Yeah Racing M07 alloy arm mounts & heat sink

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for Tamiya’s M07 Concept M-chassis kit are new aluminium rear arm mounts and a motor heat sink. Starting with the rear arm mounts, the parts are of a modified design with suspension ball inserts to prevent the assembly from binding when the arms sit at an angle. Included are four arm mounts, pivot balls and an assortment of shims to fine-tune the toe angle. Also new is a motor heat sink in blue anodising. As the motor of the M07 sits wrapped within the chassis the heat sink, that is connected to the motor plate, will greatly improve heat dissipation and thus the performance and lifespan of the motor.

Team EAM 1/12th pan car spool axle

Team EAM have introduced their new spool rear axle for 1/12th pan cars. A popular setup for very high bite “black” carpet tracks, the solid axle will make for improved traction due to getting rid of the standard ball differential that can slip when using low-wind motors. The purpose designed and constructed axle shaft features aluminium inserts, weighing in at 0.2g each, to keep the carbon from compressing while clamping down the hubs. Without these the hubs will come loose and fly off during a race and eventually drivers can also crush the axle while trying to keep the hubs tight. The axle is available in hollow or solid variants from now on.
