Yeah Racing have announced another new carbon fibre option part for the Tamiya M07 in the form of a graphite bumper plate. Machined from high-quality material and coming including blue anodised alloy washers and steel hardware, the part was designed to replace the standard plastic plate for more durable and rigid solution that also adds a luxurious look.

Coming from Xray is a new hard 2.5mm graphite main chassis plate for the X1’19 formula car. Machined from a harder carbon fibre material and being 2.5mm thick the chassis is meant to increase stability while eliminating oversteering, creating a car that is easier to drive in high to very high bite conditions. Due to its torsional rigidity and the narrow front end, the chassis also helps to eliminate the scrub effect during high speed cornering.

Coming from Capricorn is their new C803 EP Race Evo 1/8th electric on-road kit. Built to meet EFRA GP and Campionato Costruttori rules, the car is based off of the nitro-powered C803 Evo and it was designed to utilise either two 3S or two 2S square-type LiPo battery packs for a race-ready weight of around 2400g and the ability to run the kit in either 6S or 4S configuration. The car features a carbon fibre double deck construction for a low weight, a lightweight aluminium motor mount for industry-standard 1/8th brushless motors as well as a single gear gearbox, fully adjustable suspension and an adjustable carbon fibre battery mount.
Yeah Racing have released a range of carbon fibre shock towers for the Tamiya M07 and M05 kits. Available for the M07 are front and rear shock towers for standard length shock with the parts coming separately or as convenient combo set. Also made for the M07 is a dedicated combo set to utilise short TRF shocks. For the M05 come shock towers for standard length shocks – again separately for the front or rear or as combo set. All include precision machined carbon fibre shock stays and all necessary – steel and aluminium – hardware. Using the carbon shock towers will greatly improve suspension precision and efficiency due to them being much stronger than the standard plastic parts.
Coming from OfficinaRC, a new project of Monaco RC, is the Forza diff hardness tester. The device is meant to be the smallest diff tester to date and it was developed especially for 1/10th and Mini-Z size vehicles. The taster is powered via any USB output and it comes including a 1/10th scale compatible adapter with a Mini-Z-style coupler being available separately. Its design allows to measure diff hardness of both installed and stand alone units and thanks to its compact 86x38x29mm dimensions and the low weight of 85g it is easy to store and transport.

Korean company Highest has introduced two new servos in the form of the B200 and B210 standard size brushless high-voltage servos. Both are housed in an all-aluminium case, they sport highly efficient brushless motors, full metal gear trains and black receiver wires for a professional look. The B200 is capable of up to 26.1kg-cm of torque and a speed of down to 0.08s while the B210 pulls up to 31.1kg-cm of torque at a speed of down to 0.09s.
Coming from PHub is their new “pink” Magic Grip traction compound for on-road rubber tyres. Tested by top-level drivers like Ronald Völker, David Ronnefalk and Viljami Kutvonen the tyre sauce will offer the highest possible traction without having to fear traction rolling. It is usable on a wide range of track conditions, ranging from low to high grip with the overall amount of grip available being adjusted by the application time before run. Applied ten minutes before a run the traction compound is is ideal for high-grip tracks while extending the application time to 20 minutes will make it suitable for low grip tracks. The tyre sauce comes in handy 60ml bottles and it is available from this weekend’s DHI Cup in Denmark.
