Samix are busy adding more balance weight options to their growing range with the latest addition being dedicated front balance weights for the Yokomo BD9 touring car. Available as 5g, 10g or 15g options, the weights are a direct fit for both the standard and the coming Samix chassis. Black coating helps to prevent corrosion and engraved markings ensure easy identification while adding a professional look.
Reedy’s Sonic S-Plus motor is now available in a version that meets ROAR’s unique guidelines for 25.5 turn motors typically used in Formula and VTA racing classes. Maximum power output is achieved thanks to near-minimum resistance measurements and a high-strength balanced rotor. In addition to increased power output, reduced weight improves handling and chassis-turning flexibility. Additionally, the motor’s length has been shortened by more than 2mm, which aids left/right balance and moves mass towards the centre of the chassis. Finally, precision stainless steel ball bearings have been fitted to accommodate high RPM loads with exceptional efficiency and reliability.
New from RC Maker are these simple ackermann plates which slide into the bell crank steering on most cars and allow to change the ackermann geometry without totally unscrewing the ball studs to install a shim, which can be a fiddly job. They install by simply loosening the ball studs and sliding the plates in or out and tightening. The set consists of two plates, one 0.5mm and one 1mm, allowing to tune your the steering ackermann from 0.5-1.5mm in 0.5mm increments. These fit the Xray T4, Yokomo BD9, Infinity IF14, Awesomatix A800X, ARC R11 and any other car with bell crank ballstud spacing of 8.0-8.5mm.
Coming from Samix and made for the Yokomo BD9 are new centre balance weights. Coming in 25g, 35g or 45g specification the weights not only up the car’s overall weight when needed, they also act as a battery stopper, preventing the LiPo pack from moving. The weights come machined from high-quality brass material, they are black coated and are a direct fit with the original Yokomo chassis as well as all Samix BD9 chassis plates.
Infinity has released a new optional ventilated brake disc set for their IF18. The new disc is made from thicker material than the standard disc included in the 1/8th on-road kit and has been vented for efficient heat dissipation. These features mean the disc offers improved brake feeling and a more stable braking performance during long runs. The set also includes springs.

Samix have introduced new front balance weights for the Xray t4’19 touring car. Available in 5g, 10g or 15g variants the weights are designed to add weight to the front part of the chassis, reducing oversteering and making for a more controlled ride in certain track conditions. The weighs are designed exclusively for the use with Samix’s own #T4-19-1001s carbon fibre and #T4-19-7001s aluminium chassis and they come black anodised and with etched markings.
LRP have announced the release of a full line of X22 Stock Spec brushless motors as well as the introduction of the X22 N.B. 6.5T modified motor especially for non-boosted modified classes. All motors use a precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminium can with the Stock Spec motors featuring additional machining for improved cooling and a lower weight. A machined window makes way for the laser-etched winding marking, ensuring easy identification while the aluminium backplate with machined pockets further enhances heat dissipation. The motors are rounded off by heavy duty solder tabs. As for the X22 N.B. 6.5T Modified motor, the power plant was developed especially with non-boosted modified racing in mind, a new class that ensures exceptional top speeds that are still manageable for us mere mortals. The motor builds on the X22 Stock Spec and features a 6.5T modified winding, an optimised rotor and adjustable 0 to 60 degree timing.
Made for Yokomo’s YD2S RWD drift car is a carbon fibre and aluminium rear shock tower from Yeah Racing. Constructed from high-quality carbon fibre and black anodised aluminium the shock stay offers an incredible amount of upper shock and camber link mounting positions, allowing to create complex setups. The part is a direct fit and available now.
