MiBorg TC-01 RCV driveshafts

More new RCV driveshafts from MiBorg RC, this time for the Tamiya TC-01. Available for the front and rear of the car, the driveshafts use ceramic balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration even at high steering angles leading to more predictable handling, higher corner speeds and less tyre wear.

MR33 Tweak Tool Station

The new MR33 Tweak Tool Station offers a clear and simple way to check the tweak on all 1:10 and 1:12 scale onroad cars. Unlike other comparative products it does not rely on a water scale for measuring the chassis balance, this job is done by a ride height gauge (not included) placed underneath the left and right side of the floating aluminium main plate. Racers can clearly read out the values from the height gauge and don’t have to rely on a water scale. The MR33 Tweak Tool Station is made from black anodized aluminium with laser engraved numbers and logos.

Torpine R21 shorty LiPo holder set

New from Torpine for the ARC R21 is this shorty LiPo pack mount made from brass. Weighing close to 80g in total, each side is attached with 3 screws and can be finely adjusted to fit the shorty perfectly. If 80 grams of brass is too much they have also released two additional weights that mount directly to the motor mount with one weight (8g) on the right and the set of two weights (2x6g) on the left. The threaded holes for fixing the weights are already in the motor mount by default and the weight on the right has the thickness to serve as the inner stop for the LiPo.

Exotek Racing DR10 options

Exotek Racing have introduced a lot of new items for the Associated DR10, starting with this lightweight 2mm carbon fibre ESC tray set. It allows for easier mounting of larger esc’s and stock esc’s in a centrally balanced location and comes with alloy posts and hardware. Next up is a heavy duty alloy servo mount that makes for easier servo install and removal thanks to the 1-piece design that will always match the chassis holes. There is also a precision machined premium titanium front axle set for the DR10. At only 4.5 grams per pair, these axles are perfect for reducing rotating mass for quicker acceleration. A rounded and angled hex profile also makes wheel installation extra quick and easy. Finally there is a hard anodised 7075 alloy idler gear for the DR10. This is much stronger than the stock plastic idler gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life along with proper slipper adjustments.
