Muchmore Fleta M8.2 Competition 1/8th BL ESC

Muchmore have introduced the latest incarnation of their Fleta M8 brushless speed controller for 1/8th scale vehicles. The M8.2 features a machined aluminium case with Flow-Max technology for maximised cooling efficiency. The finely ripped heatsink is incorporated into the case for added cooling performance and an additional ultra high RPM cooling fan with aluminium guard further increases heat dissipation when using powerful motors or when running in high ambient temperatures. The M8.2 makes use of Muchmore’s RSS reversible switch system whose optional power switch allows to use the controller with power switch or, with the ESC being always on, switch-less. Also coming with the controller is a triple power capacitor that was designed to assist the latest LiPo technology and deliver a linear throttle feeling.

Xray XB4 2018 1/10th 4WD electric buggy kit

Xray have introduced the 2018 edition of their 2016/17 EOS winning XB4 1/10th 4WD buggy kit. The car, that also is reigning IFMAR World Champion, EFRA European as well as US Champion, received some subtle updates to better cope with the rigours of today’s ultra-competitive Modified racing. First up is a redesigned chassis that accommodates a new, lower motor mount to lower the overall centre of gravity. The corresponding centre bulkhead lowers the position of the centre drivetrain for higher corner speeds especially on high-bite surfaces while the updated side guards add to the all-new low CG setup. In the suspension compartment, improved lower bushings for the shock absorbers allow for smoother and more precise shock shaft movement. The 2018 kit is rounded out by updated front and rear differential crown gears whose greater precision leads to quieter operation and increased reliability.

Rusti Design B6 series rear shock tower spacer

French brand Rusti Design has released a new shock tower spacer for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies. The 3-D-printed part allows to mount the rear shock tower in a more rearward position, such as found of the AE B5M buggy. The updated shock tower and rear wing position will improve the buggy’s balance and traction on lower grip surfaces, which was proved by Antoine Rosetti’s 3rd place at last weekend’s French Cup, and the conversion requires four M3x40mm button or socket head as well as two M3x25mm button head screws for completion. The spacer is usable on both the B6 and B6D buggy.
