T-Works XB4’17/18 front CVD sets

T-Works have introduced two sets of front CV-style driveshafts for the Xray XB4’18 and ’17 buggies. Available as standard or special “left thread” set, the driveshafts are made form high-quality steel for durability while the machined wheel axle shafts ensure a good bearing fit. The sets are direct replacements with the left thread set, utilising a single left thread wheel axle, being made to reduce the chance of loosing the wheel nut as it will self-lock during use.

Picco V1-3518 & S1-1218 nitro engines

Coming from Picco are the new V1-3518 Team DLC Ceramic and S1-2918 Team nitro engines. Starting with the V1-3518, the power plant is an updated version of the engine that won last year’s 1/8th Buggy Euros in Sweden. The 5-port cylinder, paired with the long stroke design, provides plenty of power throughout the whole power band. The crankshaft received an DLC treatment in order to increase its durability even in the most demanding off-road situation and it rotates in a Swiss-made ceramic rear bearing. The carburettor sports the latest double bottom-end adjustment for fine-tuning and improved reliability and the engine is rounded out by a new cooling head design.

Castle Creations Sidewinder 4 BL speed controller

Castle Creations have introduced the fourth generation of their popular Sidewinder brushless speed controller, the Sidewinder 4. The all- new and improved ESC builds upon Castle’s most popular platform – the Sidewinder 3. The the fourth generation is the first platform running Cryo-Drive technology which reduces operating temperatures in all applications as it is a combination of software enhancements and precision fluid dynamics. The new case is designed specifically for maximum airflow from the huge 30mm fan included with the Sidewinder 4. These changes result in cooler ESC temperatures, increased runtime and power handling. All of these improvements mean drivers can gear more aggressively for more speed and harder/longer runs. The speedo is still waterproof and compatible with the optional Castle Link USB programmer. The speed controller is available separately or as combo package with a range of 14xx series motors.
