Xceed have released their on road set-up systems. Available in versions for 1/10 scale onroad electric and nitro and 1/8 scale onroad, they have been machined from top quality and finished with nice green anodizing.

The 1/10 set also has a pre-set for the rubber tyres and purpose made wheel nuts for faster assembly. The top plates are made from strong polycarbonate, instead of acrylic glass, and all the sets come supplied in a foam padded Xceed set-up bag for protection and with clear instructions.
The new Core RC Sensor Widget is a fantastic tool for anyone who runs a brushless set up. As experienced users will know sensors in brushless motors and sensor wires are a problematic area and cogging and non starting is a common issue. This simple sensor widget makes testing the sensor signals from a brushless motor quick and easy. Most common faults can be detected and prevent wasted track time. In addition to testing the signals from the motor, it can also be used to check sensor cables for damage. Simply plug motor and sensor wire into the connector on the right side of the widget and view the LED light sequence to determine a fault. No external power source required.
