Coming from Samix and made for the Yokomo BD9 are new centre balance weights. Coming in 25g, 35g or 45g specification the weights not only up the car’s overall weight when needed, they also act as a battery stopper, preventing the LiPo pack from moving. The weights come machined from high-quality brass material, they are black coated and are a direct fit with the original Yokomo chassis as well as all Samix BD9 chassis plates.
Coming from Spektrum’s new Smart series is a 16A 380W power supply. Robust and powerful, this 380 watt unit easily converts any standard AC current from a 100-240V wall outlet to 16A of clean DC current. Spektrum Smart technology delivers a cooling fan that features on-demand operation to make the unit as quiet as possible and the device also features protection against over temperature, over loading and short circuits. All this power is tapped via a Convenient iC3 output connector.

LRP have announced the release of a full line of X22 Stock Spec brushless motors as well as the introduction of the X22 N.B. 6.5T modified motor especially for non-boosted modified classes. All motors use a precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminium can with the Stock Spec motors featuring additional machining for improved cooling and a lower weight. A machined window makes way for the laser-etched winding marking, ensuring easy identification while the aluminium backplate with machined pockets further enhances heat dissipation. The motors are rounded off by heavy duty solder tabs. As for the X22 N.B. 6.5T Modified motor, the power plant was developed especially with non-boosted modified racing in mind, a new class that ensures exceptional top speeds that are still manageable for us mere mortals. The motor builds on the X22 Stock Spec and features a 6.5T modified winding, an optimised rotor and adjustable 0 to 60 degree timing.
