Power HD M8 & M8 Pro 1/12th pan car servo

Power HD have introduced their new 1/12th Pancar specific M8 and M8 Pro professional edition servos. Prior to release, many international drivers havd already used the servo in the 2022 EFRA European Championships 1/12 including Power HD team driver Michal Orlowski who took double TQ and win at the event. Both versions are the same apart from the mounting option. The direct mount design of the M8 Pro helps to lower the chassis’s centre of gravity, offering stronger precision and locking force resulting in smooth cornering. The servo weighs only 28.6g, even with the full aluminium casing. Coming with 25T stainless steel + 7075 aluminium gear set and the latest PCBA, the servos support various ultra-high-speed modes like SSR, SUR, SXR, SR and SFR. Both servos can work with Power HD programming box, to adjust the servos parameters.

Sagami RC Fab A12 front lower arm

Sagami RC Fab has released a new front lower arm, with a shorter wheelbase, for the Awesomatix A12. By using this lower arm the wheelbase will be shortened by 6mm, the turning ability of the car will be improved and cornering will become more agile. By revising the shape and material, the rigidity is slightly lower than the genuine Awesomatix product, so the car can follow the road surface more flexibly. There are also holes for additional servo posts, which allows the rigidity of the suspension arm to be adjusted. Finally, as there are specific mounting holes for Sanwa and KO servos you can set the optimum Ackerman for each. Servos made by other manufacturers can also be installed using two long holes. When using a knuckle arm with zero-trail, the wheelbase will be 3mm shorter than standard, so the Ackerman will also change.

Exotek lightweight F1 spool set

From Exotek comes this extra lightweight carbon fibre and 7075 alloy clamping spool set for F1 cars with a 1/4 rear axle design such as for the F1Ultra, X1 and Roche. An F1 spool helps eliminate ‘diffing out’ of the rear pod on extra high grip black carpet conditions and gives your F1 more corner exit speeds. This spool also greatly reduces the weight compared to a gear diff or standard ball diff for a cooler running motor and increased acceleration. The sturdy design eliminates any holes in the shaft for increased shaft durability. The spur mount keys directly into the supplied right side wheel clamp and makes for easier gear swaps as well. Also the right side wheel clamp uses 2 screws style clamping which requires less force on the screws for better clamping force.
