RC Maker 3D Pro mid-motor wire organiser

Coming from RC Maker is their new 3D Pro wire organiser for mid-motor touring cars. Designed to neaten up mid-motor wiring and suitable for most mid-motor touring cars the accessory provides a route for the fan wire heading to the ESC, or the ESC RX wire heading to the receiver. The organiser does away with exposed wires dangling free over the top of the motor, or jamming them under the motor. The simplistic solution gives the wires a route to follow over the motor, ensuring they stay in place and hidden. The item is designed to suit all mid-motor cars and motor – except the Awesomatix MMX due to its motor mount design. The organiser screws directly to the front shield of the motor and features a slotted screw design to fit all different diameter motors.

Hudy ultra thin double-sided tape

Coming from Hudy is their new ultra thin double-sided tape that is perfect to mount receivers, speed controllers or balance weights. The tape comes in 140x50mm strips and due to being ultra thin it allows to place electronics much lower compared to standard thickness tape, which not only looks a lot neater, it also helps to lower the overall centre of gravity. The tape features extra-strong glue, it is yet super easy to remove and it comes in packs of five pre-cut stripes.

A true evolution compared to the previous Raptor.21 Euro Spec, the engine makes used of an exclusive crankshaft created specifically to Ielasi Tuned’s specifications, while the piston and liner were modified differently compared to the previous version, making for a different compression ratio. Also new for the Evo is a lower and lighter cooling head that is about 7g lighter compared to the previous version while also scrubbing Ielasi Tuned’s classic purple colour that has accompanied the brand for years, and that has now changed to gray, a colour that will then cover Ielasi Tuned’s entire Evo range engines.
