Pilot RC Products X-Rings shock seals

Pilot RC Products have introduced their new X-Rings shock seals for 1/10th Team Associated vehicles and other brands. The shock seals are made of a special material that will do away with swelling issues, ensuring smooth and like-new shock action over a very long time. The result is better bump absorption and a more predicable ride over the course of a race weekend. Included comes a sample of Pilot’s Orange shock grease and the X-rings are completely able to be wiped off, greased and re-installed time and time again. The seals come in a sealing container and are usable for Team Associated, Serpent and Kyosho 1/10th cars.

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.
