Sanwa MT-4S 2.4GHz radio system

Sanwa introduce the MT-4S 2.4GHz radio system, the follow-up model of the popular MT-4 intermediate level transmitter. The latest incarnation offers a blue back-lit screen for improved visibility of all relevant parameters during usage and setup plus Sanwa’s SSL technology allows to adjust the Super Vortex speed controller and SGS-01C gyro via the transmitter. When used in FH4T modulation the MT-4S now also is nearly as fast as Sanwa’s current M12 top-of-the-foodchain radio while offering 18 model memory, telemetry functions and the usual array of mixes and servo setup options. The radio comes including a RX-472 receiver and will become available very shortly.

Team C T8T carbon A-arm stiffeners

Team C Racing introduce these carbon fibre A-arm stiffeners for the T8T truggy kit. The parts are machined from strong carbon material and designed to reinforce the lower A-arms of the T8T line of trucks when running on very high grip surfaces or in high ambient temperatures. As details on the parts are a bit vague we think you may need to drill the needed mounting holes in the arms on your own but maybe there is a running change on the T8T arms so they come drilled from stock.
