RC Maker MTC2 brass roll centre shim plates

RC Maker have introduced their all new brass roll centre shim plates for the Mugen MTC2. Changing roll centres on your MTC2 has never been easier, rather than undoing the whole screw and having shims flying everywhere, simply loosen the screw, slide the shim plate out, and install the new roll centre shim plate, and re-tighten the screws. With the ever demanding focus on weight distribution and adding additional weight down low on the mid motor platforms, they decided to produce brass shim plates in the most common thicknesses used today, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.5mm. This gives you a great range of roll centre options to choose from, whilst being able to move weight around your car to adjust the front/rear weight bias.

Exotek 22S heavy duty alloy parts

Exotek have produced a number of new heavy duty, 7075 alloy parts for the Losi 22S Drag & SC cars. Starting with this front camber mount that has been machined to be heavy duty to better hold your geometry settings, race after race. Weighing 15 grams, it retains the stock geometry of the kit plastic mounts and its customised polished black base with silver chamfered accents goes great with your stock plastic parts or factory alloy parts. There is also a new front bulkhead that weighs 16 grams and retains the stock geometry of the kit plastic pivots and has received the same finishing. Finally this 100% CNC machined and vented motor plate sports aggressive slot cuts for less weight that also helps lower the motor temps faster. The slots also help cool down the inner slipper parts by letting cooler air pass through. The extra machining brings the weight down to 14 grams, 6 grams lighter than stock, but the critical motor mounting areas are still intact to minimise flex for solid motor mounting and gear mesh.

MXLR adjustable alloy servo arm

MXLR have created this adjustable alloy servo arm to offer you a strong and reliable height adjustable servo arm which stands up to the highest competition demands. The 3mm range for the height adjustment of the ball stud is a huge setup option which you shouldn’t miss to play with. A higher turning point generates more initial response, while a lower turning point calms down the steering and creates a finer resolution. You are able to set any height between 16-19mm without the need to switch any plates or parts of the horn, which makes it a quick setup change option by sliding the ball stud up or down. The slightly bulkier arm design adds some extra strength and reliability. For the perfect ‘play free fit’ with the servo spline the design utilise a clamping design. Available in two versions, 23T & 25T, the servo arm is machined from high quality black anodised aluminium with silver edges and laser engraved logo.
