RC-Cox IF14 alloy steering bellcranks & posts

Coming from RC-Cox and made for the Infinity IF14 touring car are aluminium steering bellcranks as well as a set of chassis-mounted steering posts. The bellcranks are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and they come black anodised and with red edge details for looks. The ball-raced bellcranks improve steering precision and stability for increased response while also allowing for greater steering throw angles. Also new are aluminium steering posts for the chassis-mounted steering configuration. Like the bellcranks, the posts are machined from high-quality aluminium and a red surface treatment and laser-engraved markings make the parts stand out. Using them will increase steering emphasis especially when used in combination with above steering bellcranks. Both parts are available as separate sets.

Schumacher Mi6evo ultra short shock conversion

Schumacher have introduced the ultra short shock conversion kit for the Mi6evo touring car. The conversion provides the car with a lower centre of gravity than the standard kit shocks and towers. Stroke has not been compromised, these shocks and towers actually give more stroke than a standard Mi6evo. The shocks offer enhanced damping characteristics with a new larger diameter while the lower CG reduces the risk of traction roll on high-grip circuits. Included come 3 and 4-hole pistons included that utilise a new improved fixing method using a screw and a new seal pack housing with new O-rings improve sealing to prevent leakage. The kit includes all the parts required to convert to the ultra short shocks, including a new 5.5 turn 1.4mm wire 3.0 (N/mm) Schumacher spring and it has already demonstrated its performance in the hands of Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski with his 3rd place at the ETS Hudy Arena.

Leadfinger Racing XB4 A2 Tactic body shell

Coming from Leadfinger Racing and made for the popular Xray XB4 buggy is the A2 Tactic body shell. It shows design influenced from LFR’s 1/8th scale bodies with an aggressive and sleek style. The windshield has been laid down to remove the steep rake, while at the same time keeping a modern cab forward feel. The top of the cab has an added roof vent for superior cooling that pushes air flow over the centre diff and motor, further enhancing its style and performance. To help keep everything planted, the rear of the cab has the traditional swoop along with added down force ailerons on the top of the side pods. The use of mounting posts have been deleted, and the body has been specifically designed for the use as a velcro only application. The new A2 Tactic body comes in clear with window masks and stickers provided and including two suitable rear wings.

Schelle B6.1 3.5mm carbon motor plate

Coming soon from Schelle Racing Innovations is a 3.5mm carbon fibre motor plate for Team Associated’s B6.1-based vehicles. The laydown motor plate was tested at the OCRC Stock Nationals and won the 40+ class. Schelle took the motor plate up to 3.5mm thick, with a clearance cut for the slipper clutch, so that it would hold the motor rigid while still shaving weight off the chassis. The plate scrubs over three grams of weight and it fits the Layback and Laydown Gearboxes of the B6.1, B6.1D, T6.1, and SC6.1. The plate is available for pre-order now and will become available in early August.
