Reds report that they introduce some updates to their R series buggy engines in order to increase reliability and performance, and to lower the fuel consumption. The R5T will come with the long needle carburettor that is already being used for the R5 engine. The part improves fuel economy and guarantees a linear power output. The updated R5 will come with a completely redesigned crankshaft, in order to guarantee higher performance and efficiency. Compared to the previous crankshaft, the general surface finishing has been improved in order to provide a better fluid dynamic. Moreover the red silicone filling reduces weight and the rotating mass.

Novak release two new brushless controller and motor combos based on the GTB 2 X-Drive and the company’s Ballistic competition BL motors. The GTB 2 X-Drive is a sensor-based controller for top-level non-timing racing, and sport a low-profile heat sink, Novak’s X-Drive firmware for improved throttle feel, smooth braking and cooler running temperatures as well as build-in low-voltage protection for LiPo and LiFe battery packs. The combo sets are available with a Ballistic 8.5T or 17.5T “blinky” class sensored brushless motor.

Airtronics introduce the TLS-01 telemetry data logger to real-time display and record parameters like temperatures, speed, RPM, steering and throttle input and more. Compatible with the MT-4 2.4GHz telemetry transmitter and – with limitations – also the M11X, MX-3X, and other Airtronics FHSS3 surface systems, the data logger gives you knowledge of how the car handled and even how you drove and allows to compare data in a spreadsheet or database environment on a computer via Airtronic’s Windows-compatible interface system.

Xray have a new progressive spring set for the XB808 off-road buggy available. The ultimate-match front and rear springs sport progressive characteristics for a soft initial feel and increasing hardness while the spring compresses. This makes for a sensitive damper behaviour but enough stiffness to retain a precise overall feeling. The springs are recommended for medium-high traction tracks, are available as a pair, are measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. The front progressive C=0.7-0.8 mimics a hardness 0.7 spring at the beginning of the compression and a hardness 0.8 spring at the end. The rear progressive C=0.5-0.6 behaves like a hardness 0.5 to hardness 0.6 spring.
