Yokomo BD12 ATF Stopper and 1.5mm top decks

Yokomo has introduced an ATF stopper and new 1.5mm top decks for their recently released BD12 1:10 Electric Touring Car. The ATF Stopper, which also works on the BD11, eliminates Yokomo’s active top deck flex from flexing. While the ATF has proven to be a key feature of the both the BD11 & 12 cars, on certain tracks having the ATF ‘fixed’ can improve corner speed and stability. The 1.5mm front and rear top decks for the BD12 are softer than the standard kit version thus provide a softer top deck for more flex and increases overall traction.

Ielasi Tuned ‘Tight Fit’ cylinder puller

Ielasi Tuned has announced the upcoming release of its ‘Tight Fit’ cylinder puller. As users of the Daniele Ielasi’s range of onroad engines will know, since 2022 they have by technical choice started using a ‘tight fit’ cylinder for their GP9R22 engines which has proved to be a very important step reliability. A side effect of this is unfortunately that not all customers find it easy to be able to carry out the classic maintenance on their engine as it was very difficult to be able to remove the cylinder from the crankcase. This is precisely the reason, in recent months they have thought about creating this extractor which finally makes it easier and safer to extract the cylinder from your GP9R22 and GP9R23. Made entirely of steel with a ‘spring steel collet which makes it reliable and long-lasting. The first batch of ‘Tight Fit’ cylinder pullers is due to be available late June.

Rêve D RDX Graphite Composite Molded Parts

RC Drift car manufacturer Reve D has released a new Graphite composite molded Bell Crank and Front Knuckle for its for RDX chassis. The bell crank and knuckle, which contains graphite in resin, promotes weight reduction and rigidity improvement at the front, which is important for RWD drift, and greatly improves steering sharpness and responsiveness. In addition, by increasing the rigidity of the material itself, the precision of the parts has been further improved, and the change in shape when a load is applied is suppressed. By reducing deflection and backlash, highly accurate steering work and suppression of hunting are possible. The shape of the bell crank and knuckle are both the same shape as the genuine parts, so it is easy to install and there is no need to change settings.
