Hot Bodies Cyclone Belts & Pulley

Hot Bodies have released a number of new parts for their World Champion 190mm chassis, the Cyclone. The release of 18T pulleys, in both standard and one way versions, give the Cyclone extra cornering traction and are an extra tuning option over the standard 16T pulleys. Use the pulleys to alter the front or rear traction properties of the car by adjusting each end independently, or add 18T pulleys for both front and rear drive belts. To cater for the larger diameter of these 2 new pulleys, HB have also released a new front and rear belt which is longer than the standard versions.

UPDATE: Images of the pulleys can now be seen below.

M Mod MRX-4 Brass Battery plate

M Mod MRX-4X Brass Battery plate

M Mod have released this brass battery plate, joining Serpent in manufacturing a heavweight battery holder to bring the cars center of gravity lower. Suitable for the Mugen MRX-4 range, the new plate is 54 grams and a direct replacement for the original kit version. The advantages of more weight lower in the car is that the car can corner faster, yet due to the batteries central location in the chassis, it doesnt slow direction changes.

Serpent Rear wing Inserts

Serpent has released this pair of rear wing mount inserts for use with the 1/10th scale Protoform Stratus. Suitable for both the 190mm and 200mm body shells, the lightweight clear plexiglass inserts fit neatly into the wing mount towers and because they are threaded they replace the nuts that come as standard with the body. Once mounted they provide protection from the mounting screw being pulled through the body in the event of a crash. This not only prevents retirements due to the wing coming off but also saves you money, as the wing mounts are no longer destroyed.
