Exotek F1R chassis conversion for F104

Exotek F1R chassis conversion for F104

Exotek have released the F1R, the next evolution in the Exotek F1 line of chassis for the F104 and F103. In development since winter 2011 to bring you the best Tamiya chassis option for the rapidly emerging F1 class. Race proven features include a link type rear pod for exceptional rear grip with the pod including ball links and reinforced easy set side links. Optimized battery and electronics location sees the battery, ESC and receiver mounted as far back as possible to maximize the rear weight bias for improved rear traction and stability under acceleration and braking. A new bottom plate only design helps generate more steering response, which coupled with the increased rear traction creates an overall better handling car. A new alloy shock mount not only looks great but it serves a vital function as well. The weight of this part creates more rear weight bias for more on power grip and creates body roll so that it also creates more cornering/ lateral grip. On top of this it provides secure battery mounting and much easier battery removal by simply loosening the 2 mounting screws. The battery can then be lifted straight up and out without interference from the ESC or receiver.

JConcepts Rustler over-tray

JConcepts Rustler over-tray

When racing or bashing on a loamy or top soil track surface the inside of the Rustler chassis can become loaded with dirt or debris which creates extra weight. With the JConcepts over-tray these worries are minimized with the simple and functional over-tray. Fitting nicely under the body it hugs the outside dimension of the Rustler chassis protecting the inside from unwanted excess dirt and debris build-up during racing conditions. By minimizing resting surface area the void and protrusion free design is all about performance.

Team-Powers XPS speed control V1.1

Team-Powers have released information on the updated V1.1 version of their XPS Speed Control. A pretty standard affair, the unit will support all kinds of sensor/sensorless brushless 540 type motors and its XPS Pro and Sport has Turbo mode function that can support modified and stock mode motors directly. To make it easy for users to adapt the settings to all different track sizes and conditions, it comes supplied with an LCD setting card that allows you to adjust the throttle/brake profile parameters directly. For the throttle profile, it can adjust the power band, punch, timing and turbo boost parameter to control the power delivery to the motor. In order to make the ESC lighter, the lower casing will change to plastic but will keep the aluminium casing on the upper side to disperse heat.
