EXO Design YC-870C Shock Mounting Point Extension Set

Buggy conversation specialist EXO Design has created this Shock Mounting Point Extension Set for when using big bore shocks on the Yokomo YC-870C/YZ-10. As big bore shocks needs more room to clear out from the arms, using washers on a single mounting point will cause mounting screw to bend easily due to huge torque. EXO Design’s shock mounting point extension set solves this issue by using double mounting points on the arm, and create a more solid and durable mounting position without compromising setting options.

KO Propo Electrical Switch 4

Japanese radio and servo manufacturer KO Propo has announced the upcoming release of its latest electronically controlled power switch the Electrical Switch 4. With a new case size that is about half that of the Electrical Switch 3 the switch is intended for use on GP powered cars. A CPU memorises the power status (ON/OFF), so it can prevent power-off caused by connector connection failures due to vibrations specific to gasoline engine cars or momentary disconnections during overload. It features a full-colour LED to display the battery mode (cut-off voltage) and remaining battery power. This allows you to check the switch status at a glance and with high-intensity LED used it is easy to check even outdoors. The switch comes with two types of bottom cases included, one with fixing holes and one without, so you can switch between them depending on how you install it.

Leadfinger Mini-B Retro-mod body

Having released a Retro-Mod body for the 1:24 Losi Micro-B back in October, Leadfinger Racing has produced a Retro-mod body and wing for the larger 1:16 Losi Mini-B. Pushing the buggy body styling of the 1980 through the Retro-mod hastag, the South Carolina based Offroad bodyshell manufacturer is planning to expand its offering of Retro-mod bodies to some of the current 1:10 buggy brand offerings currently on the market. Modern bodyshell design, both in offroad and onroad, is always a subject that divides opinion with many feeling the current offerings are nothing like the real category which they are supposed to be based off. Earlier this week JConcepts’ new retro body release, the Protector for the Team Associated RC10B7, was met with a positive reaction.
