Yokomo is releasing new aluminium rear hub carriers for their SO series of 1:10 2WD offroad buggy. Compared to the standard plastic rear hub carrier, the aluminium rear hub carrier is much stiffer, resulting in greater driving stability. They provides a greater sense of stability during jump landings and cornering. As with the standard version, height inserts are fitted to accommodate changes in roll centre and slip angle.
RUDDOG Racing has announced its latest offroad engine offering with the new .21 competition spec RNX.4. Building on the success of its predecessor, the RNX22.3, the RNX.4 has been developed in collaboration with top racers including Marcus Kaerup who ran a prototype stage version of the RNX.4 at the 2024 World Championships in Redovan, Spain, where he secured a place in the A-Main. This latest version features significant improvements in runtime, drivability, and durability, ensuring maximum efficiency and consistency on the track. At the heart of the RNX.4’s improvements is the newly designed DLC-coated crankshaft, which increases durability, and improves fuel flow efficiency for a more responsive and consistent power band. In addition, the optimised internal engine head is specifically designed for the different nitro percentages of fuel used in the EU and international markets, ensuring maximum performance and reliability in racing conditions. Further enhancements include the Revolution Design Ultra Backplate, which improves fuel flow and efficiency, delivering extended runtime and smoother throttle response. Another premium addition is the Revolution Design Ultra Carburetor Dust Cover Seal, enhancing the carburetor’s sealing to protect against dust and debris, prolonging engine life, and ensuring consistent performance in harsh racing conditions.

More from well known RC designer Michael Vollmer and Patrick Morliere project Neo Vintage Racing comes this Cooling Plate for enhanced motor performance. Engineered to tackle overheating head-on, this cooling plate is a game-changer for both stock and modified buggy racing. Crafted with precision, its slotted plate design, coupled with strategically placed air channels, facilitates optimal airflow, ensuring your motor stays cool even during the most intense races. Eliminating motor fade and magnet damage, this cooling plate ensures uninterrupted power until the finish line. The red-anodised aluminium plate doubles as a distance plate, resolving common issues with modern brushless motors, particularly in Kyosho cars like Lazer, Mid Optima, Optima, and Ultima. By creating a safe distance between the motor plate and gearbox, it simplifies wiring and eliminates concerns of soldering tabs interfering with gearbox components.
