Coming from Modify is their new Wind 30mm machined aluminium cooling fan. Offering popular 30x30mm dimensions, that make it usable for both ESC and motor cooling, the fan unit is housed in a CNC-machined aluminium case for durability and looks while the high-performance motor allows for super strong cooling thanks to 22,000RPM at 7.4V input. The fan is available in black/orange, black/gold and black/red anodising and with an universal or ESC plug.
T-Works have introduced a set of aluminium servo saver shafts for the Mugen MBX8 off-road buggy. They are machined from lightweight yet durable 7075-T6 aluminium and come hard-coated for wear. Using the alloy shafts over the kit’s standard steel items will reduce overall weight if needed.
LMR have introduced their new “Star” thumb nuts for the battery retainers of most 1/10th off-road buggies. They are machined from aluminium, come black anodised for wear, and they sport a machined silver star for looks. The knurled design helps to conveniently tighten and undoing the nuts that come supplied as pairs.

Available now from Team C is the TM2 V2 2WD off-road buggy kit for racing on high to very high bite surfaces. The vehicle uses a 7075-T6 aluminium chassis with composite side rails, a low centre of gravity motor mount, and a newly designed slipper assembly. Also included are optionals such as a rear swaybar, carbon fibre front and rear shock towers, 12mm big bore shock absorbers and 7075 aluminium rear arm mounts with inserts. The kit is rounded out by a new design body shell.
Coming soon from Axon is a clear protection film that was designed to fit in the battery area of the chassis plate. Only 0.1mm thick and offering moderate slip, the protection decal is virtually invisible while ensuring exceptional protection from scratches and damages that can occur when dust or dirt collects under the battery pack during a run, ensuring the chassis will look like new for a long time. Due to not sticking to the battery pack, the protective film also only has minimal influence on the natural chassis flex. The product will hit stores about mid-April.

The track is huge and feature-rich and filled with the signature wood jumps that create consistent jump faces and unimaginable flow. The massive straightaway requires monster horsepower and the large venue requires accuracy and technical precision. Combine with the near 24-hour racing format from Thursday on, the PNB is not just a race, but an RC experience unlike any other.
