German Hitec distributors Multiplex have introduced the HBS-9381TH full metal case servo. High voltage compatible and coming with ultra-durable titanium gears the servo pulls a constant 34kg-cm of torque regardless of the input voltage while at 7.4V input it offers down to 0.14s of transit time. The standard size servo features a powerful brushless motor, dual ball bearings, a full aluminium case and it is usable for a wide range of applications.
Gizmo GZ1 High Traction Conversion Kit
Available now from Gizmo Racing is the high traction carbon fibre chassis conversion kit for the GZ1 touring car. Designed for higher grip and hot weather conditions, the conversion kit uses four aluminium bulkheads and detached side rails as the base for the car. The main area of focus was increased rigidity at the bulkheads in order to provide higher corner speeds in high grip or hot weather. Additionally the newly designed bulkheads move the shock towers to the opposite side of the shocks, allowing for more triangulation of the upper arms which allow for a more rigid structure that is more durable and increases response and durability. The 1-piece bulkheads and carbon fibre upper arm mounts add practically no weight to the car and actually lower the centre of gravity of the the car by moving more of the aluminium at a lower position on the chassis. The rear toe link is also now detached from the upper arm link, leading to easier adjustments and combined with 4-screw access to the diff, the car is now far easier to work on.
RSD BD8 Battery Hold Down System
Reflex Racing have introduced the tape-less RSD battery hold down system for the Yokomo BD8 touring car. The set includes machined carbon fibre battery locators, battery hold downs as well as mounting hardware to equip Yokomo’s latest tourer with a tape-eliminating battery mount. The result are faster and more convenient pit stops while also eliminating any chassis tweak issues associated with using tape to mount the LiPo battery pack.

Soren Boy Holst wins at Danish EP On-road Nats Rd3
The third round of the Danish Electric On-road Nationals was held at the Glostrup Racing Club in difficult weather conditions. Saturday’s practice sessions were interrupted by the unavoidable rain but thankfully the track is known to dry up pretty fast and so a reasonable amount of runs could be completed. Sunday started off dry but the qualifiers again had their wet moments and in the end it was Xray driver Kevin Nielsen who made the best out of the conditions, taking the TQ from Xray teammate Patrick Danielsen and VBC Racing’s Soren Boy Holst.
