Hobbywing XeRun XR10 Pro 1S Heavy Duty ESC

Hobbywing have introduced their new XeRun XR10 Pro 1S Heavy Duty brushless speed controller specially designed for competition 1/12th scale racing. New internals allow for greatly improved heat dissipation even when using low-turn modified motors or when racing in high ambient temperatures while a built-in switch and capacitor module keep wiring as clean as possible while also saving weight. The controller features five pre-set profiles for all sorts of racing conditions, however they can be customised using Hobbywing’s optional WiFi Module and an iOS or Android-based mobile device or a programming box. The internal BEC system with 6V/3A output does away with the need of a separate receiver battery and adjustable throttle and brake PWM frequencies ensure precise throttle and brake control especially in Stock motor classes.

Rebellion-RC mid motor conversion kits – Coming soon

Rebellion-RC have released more teaser images of their forthcoming mid motor conversion kits for the Xray T4, Yokomo BD9 and BD8 as well as the Team Associated TC7.2. The kits centre around the patent pending sliding motor mount design that allows gear mesh adjustment through the chassis bottom, with the narrow design of the whole assembly ensuring the overall motor and battery width remains the same as in the standard cars, creating a very centralised weight distribution and less unwanted chassis roll compared to current mid motor conversions. In addition the design makes for an ultra low centre of gravity while allowing integrated flex settings. The sliding design also ensures a very wide gear mesh adjustment range, fitting up to 48T pinion and 114T main gears, making the conversion ideal for both stock and modified racing alike. Other features include a highest quality PA12 material 3-D-printed diff pulley that is precision CNC-milled for a perfect finish, a precision-machined stainless steel main shaft as well as the possibility to combine all three aluminium colour options of black, orange and natural with Rebellion-RC’s full range of carbon fibre twill colours. Not to be forgotten is a floating motor fan mount that attaches to the motor mount and that ensures lower motor temperatures while not disturbing natural chassis flex. Included with the kits, that are completely made in Austria, also come high-quality Bando Kevlar belts as well as all needed screws and bearings. The conversions are available for pre-order now and they will become available by August 1st.

ARC R11 Mid chassis conversion kit

ARC have introduced their new R11 Mid middle motor chassis conversion kit for the 2019 and 2018 specification R11 touring car. The new layout moves the motor 25mm forward for improved weight balance, helping the car to gain steering and rotation mid corner. The updated motor bulkhead also ensures more event flex distribution between the front and the rear end which further helps with overall balance. The torsional flex of the upper deck and chassis is adjustable by two different flex plates and the new design upper deck can be mounted in two different directions to provide different setup options and a wider tuning window. The set includes the new upper and lower decks, flex plates, motor mount, centre pulleys, belts as well as mounting hardware and it is available now.

RC Maker T4 GeoCarbon servo mount plate

RC Maker have introduce their new GeoCarbon servo mount plate for the Xray T4 touring car. RC Maker’s signature GeoCarbon finish gives a very sexy style to the car, whilst also being stiffer than the original plate. The original plate also has the extension for mounting the bellcrank in the floating position, however this is very rarely used worldwide, so the designers have decided to exclude this for added aesthetics. The plate mounts directly onto the original servo mount bulkhead and fits all models from 2017 to the latest 2019 model. It is more rigid than the original, especially on the 2017 and 2018 models which are thinner than the standard 2019 bracket.
