The Motiv RC, the brand set-up by former international onroad ace Paul Lemieux, has released this quick connect motor chamber for use with the Hobbywing or Motorlyser motor analyser. The unit comes pre-wired with an extended 2Ft wire for easy use in connecting your motor to the analyser. It also includes an extended 2ft sensor wire.
Bittydesign has unveiled its all new ‘A45’ 190mm FWD body shell. This project was born from the desire to create a new body that could gather the experience accumulated with our previous FWD bodies but with different aerodynamic solutions in order to obtain the maximum possible performance for this category. The body shell is universal and mounts on all 1:10 190mm models, both those specially developed by the manufacturers for the front-wheel drive (FWD) category and also those with traditional 4WD chassis (touring). Thanks to the aerodynamics fine-tuned to obtain excellent entry and smoothness when cornering, the driver will immediately feel a very positive driving feeling that will allow to push the pace and maintain it for the entire 5 minutes. If the main intent was that of performance alone at the expense of aesthetics, the finished project resulted in a body with a breathtaking look, with TCR-style widened wheel arches and a harmony of shapes and proportions that make the CA45 both beautiful and fast.
US RC Drag Racing Specialists Exotek Racing has introduced a new Version 2 hinged design of their popular single wheelie bar concepts for Traxxas Slash based drag chassis. Extra long 13.5″ from wheel axle to axle with 3mm thick carbon fibre wheelie bar that includes their heavy duty machined titanium turnbuckle that controls the height and angle of the bar and a new heavy duty alloy mounting base. The wheelie bar is now hinged for easier height adjustments and has limitless adjustability through the turnbuckle system. New updated double bearing alloy wheel holds in the new wider and stronger foam tire. The new caged mounting plate protects the tire and wheel and insures straight line performance.
RC Drift manufacturer ReveD has released a number of new optional parts for its RDX chassis. The first of these is the EZ Type Wheel Hub Series that can be attached to the rear axle. Compared to the plastic rear hub that comes standard with the kit, the use of aluminium improves the accuracy, and by combining it with the Φ6.0mm axle, it effectively suppresses core shake and allows for smooth rotation. In addition, by holding down the pin that fixes the hub with an O-ring, it stabilises the rotation and prevents the pin from coming off when the wheel is attached or detached. It also reduces stresses when changing wheels. Two types are available: 5.0mm and 7.0mm.
Redcat’s has released it’s popular LRH285 chassis as a slider in response to a growth in the RC lowriders scene. This is the same chassis used on the popular Redcat SixtyFour and FiftyNine hopping lowriders but with lots of chrome. Called the LRH285 Designers Show Kit, it includes an overwhelming amount of chrome parts making it the perfect kit for those who want to create their own show-worthy custom RC Hopping lowriders. Redcat lowriders are designed for slow cruising and performing hopping lowrider tricks that are possible because of the purpose built LRH285 chassis, which uses a realistically simulated hydraulic suspension. The LRH285 chassis replicates the unique movement of a full-size hopping lowrider. The LRH285 Designers Show Kit is a fully assembled slider and includes a LRH285 hopping lowrider chassis, brushed motor, servo horns, mounting hardware for your electronics. The kit is made to give builders an opportunity to craft their very own custom lowriders, so it does not include a body, wheels, tires, radio system, ESC, servos, battery or charger.

Coming from Creation Model is this new front bumper for the Infinity IF15/IF15W 1:10 Nitro Onroad Chassis. The shape of the bumper tip has been changed to match the body shell used in the latest racing scene. The addition of ribs to increase the rigidity of the bumper has resulted in more efficient aerodynamics and improved manoeverability, especially at high speeds. The bumper plate has also been reshaped to improve crash resistance.

Corsatec has released its first 1:10 racing Electronic Speed Control, the CTX-10RS. Developed with best performance, consistency and reliability in mind, it features a light-weight CNC alloy fan and case to achieve the lowest centre of gravity possible. The new ultra lightweight super-cool fan-case combo design maintains operating temperatures at lowest levels, while our XSS-HDT grants immaculate control to the Racer in on-road and off-road applications. Combined with Corsatec’s Intelligent Data Electronic Algorithm Logging (IDEAL) and the wireless remote programming options via our own Corsatec APP, racers can fine tune each setting to perfection and optimise their drive feeling. Lower operating temperatures, low centre of gravity, easy installation and software settings updates to share from their World Championship winning Team drivers will let you experience the ultimate drive feeling.

Continuing its release of option parts for its ONE electric touring car, German brand Iris has added a 2.0mm Aluminium Solid Chassis. Developed specifically for high-grip tracks like ETS or CRC black carpet, the chassis stiffens up the front of the car, while also lowering the centre of gravity of the car, which makes it more predictable and easier to drive in such high-grip conditions.
