Exotek RS7 chassis conversion for TA07

Exotek have introduced their new RS7 chassis conversion kit for the Tamiya TA07 touring car. The lightweight pro conversion carbon fibre chassis set is of a streamlined design and adds many pro features for the venerable TA07 such as an adjustable battery mount set that allows for easy weight bias adjustments for forward or back battery placement. Adjustable carbon battery cups are extra lightweight and adjustable to match any full-size LiPo hardcase pack and adjustable LiPo tabs securely hold in the battery without the need of tape. The 1-piece 7075 alloy motor mount is 4g lighter than stock and lowers the pulleys by 3mm and the motor by 1mm for an even lower centre of gravity and it comes anodised black for improved heat dissipation. Also included in the package is a 2.25mm carbon fibre lower plate that is narrower than the stock chassis for improved cornering and a 2.0mm carbon fibre 1-piece upper plate makes for reduced tweak. Stainless steering posts round out the conversion kit. The conversion chassis and parts weighs only about 122g which is about 50g lighter than stock.

Xray XB2D’19 2WD dirt-spec off-road buggy kit

Xray have introduced the 2019 variant of their popular XB2D 2WD buggy for low to medium grip traction conditions. The Dirt Edition kit includes several new parts and also optionals from stock to make it an all-in-one solution for a variety for track conditions. The buggy utilises a new short wheelbase chassis with updated machining to optimise the flex characteristics with the most important feature being the two different gearbox layouts. Included in the kit is a mid motor gearbox with a high-placed (stand-up) idler gear and slipper for improved traction on low-bite surfaces while the front motor (laydown) transmission is ideal for medium-traction racing conditions. To extract the maximum traction the stand-up gearbox is combined with the included composite shock tower while the laydown gearbox utilises carbon fibre rear tower. Dedicated idler gears, waterfalls, camber link plates, motor mounts, gear covers and battery mounts round out the all-in-one package. Also part of the 2019 package are an ultra-smooth ball differential, new multi-functional rear uprights, longer rear arms, updated rear driveshafts with 2.5mm pins, a 2-pad slipper clutch as well as the all-new Alpha 2 body shell. Hard composite steering blocks, front suspension arms, and upper deck help to find grip in lower traction conditions without sacrificing precision on grippier tracks. The kit will hit stores by the time you are reading this.

Losi Super Rock Rey 1/6 4WD RTR AVC rock racer

Losi have introduced their new Super Rock Rey 1/6th scale 4WD RTR AVC rock racer. The buggy takes its inspiration from full-scale rigs that tackle the King of Hammers and similar places others won’t dare go.

The large tyres and new front end geometry increase suspension travel and improve performance over any terrain. The buggy is equipped with a 4mm aluminium chassis with injection-moulded roll cage and it comes pre-assembled and including a 750kV brushless motor and 160A speed controller.
