Nosram Comet Evo & HD speedos

Like the new LRP Flow speedo but prefer red then try the Nosram Comet. Following two years of hard work and designed from scratch, the new Comet speedos are based on a completely new platform replacing the three popular Pearl Evo Version 2 speedos. Racers can use the Comet speedos for modified and stock racing, offering a multitude of setup options. Optimised cooling, extremely high power output over the entire RPM range and simple but flexible adjustability are only some of the highlights that make the new Nosram Comet speedos stand out. The unique software, a heavy copper 8-layer powerboard and the compact 2- piece machined aluminium housing have never been seen in a brushless competition speed control before. Its construction from thermo-conductive aluminium makes the case highly efficient for cooling.

Titan ARC R10 double-joint CVDs

Titan RC have released this latest option part for the ARC R10, a pair of double-joint CVDs. The shafts are made from hardened spring steel, which is super durable and provides a smoother transmission on the R10.

Associated 12mm clamping wheel hexes

Team Associated’s Factory Team aluminium 12mm clamping wheel hexes clamp securely onto the axle, preventing the hex from getting stuck in your wheels, which allows for speedy wheel changes. The hex adapters are CNC machined out of 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized Factory Team blue. The 12mm hexes use a 2-56 Socket Head Cap screw (included), which allows for the use of either a 5/64″ or 2mm Allen wrench. The hexes make a great upgrade for your SC10, or to convert your B4.1 or B44.1 to Team Associated’s new 12mm hex wheels.

Based on the full race version of the Cobra buggy and sharing the race genes, geometry and most technical features, the Sport version features some less expensive materials, without suffering performance wise. With its superior suspension, race geometry, high performance diffs, bigbore shocks and race-clutch, it is already highly specced. All parts and options of the high end race version fit this Sport version too, so a step by step upgrade is possible.

Xray NT1 progressive springs

From Xray for the NT1 these new progressive springs are soft at the beginning of the compression but become harder as the spring is compressed more in the middle, with the hardest at the end. Pearl-grey color and laser engraved for easy identification they are available as a pair, with the springs individually measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. During the selection process, each spring is compressed in several fine increments and the values are recorded. Each spring is then matched with another spring of identical characteristics.
