Surpass Rocket 540 Plus 4-pole brushed crawler motor

Surpass have introduced their all-new Rocket 540 Plus 4-pole brushed crawler motor. The power plant features a 5-slot 775-sized rotor for improved low-speed linearity and increased low-speed torque and it makes use of high-strength and high-temperature resistant neodymium iron boron magnets. Built-in capacitor boards prevent interferences and a thick rotor wire and imported high-quality brushes keep the internal resistance as low as possible. The motor is available in four different winding variants including 11T, 13T, 16T, and 20T and it comes including an 80A speed controller that features active braking for better control on steep slopes and a switchable 6.4V/7.4V 5A BEC system to feed even power-hungry steering servos.

Xray XB8 -2mm front shock bodies

Coming from Xray and made for the XB8’20 1/8th off-road buggies are new 2mm shorter front shock bodies. Using the shorter shock bodies allows to access the lower row of upper shock mounting positions of the front shock tower which is considered a good setup for high-speed tracks. CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium the oversized big-bore shocks have an 18.5mm outer diameter and 16.0mm inner diameter, and they sport a precision-machined thread for convenient spring preload adjustment. The shorter shock bodies need to be used with 59mm shock shafts and they come in sets of two.

Exotek 22 aluminium drag & SC rear body mounts

Made for TLR’s 22 series of 2WD vehicles is Exotek’s aluminium rear body mount set for the use with drag racing or short course body shells. The simpler, stronger, and lighter body mounting system was developed for the rear of the 22SCT 3.0 or 22 buggies converted with street drag bodies. The mounts line up with the stock shock tower holes, attach directly to the vehicle’s quick change shock posts and still allow owners to select any shock tower holes for the shocks. They have to be used with optional stock 22SCT body posts and the mounts are machined from 7075 alloy and anodised black with silver chamfer edges for a low weight of only 8.6g for the set whereas the stock SCT body system weighs in at 21g.

Team Associated 1/10th off-road 1/0.5 arm mount inserts

Coming from Team Associated and made for the all B6 series kits, the B74, T6.1, SC6.1, and B64 1/10th scale off-road vehicles are the new 1/0.5 arm mount inserts. Moulded in black plastic and coming with eight per package, they help to try new settings not previously available with the current inserts. The 1/0.5 inserts help fill in the blanks and give a 0.5 step option where pilots previously only could adjust things in 1.0 steps, 1.0-up or 1.0-corner, filling out the finer settings on the outer perimeter of our current adjustment grid. The new design holds the hinge pin 1 degree (or 0.7mm) offset UP and 0.5 degree (or 0.35mm) offset on or out. When turned sideways, racers can do 1 degree out and 0.5 degree up or down. There is a Type 1 and Type 2 cavity – hole locations must mirror each other – so mechanics must watch when installing to keep them symmetrical.
