Wallace Motorsports ‘Hall of Fame’ O.S. Speed R21

Wallace Motorsports in conjunction with SMJ and O.S. Speed have developed a limited edition, Wallace Motorsports Hall of Fame R21 to commemorate Ben Wallace, as the first undrafted player to be inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame. This engine is based off of the new Speed R21 Euro II which is intended for 1:8 on-road cars. The Euro Spec engine is known for its power and ease of tuning and the Euro Spec II has improved this. The new R21 Euro Spec II crankshaft has been revised with tungsten weights increasing the overall power and efficiency. The newly designed crankshaft has created a smoother powerband from mid to high RPM. The new cooling head can withstand high temperatures allowing for increased performance.

The 2.0mm aluminium chassis is heavier than the graphite main chassis, allowing for a lower centre of gravity.

Xray RX8 Rear anti-roll bars

Following last week’s release of two new front anti-roll bars for the RX8, Xray has now released updated rear anti-roll bars for their 1:8 Onroad chassis. Available in 2.6mm and 3.0mm options, they have a shape to match the updated bearing bushings for extra smooth movement and offer super fine tuning. Mounting the fixed rear anti-roll bar holders without the eccentric bushing makes the down-stops easier to set.

RC Maker A800MMX Long Rear Steering Arms

Another new release from RC Maker is this latest evolution of their GeoCarbon Rear Steering Arms for the Awesomatix A800MMX which is now longer. Representing similar geometry to that of the new AM23-R arms, these longer arms are between a normal front and rear arm in length, and aim to improve the efficiency of the active rear toe. These longer arms numb down the toe change as the suspension compresses or unloads, which makes the car less volatile. This can be particularly handy on bumpy or tracks with lots of elevation changes. Compared to the standard alloy arms, these are lighter, and offer more flex in the toe axis, which in many cases can give the car more traction. The arms feature a pressed 7075 Alu M3 Threaded Insert, which allow you to directly screw ST24/ST24M/ST24L into the carbon arms. RC Maker recommend using ST24M with these to ensure sufficient thread into the arms. They are CNC machined from 3mm 3K Gloss Carbon Fibre, with tight tolerances to ensure perfect fit onto any version of your AM06 Hubs.

The flex characteristic is different than the kit top deck, and the 2 pieces allows for more flex options, which can be adjusted individually between the front and rear. Machined from 2.0mm graphite material, the shape of the top deck has been specifically designed to achieve maximum traction and great steering characteristics at the same time.
