The kit will replace the standard tub chassis for a fibreglass double deck construction that allows to adjust battery placement in order to fine-tune weight bias while also scrubbing weight and increasing chassis rigidity. the set also includes FRP front and rear shock towers as well as an assortment of moulded parts and all needed hardware. The conversion kit will hit stores by end of March.

Dash RC RS-Tune brushless motor series

Dash have announced the all new RS-Tune series of “outlaw” competition brushless motors. The new generation features a high airflow arrow design with large openings in the machined aluminium can to guarantee maximum cooling efficiency, a lower weight and minimised power fading in high ambient temperatures. The redesigned stator helps to achieve a much lower internal resistance, increasing in torque which enhances the overall performance.The RS-Tune motors are specially designed for most Asian stock racing classes as they are already equipped with a standard (V2RSS123) rotor, that keeps them within the KV and Amps requirements. The motors are available in 13.5T, 17.5T and 21.5T specification.

7075.it T4 LCG battery plate

Coming from 7075.it and made for Xray’s aluminium flex and extra flex chassis is a LCG battery plate. Weighing it at 35g and adding only 0.5mm of height to the battery compartment area, the plate fits snuggly into the herringbone-shaped chassis cutout, interlocking with the main plate while not disturbing natural flex. The result is an improved weight balance when using low centre of gravity LiPo batteries without doing away with their advantages of lowering the overall centre of gravity. The plate comes in a shiny natural finish and sports dark logos and writings for looks and easy identification.

Yeah Racing 30mm alloy case booster cooling fan

Yeah Racing have announced the soon release of their new 30mm aluminium case boost cooling fan.

The case design also allows to use it as a motor cooling fan for extreme conditions. The fan is 8.4V high-voltage compatible, it utilises dual ball bearings and is available in black, blue or red colour.
