be used to change the overall torsional flex characteristics. The idea was to become able to adjust the weight-balance as well as the flex individually with every insert by using different fixing positions without the need of changing the whole chassis; with a standard chassis being always hard front/rear or soft front/rear, but not hard front/soft rear. When the brass inserts are fixed at a 90 degree angle to the driving direction they almost have no influence to the flex, but if attached using the remaining – cross-positioned – mounting points, the inserts decrease the flex. To make the system work the fixing points for the “hard” setting are 0,3mm lowered to make for a free movement at “flex” setting, and when using the “hard” setting drivers need to insert the included 0,3mm shims to be able to access the desired “hard” flex settings. Both the Crossflex and the standard full face Solid chassis, for high to very high bite conditions, are machined from high-quality aluminium, they come black anodised for wear and looks, feature a laser-engraved Rebellion-RC logo and they are of a conical shape, ensuring increased ground clearance and less chassis scrubbing during hard cornering. The chassis and the optional brass weight inserts are available for pre-order now and will ship from the 30th of September. Beside the TC7.2 MM main plate Rebellion-RC will soon release alloy chassis for their other MM Mid Motor conversion kits.
