JP3D MetriCKs Enclosed Damper System

US based Custom 3D printing solutions company JP3D has released this Enclosed Damper System for CRC MetriCKs 1:12 chassis. The 3D printed rotary damper system replaces the stock exposed dampers with a fully enclosed system with the dampers printed in a very strong nylon composite material. The enclosed rotary dampers use a heavier grease, not included, than the stock dampers to achieve the same level of damping, but it stays very clean & consistent throughout the race event. The package comes complete with both L&R dampers as well as mounting screws. This damper system has been tested and raced by many CRC racers recently with podium finishes at US Indoor Champs and Hudy Indoor Champs.

KO Propo Electrical Switch 4

Japanese radio and servo manufacturer KO Propo has announced the upcoming release of its latest electronically controlled power switch the Electrical Switch 4. With a new case size that is about half that of the Electrical Switch 3 the switch is intended for use on GP powered cars. A CPU memorises the power status (ON/OFF), so it can prevent power-off caused by connector connection failures due to vibrations specific to gasoline engine cars or momentary disconnections during overload. It features a full-colour LED to display the battery mode (cut-off voltage) and remaining battery power. This allows you to check the switch status at a glance and with high-intensity LED used it is easy to check even outdoors. The switch comes with two types of bottom cases included, one with fixing holes and one without, so you can switch between them depending on how you install it.
