RDRP YZ-4 SF alloy steering plate & bellcranks

Revolution Design Racing Products from Germany has introduced two new aluminium option parts for the Yokomo YZ-4 SF off-road buggy in the form of an aluminium steering plate and aluminium steering bell cranks. Starting with the steering plate, the part is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and it replaces the standard carbon fibre part with the alloy plate, improving stability and steering precision. In addition the updated design does away with the kit’s sloppy bushing and shim construction in favour of highly precise ball bearings which results in less play, more precision, an overall improved steering feeling and virtually no wear. The steering plate comes black anodised to match the remainder of the buggy’s alloy parts.

Ruddog clear 25mm double sided tape

New from Ruddog Products comes a clear double sided tape for a wide range of applications. Coming as convenient 100cm rolls the clear silicone tape offers a comparable thickness to standard foam tapes, however it is much easier to remove from the chassis and electronics while still offering loads of bonding strength for demanding off-road and on-road applications. The somewhat thin tape keeps the electronics as low as possible for minimal influence on the car’s overall centre of gravity and at 25mm width it is ideal for speed controllers, receivers, personal transponders and many more.

Coming soon from Exotek are new option parts for the TLR 22T and 22-4 series of trucks and buggies. First up is a 4mm front shock tower for all 22T series stadium trucks. Machined from lightweight USA-made carbon fibre the shock stay weighs in at only 12g, scrubbing nearly 3g of weight. The tower is a heavy duty construction with a factory look and a more robust material than the stock plastic for consistent handling on high grip tracks. The part is designed with reinforced profiles along the mounting holes for added strength and it includes hardware to mount the stock body posts. The tower fits all 22T series trucks but not the 22SCT.

RPM Traxxas VXL-3S ESC cage

RPM have introduced a new ESC cage for the #3355R version of the Traxxas VXL-3S speed controller. The mounting tabs have been reported to RPM as weak and this is why the RPM part eliminates the use of the two mounting tabs on the ESC in favour of a complete cage system that solidly locks the ESC in place. By completely surrounding and capturing the VXL-3S speedo, damage from broken tabs and ejection from the vehicle has been completely eliminated and the cage works perfectly even if one or both mounting tabs on the ESC have already been broken or cut off. Each RPM ESC cage, that is available in black or blue colour, is made from a strong, ultra lightweight blend of engineering grade nylons for exceptional durability.
