Bezerk from Australia have announced the release of new carbon fibre main chassis for the Yokomo YRX12 2019 and Roche P12 Evo 1/12th scale pan cars.

This helps with traction on low to medium grip tracks. Also available is a suitable lower pod plate. Over to the P12 Evo chassis, the main plate also offers increased flex over the standard part, however it is additionally available in stiff weave carbon for high grip conditions. A suitable lower motor pod plate is available from Bezerk as well.

RC Maker AM19-2 upper bulkhead support stiffeners

Coming from RC Maker and made for the Awesomatix AM19-2 upper bulkheads are carbon fibre stiffener plates. Constructed from very stiff 0.5mm carbon, then are extremely lightweight and provide increased rigidity to the “ears” on the upper bulkheads where the camber link mounts. In awkward collisions with boards on tight, twisty tracks, these ears can bend when hitting boards or barriers and throw our the camber and caster, and are sometimes quite difficult to detect at first. These will help prevent these upper bulkheads twisting by providing an extra layer of supper bridged between the camber link ball-stud and bulkhead screw. Being only 0.5mm thick, they do not need a longer screw in the bulkhead, however if owners want to, this will further increase rigidity. The stiffeners are able to stay on the car when removing diffs etc, and are held in position by the camber link ballstuds. The stiffeners are available in 8-piece packs from now on.
