JConcepts EB410 carbon fibre upper deck

JConcepts adds to the list of performance parts for the EB410 with a carbon fibre upper deck. The new upper deck offsets the position of the fan mount which allows several benefits. The first is the ability to use the JConcepts F2 body as the new carbon fibre part shifts the fan over to clear the low-profile cab of the body. The secondary benefit realised after testing the new upper deck is the ability to use a taller fan. This is a benefit not exclusive to the JConcepts body but to all low-roof body shell types because taller fans are typically more powerful and move more air. Another positive to the JConcepts carbon fibre upper deck is the slight position change of the fan allows some lower power fans to work better without the force of the motor magnets affecting the fan, bearings or rotation.

Answer-RC D8-series short rear shock tower

Coming from Answer-RC is a short carbon fibre rear shock tower for the HB Racing D8 series of buggies such as the D817, D817v2, E817, E817v2 and the D815. The shock stay is made from 5mm carbon rather than 4mm and has pockets machined for shock mount studs and camber link studs to keep the fitment the same. Using the short tower, in combination with #HB67289 shock bodies will lower the overall centre of gravity for reduced chassis roll at high cornering speeds. In addition it is 6 grams lighter than the standard shock tower.

Hudy bumper & body foam spacer set

Hudy have introduced their new bumper and body foam spacer set. Included are 155mm long self-adhesive strips of 1.5mm, 3.0mm and 5.0mm thickness that help to bridge the gap between the body shell and the chassis’ foam bumper. The result is less body deformation at high speeds, less body scrubbing in corners and also improved chassis protection in the event of a crash. The foam strip set is available now.

Xpress Execute XQ1S sport touring car kit

Xpress have released more information on their forthcoming Execute XQ1 sport touring car kit. The vehicle, designed for club-level racers, is based off of the competition XQ1 chassis but features some downgrades such as more cost-efficient black fibreglass parts such as chassis, top deck, shock towers and upper servo mount plate as well as moulded front and rear bulkheads – the latter still of the keyed 1-piece design as are the XQ1 kit’s alloy counterparts. The design will reduce the changes of the chassis assembly becoming tweaked after impacts. Also made from moulded composite are items such as the front and rear lower A-arms mount, however the kit sports competition-inspired items such as left/right thread turnbuckles, a sturdy aluminium motor mount and threaded oil-filled shock absorbers with upper and lower alloy caps and spring preload nuts. The kit is fully compatible with all of the carbon fibre and aluminium goodies of the XQ1, allowing racers to upgrade the car if needed and the kit is set for a release in April.

RC Belgium roll out new option parts

RC Belgium have introduced several option parts for the Schumacher KC and KD as well as the Kyosho Scorpion series of vintage re-release buggies. First up is a belt pulley for the Schumacher KC buggy. The pulley removes the need for the idler gears resulting in a 30 grams weight gain. Other advantages are less friction, a lower point of inertia and faster disassembly of the transmission. Fitment is secured by two grub screws. Also new is a LiPo strap compatible with the Schumacher KC and KD buggy. The new strap uses the original LiPo stops for a secure fit and for additional flex the side pods are not used. Next up is a steering set designed for the Kyosho re-release Scorpion, Beetle, Tomahawk and Turbo Scorpion. Featuring 2 ball bearings, the steering set replaces the original servo saver for a smoother and more durable steering. Last but not last is a carbon fibre rear shock tower for the Scorpion and all respective cars. It features two additional holes for more settings possibilities.
