Tamiya introduce first M-08 Concept optionals

Tamiya have introduced first option parts for the forthcoming M-08 Concept M-chassis kit. First up are front and rear carbon fibre shock towers that will replace the standard moulded composite parts. Machined from high-quality 3mm material the shock stays also offer addition upper shock mounting positions, four instead of two in the front and six instead of three in the rear, for added adjustability. While being of a low weight the towers also improve suspension efficiency due to being a lot sturdier. The shock towers are available separately and they come including mounting hardware.

Team Associated B6.1DL 2WD buggy kit

Team Associated have introduced their limited edition B6.1DL 2WD buggy kit developed for racing on very high bite tracks where a forward mass is beneficial and chassis roll needs to be tamed through a low centre of gravity. The B6.1DL has a Laydown Stealth transmission that gives the car additional traction when exiting the corners. The addition of +1 Ackermann plates and gull wing suspension arms tune the steering for a razor-sharp feel and more control. The B6.1DL features the B6.1’s easy-access differential, diff height adjustability, and an all-new slipper along with a lightweight JConcepts body shell and wing.

Smart engine break-in system

The new Smart engine brake-in system allows automated engine breaking-in for easier and faster preparation of new nitro engines. The engine will be fixed in the device whose sensors will monitor and control parameters such as RPM, temperature, load and more in order to provide a safe and convenient break-in process without having to dismantle the engine. A glow plug igniter, heater, cooling fan as well as as stater are all incorporated into the unit as is a special TDC function that prevents the system from stopping the engine on the top dead centre which can harm the piston and liner. Instead the unit will ensure the engine will be kept at the bottom dead centre before the start and after the operation, ensuring prolonged parts life. The break-in process is widely customisable in terms of RPM, temperature, load and throttle curve and it can also be monitored using an optional WiFi module and a mobile device.

RC Maker GeoCarbon touring car tweak wheel set

RC Maker have introduced their all-new GeoCarbon tweak wheel set for EP and GP touring cars. The super lightweight wheels weight in at only 2.2g each and are precision machined to minimum tolerances to help de-tweak the car. Consisting of a less than half of a normal setup wheel construction, they serve the purpose of checking the tweak via lifting the chassis off the ground at one end only, and making sure the wheels leave the ground at the same point, being an extremely common way to de-tweak an on-road car. Using precision machined parts is far more accurate than using a normal wheel and tyre, and more accurate than a normal rubber O-ringed setup wheel. Having no buffer between the wheel and ground makes it far easier to feel when one wheel is lifting up earlier, as drivers can feel the abrupt bump on the setup board. This leads to more accurate and faster setting of tweak.

T-Works MP10 30mm lightweight brake discs

Coming from T-Works and made for the new Kyosho MP10 and older MP9 TKI4 and TKI3 buggies is a lightweight brake disc set. The 30mm discs are precision-made and offer a vented design for less brake fading even in long mains and when running in high ambient temperatures. In addition the reduced material plates are also very light, making for quicker spool-up and acceleration. The brake disks come in sets of two and they are a direct fit.
