RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon capacitor mount for many of today’s 1/10th scale speed controllers. Weighing in at only one gram, it allows to fix the capacitor to the ESC without any risk of it falling off. Normally the ESC is a very popular place to stick the capacitor to, as it is off the ground and out of the way, however when the ESC gets hot, it releases the double sided tape and the capacitor can move and fall off. The carbon bracket screws between the fan and the heatsink, then allowing to stick the capacitor to the carbon with a much more reliable mount that ensures the double sided tape stays stuck. It can be rotated or flipped to any side of the ESC desired and two versions for 25mm and 30mm fans with up to 3mm screws are available.
Mugen have introduced their new adjustable clamping type aluminium servo horn. Machined from high-quality 7075 alloy material and sporting the company’s distinctive blue-grey anodising, the servo arm is of an adjustable design with the steering link pivot ball mounting locations ranging from 18mm to 20mm. This allows to adjust overall steering throw but also the steering speed. The clamping design makes for additional safety during long mains while also ensures a rock-solid mounting on the servo output gear. The servo arm is available as Sanwa and KO Propo compatible 23T and as Futaba compatible 25T variant.

Coming from Exotek and made for the TLR22 5.0 is an aluminium adjustable alloy rear hub set. The set includes precision machined delrin hub height inserts that allows to set the hinge pin at stock level or raise the hub in 1mm increments for +1, +2, and +3 settings. Tested with team driver feedback, this is a key tuning aid for matching the adjustable differential height as it keeps the axle and bones level when raising or lowering the diff height inserts, making it easier to lower the ride height for high grip conditions. The set is a direct bolt on to the 22 5.0, and 4.0 etc with 67mm bones, with no other modifications or additional parts needed. The default setting matches the 22 5.0 stock geometry, however the two rearmost ball stud holes have been removed as these are rarely used. The hubs also allow for the full wheelbase adjustments similar to the stock hubs. The all-7075 alloy hub construction comes polished and with a black and silver chamfer finish with four machined delrin inserts included and it only weighs one gram more than the hub it replaces.
Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is an aluminium centre pivot plate for the Serpent SF4 formula pan car. Machined from high-quality aluminium for a low weight and exceptional durability the black anodised plate is a direct replacement for the standard part that can crack or break in heavy hits. The black anodised surface makes for cool factory looks while offering added surface protection.
The A2 Tactic body for the popular Kyosho Ultima RB7 is the next addition of 2WD bodies from Leadfinger Racing for 2019. Like the A2 Tactic bodies before it, the RB7 body has an added roof vent that allows for better cooling for today’s sensitive electronics. Running cooler has its advantages and feeding cool air directly over the power house is a welcomed upgrade. Behind that, LFR has designed a top fin that joins into a rear swoop for added stability and increased rear down force. The combination of the two help give the Kyosho Ultima RB7 a balanced and precise feel during mid corner rotation and on power exit. The body comes in clear polycarbonate ready for paint and including two pre-cut Tactic wings, stickers and window masks.
