Bezerk X10 Pro10 235mm conversion kits

Bezerk from Australia have introduced their new Pro and Basic Pro10 235mm conversion kits for Xray’s popular X10 World GT pan car. Starting with the Pro kit, a new wider 2.5mm thick front brace pumps out the width and uses the kit front suspension components. The new tweak plate provides two pickup points per side for the side dampers to make it compatible with older and newer models. LiPo location is also taken care of with suitable notch in the tweak plate. At 3.0mm Bezerk upped the thickness here to provide reliable support for both the side springs, damping and the body. The pod, pod upper plate and pod brace have been widened to suit the IRS axle. A 3mm ride height spacer is also included. Topdecks made from 2.5mm are provided to stiffen the chassis, an ideal upgrade for higher grip tracks. A revised front shock mount provides an extra hole for an integrated battery stop. The kit also includes a slotted upper servo plate to allow easy centralising of any servo. All parts are individually available in case any spares are needed. As for the Basic kit, it includes all needed parts to bring the chassis to 235mm specification, however it doesn’t include the topdecks, front shock mount and slotted servo plate.

Team Powers Actinium V3 brushless motors

Coming from Team Powers are their new Actinium V3 540-class electric brushless motors. Compared to the previous V2.0 motors the new generation features upgraded Neodymium sintered rotors for a stronger magnetic field and thus increased torque while reducing power fading towards the end of the run. Also new for the V3 is an updated stator design for increased top speed and increased efficiency. Furthermore does a new stator and wiring technique for the 10.5T to 25.5T stock motors lower the internal resistance b about 15 to 20 percent. The motors are housed in a newly designed can with large cooling openings that lower the weight by ten percent while allowing the motor to run cooler by about ten to 15 Degrees Celsius. All motors come equipped with highest-grade ball bearings, doing away with the need to use ceramic bearings and a mixture of titanium and aluminium stator screws provides both strength and efficient power.

Think RC MTC1.e drivetrain & chassis conversion kits

Think RC have announced the release of two conversion kits for the Mugen Seiki MTC1 touring car. The first kit is a 38T pulley conversion to improve the drivetrain efficiency of the car. It’s well known that bigger drive pulleys helps to increase the drivetrain efficiency, by reducing the tension the belts can run under without experiencing skipping. For stock classes this is especially important, as it helps to improve top speed. Longer front and rear belts are also provided to work with the larger pulleys. The kit also includes 1mm bulkhead spacers to lift the diffs, which offers improved corner speed over the kit positions. Finally, 1mm lower shock towers are also included. The lower height maintains current shock positions, and have been revised to provide the required clearance for the 38T pulleys. The rear tower also has an update shape for improved stiffness, providing more on-power stability.
