Avid A800 limited edition titanium chassis

Coming from Avid are two new titanium chassis for the Awesomatix A800X series touring car. The chassis has been designed for high bite conditions and Avid widened the standard arm pivots in the rear 0.5mm on each side – arms further from the bulkheads – which stabilizes the car allowing to drive it harder with more confidence. The designers have also narrowed the long arm suspensions pivots in the rear 0.5mm on each side – arms closer to the bulkheads – to match the rear. Avid recommend using this chassis to increase performance on high to medium bite conditions with Kyle Klingforth, who helped develop the chassis, finishing 2nd in the Touring Modified class at this year’s ROAR Carpet Nationals, forcing other teams to fly in custom titanium chassis due to them offering quite an advantage. The limited edition chassis fits the standard motor position A800X and it is available in exclusive oil slick or standard black anodising.

Yeah Racing 1/8th electric motor heat sinks

Yeah Racing have introduced their new add-on heat sinks for 1/8th scale electric motors. Designed for the use with motors of 40.8mm diameter and 57.9mm of length, the multi-piece aluminium heat sink wraps around the motor, making for an increased surface and thus better heat dissipation. In addition up to two optional 30mm cooling fans can be mounted to further increase cooling capacity. 10mm stand offs allow to raise the fans which further improves cooling at the expense of a higher centre of gravity and less body clearance. The hear sinks are available in red, black or blue colour.

JConcepts RM2 Red O-ring grease and treatment

Coming from JConcepts is the RM2 Red O-ring grease and treatment. The grease helps seal the shock shaft to O-rings and prevents unwanted leakage while still smooth enough to maintain the plush action a race shock requires. Another added bonus of using a treatment in this area is additional protection against dirt, dust and built-up on the shock-shafts, this can lead to less damage on the shafts during heavy-usage. The high-quality, smooth consistency grease comes in a clean and simple container for application and storage.
