T-Works MTC1 spool outdrives & titanium hinge pin kit

Coming from T-Works and made for the Mugen MTC1 electric touring car kit are twin-type spring spool outdrives and a titanium hinge pin set. Staring with the outdrives, they are machined from high-quality spring steel for exceptional durability and it is understood that they feature a twin-type design, meaning they are usable with both C-blade or “pin-only” driveshafts to create different on-power characteristics. The parts are a direct replacement and they come including hardware. Also new is a set of 64-grade titanium hinge pins for the MTC1. The shafts replace the standard steel items for lighter ones.

Kyosho MP9 & GT3 hard rear hub carrier set

Kyosho have introduced an optional hard rear hub carrier set for the MP9 and GT3 series of cars. The hubs are moulded from a harder composite material than the standard parts for increased stability and less flex under load, something that can be beneficial and create increased traction when running on very high grip surfaces.

Reedy Sonic 866 & 877 1/8th brushless motors

Coming from Reedy are two new Sonic-series 1/8th scale competition electric brushless motors in the form of the 866 and 877. The Sonic 866, available in two kV versions, is designed for 1/8th eBuggies while its slightly longer brother, the Sonic 877, is intended for 1/8th eTruggy duty. However, motors are interchangeable between chassis types to create a wide range of performance options suitable for a wide variety of track conditions. All versions feature a precision machined case with an integrated heat sink to lower operating temperatures. This results in less fade over the course of a race, longer run times, and increased motor life. Sensored operation results in a smooth and controllable power band, while a powerful 4-pole rotor is supported by precision ball bearings for maximum power output and reliability.
