The set includes two side plates, the charger plate and two aluminium spacers with fasteners.
Hudy have introduced their updated car stands for 1/10th scale on-road and off-road cars that are of a more compact design. Featuring a black powder-coated surface and stylish Hudy graphics the car stands feature a low-profile design that saves space both in the pits and during transport and storage. Upper foam pads ensure the chassis and car stand do not become scratched during use while lower rubber dots prevent the car stand from slipping around on the setup board or pit table. The on-road variant also features four individually marked holes to hold shock absorbers during refilling. The V3 touring, formula and pan car and V2 1/10th off-road car stand are available from now on.
RC Maker have introduced their new 3-D-printed setup station and parts tray. It is constructed from very high quality, 3-D-printed plastic and suits most common setup stations like the ones from Hudy, Arrowmax, or GForce. The tool holds the setup station, toe plate, setup wheels, ride height gauge, turnbuckle wrench, droop blocks and gauge for a more tidy pit setup while the small tray is ideal for setup wheel nuts, body clips etc. The tray also includes durable rubber anti-slip feet.
Coming from Associated Electrics’ new Element RC brand is a 60x120cm pit mat. Made from industry standard black 5mm thick yoga mat material the mat features a bold Element logo printed in white on the narrow edge for easy recognition and brand awareness. The mat is ideal for both the own workshop or when attending events abroad as it easily rolls up, making for convenient transportation and storage.
West Coast R/C Works have introduced their new pan car servo setup system V2. The updated tool was designed based on customer requests and suggestions throughout last year. The outcome of this is the V2 which is machined from 6061 aluminium and hard anodised in black. The V2 will now withstand the hardest use cases. The mounting hole is now M3 threaded which makes mounting it to the car much easier. Usually the servo position and angle of the servo horn or servo safer are set with the eye balling method. This method usually results in inaccurate servo positions and servo horn angle. The new tool is designed to counter this problem and introduce a high repeatability of the servo setup process of today’s RC cars. The setup system is composed of two pan car servo centering tools and one servo straight edge V2. The set contains all necessary parts to install the servo in the center and the desired angle on 1/10th and 1/12th scale pan cars. It fits most chassis with a front end hole spacing of 15mm to 40mm.
T-Works have introduced their new refillable tyre additive applicator pen. Offering 25ml of volume the pen can be filled with your choice of tyre traction compound with the wide applicator brush ensuring evenly soaking of the tyre surface. The semi-transparent design ensures easy recognition of the remaining fill level.

Tips included are: .050”, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 5.5mm nut driver, 7.0mm nut driver. Additional sizes of tips are available.
The new Smart engine brake-in system allows automated engine breaking-in for easier and faster preparation of new nitro engines. The engine will be fixed in the device whose sensors will monitor and control parameters such as RPM, temperature, load and more in order to provide a safe and convenient break-in process without having to dismantle the engine. A glow plug igniter, heater, cooling fan as well as as stater are all incorporated into the unit as is a special TDC function that prevents the system from stopping the engine on the top dead centre which can harm the piston and liner. Instead the unit will ensure the engine will be kept at the bottom dead centre before the start and after the operation, ensuring prolonged parts life. The break-in process is widely customisable in terms of RPM, temperature, load and throttle curve and it can also be monitored using an optional WiFi module and a mobile device.
