Yeah Racing Momentum set up system

Expanding their Atsushi Hara Momentum tool line, Yeah Racing have released this complete setup system for 1/10th touring. The setup system has been redesigned from their previous iterations to give racers even more accurate measurements. They have incorporated bearings to keep everything smooth so the friction of your setup surface will not prevent the setup system from getting an accurate measurement. They have also given it that distinctive black and purple finish and even managed to make it more lightweight.

MXLR caster correction stickers

MXLR noted that there are a few 1/10 TC setup systems out there which have the incorrect caster scale engraved on them. If the scale is too narrow, its one of the incorrect versions, and your caster setting isn’t actually the number it displays. With these MXLR Caster correction stickers you are able to fix your caster scales without the need to buy a whole new system. They are precisely printed and cut for a perfect fit to the setup system. As a small extra, they added FL, FR and RL, RR marks on the stickers to increase the consistency of your setup procedure by using the same setup system part always in the same spot. Two versions for different Setup Systems are available, for Hudy 1/10 TC Alloy System and for the G-Force & SkyRC 1/10 TC Alloy System.

Yeah Racing Momentum tweak wheels

Further additions to Yeah Racing’s Atsushi Hara Momentum line-up with the release of these tweak wheels. Accurately check if your 1/10 touring car has any form of tweak with this set of bearing supported weighted setup wheels. Place your car on a flat surface and have the weights spun on their side. Slowly lift your chassis and if a side rotates first it means that corresponding side is tweaked and you need to adjust your spring preload accordingly.

RC Maker MTC2 bulkhead alignment multi-tool

RC Maker have introduced their bulkhead alignment multi-tool for the Mugen MTC2. Featuring a similar design to the original MSE plate, it allows MTC2 drivers to align their bulkheads square, which is absolutely crucial to having a square car. Because the caster is ultimately determined by the upper bulkhead angle, any inaccuracy from the bulkhead alignment will be transferred through to the suspension. The multi tool locates onto the keyed areas of the bulkheads and then attaches with via M3 Button head screws. It can be used with an assembled car, all that needs to be removed are the upper bulkheads and diff/spool. They have also included some other cool features into the tool such as a quick bulkhead width checker, which can be slid in under the rear body mount or front bulkhead brace to quickly check if you’ve got any alignment issues. The other cool feature is the track width measurement, simply align one side with the edge of your tire, and see what measurement the other side is reading. A basic, but cool integration which will come in handy when testing and tuning at the track.
