RC-Project MBX8 Ergal shock pins

Coming from RC-Project and made for the Mugen MBX8 and MBX8 Eco are threaded aluminium shock pins. They are machined from high-quality Ergal 7075-T6 material and come hard-coated for exceptional wear. A machined groove ensures a secure fitment using an additional M3 grub screw, meaning the pins will stay in place even in harsh racing conditions. The overall diameter of the pins has been optimised to make for best possible fitment of pin, arm and ball. The set includes four directional pins, enough to outfit one complete car.

X-Grip Conveyor cooling fan mount

European X-Grip distributors Mikimodel have introduced the Conveyor cooling fan mount. The 3-D-printed part is made of carbon reinforced material and it weighs in at only 5g, hardly changing the overall weight balance of the chassis. A trick clip takes the fan’s JST connector for a more tidy look and the mount’s design will reduce the operation temperatures of the motor by about ten degrees. The mount is usable with most motor cooling fans.

They are precision machined from ultra-strong U.S. 7075-T6 alloy and finished with a colourful anodising for looks and wear. They replace standard button or flat head screws and thanks to their 4.2mm x 2mm neck they keep the servo in place even after taking a hit on the track. The fasteners are available with 4mm or 6mm thread and they come in orange, dark blue, bright blue or red colour, with the latter two coming as 6mm thread variants exclusively.

Element RC Enduro trail truck builder’s kit

Element RC have announced the release of their Enduro trial truck builder’s kit – the build-it-yourself variant of the newly introduced Enduro trail truck series. At the heart of the Enduro is the new Stealth X gearbox. Although the exterior appears to have a conventional 3-gear transmission look, the inside is far from conventional. The gearbox features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently from the front drive in three levels. Stock overdrives the front end 5.7 percent, option 1 provides a one-to-one drive ratio front to rear, and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83 percent. Feeding the power to the tires are 3-piece telescopic driveshafts with an extruded aluminium centre section, universal front drive axles, and hardened steel ring and pinion gears. For the Builder’s Kit, Element RC include machined steel versions of the 5.7 percent and 11.83 percent transmission gears. The truck will allow for different wheelbase configurations of 12.3, 12.0 and 11.8-inch (313mm, 305mm and 299mm) wheelbases and it comes as chassis-only kit with the electronics, wheels, tyres, body etc. not included.
