Yeah Racing Wind Pressurizer cooling fan booster

Coming from Yeah Racing is their new Wind Pressuriser, a cooling fan booster for 30mm speed controller fans. Machined from aluminium the part will greatly improve cooling efficiency as it not only maximised the air flow but also acts as an additional heatsink. The booster is made of black anodised aluminium and it is best used in applications that are less sensitive to a slightly higher centre of gravity such as 1/10th drift cars.

Xray RX8E electric conversion set

Xray have introduced their all-new RX8E electric conversion kit for the RX8 1/8th on-road car. The kit allows to swap power trains in a matter of minutes by simply replacing the radio tray and rear layshaft bulkhead. The kit was developed for the use with two 2S Shorty LiPo packs, a standard-size 1/8th scale electric brushless motor and a compact 4S LiPo compatible speed controller and it includes a new 2.5mm carbon fibre radio plate, an alloy motor mount, spur gear and pinion adapters as well as a new centre shaft and various small parts. Thanks to the included adapters the drivetrain utilises the main gears and pinions of the RX8 nitro car meaning there is no need to buy those parts extra, making gear ratio adjustments a breeze. The conversion kit is usable with the RX8’18 and also the older specification ’17 and ’16 cars and it will hit stores very soon.

Infinity IF15 1/10 200mm nitro on-road kit 

Following two years of on-track development, Infinity has finalised their first 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road kit – the IF15. Extensively tested by the 1/8th Onroad World Champion’s team drivers, the new kit has already shown winning form. In the 2018 Euro Nitro Series, Jilles Groskamp took the car to victory at the opening round and secured the TQ at round 2. The concept for the design of the IF15 was to have the lowest possible centre of gravity and, like its big brother the IF18, create a car that facilitates easy maintenance. As a result of its low centre of gravity, the IF15 provides exceptional steering feeling. The easy access bulkheads make exchanging of differentials and belts easy and reduces the time needed to find the best set-up. This is a feature of the car that is particularly beneficial when time is limited. The kit comes supplied with suspension bushes with various roll centre positions, and three kinds of front and four kinds of rear anti-roll bars meaning the IF15 can easily be tuned to any track.
