CSO T3 2012 servo mount

CSO have produced this new aluminium servo mount for the Xray T3 2012 touring car. Suitable for CSO’s aftermarket T3 chassis, the servo mount is attached only to the centre of the chassis so the servo and the outer edge of the mount don’t touch, and aren’t connected, to the chassis allowing the chassis to flex more evenly without restriction.

PL Slayer Flo-Tek, Square Fuzzies & 1:5 Blockades

Pro-Line have released the Flo-Tek designed specifically for your Traxxas Slayer Pro. The Flo-Tek was the first SC body specifically designed to minimize the short-course body parachute effect. Featuring futuristic styling coupled with large vent holes that allow air to flow through eliminating aerodynamic drag. The locations and size of the vents were designed to maximize air flow through the body while keeping the aggressive and high-tech look. The all new and improved Square Fuzzie is now available for your SC Truck and features countless square micro-pins laid out in a traction inducing grid pattern that will stick to the track like Velcro. The long center bars provide tons of forward bite and improved wear over the Original and are ideal for any indoor/outdoor hard-packed dirt track where bar-type tires are not getting the job done.

Avid vented motor plate for B4.1 & TLR22

Avid RC have released this new vented motor plate for both the B4.1 and TLR22. Take advantage of the unique design of the Avid vented motor plates to improve your buggy or truck. The design team wanted to remove as much weight as possible up high, so they created the 45 degree angled vents which cut completely through the part which removed weight and added much-needed airflow around the motor-plate, yet still maintaining a rigid motor plate to keep gear mesh consistent. 100% milled which avoids all the extra stress that comes from stamping parts in order to keep the motor plates flat and your gear mesh perfect. Each plate is made from black anodized 3mm 6061-T6 aluminium with silver chamfered edge.

JConcepts Finnisher for MBX-6R

JConcepts have announced the release of their Finnisher body for the Mugen MBX-6R. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have a strong and chiseled look, including a recessed area in the rear which allows another option for air-escape. The chassis side-guard to body fit has been tightened up which helps eliminate large empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The area behind the cab has been greatly lowered exposing more of the engine heat-sink allowing more heat-escape.
