MW RC Cars have introduced the new SPower S6 Pro Tuned 3.5cc nitro off-road engine. Manufactured by Picco the power plant is of a 5-port design with multi exhaust system for exceptional bottom end power, something that is crucial for today’s track designs. While offering loads of low-RPM power the engine still develops well balanced mid and top end power and drivability, all combined with stable tuning and high fuel economy. The features list includes a new, balanced and silicone-filled 14mm crankshaft for improved overall performance, a larger, more efficient cooling head, a new crankcase design for better clearance with a range of flywheels as well as a super strong knife edged conrod, lightened piston and a Swiss-made rear bearing. The engine is usable in buggy and truggy racing and it is available now.

3DRC have introduced two new products in the form of the 40mm Fan Booster for 1/10th off-road buggies and a super light slipper nut set for the Team Associated B5 and B6 series of vehicles. Starting with the Fan Booster, the 3-D-printed part accommodates most 40mm fan units and it makes for more efficient motor cooling thanks to channelling the cooling air towards the motor can. The fan mount is of a heatsink design for cooler looks and it works with many of today’s off-road buggies.
T-Works have introduced a set of anti-slip battery foams. The strips measure 110x25mm and they are cut from 0.5mm thin material to keep the battery pack as low as possible. Using the foam underneath hardcase LiPo batteries keeps the packs from sliding around, retaining the car’s weight balance even when the going gets touch. The foam strips are usable not only with touring car chassis but also other on-road and off-road vehicles. The set contains two pieces and it is available now.
Made for Team Associated’s V2 1/10th scale shock absorbers are Avid’s 12mm V2 shock pistons. The machined and highly precise V2 pistons offer a conventional setup with square 90 degree edges and a tight fitting design for reduced blow-by, resulting in improved damping efficiency and accuracy. The pistons fit the screw-type V2 12mm shocks and they are available as 2×1.6mm, 2×1.7mm, 3×1.4mm and also a blank version in sets of two pieces.
