Italian company BMT has introduced new option parts for the 016GT 1/8th on-road car. First up is a new aluminium main chassis plate that is made using a different grade material. The updated chassis will produce more overall traction while improving handling at the same time. Also new are front lower arm mounts in +2mm specification. The parts raise the suspension attachment point by 2mm which results in a lowered roll centre which is meant to improve steering especially on lower grip tracks. Also new and made for the front of the 016GT is a front bulkhead brace for improved steering emphasis while new 2mm front bulkhead spacers allow to change the front dynamic camber. Last but not least comes a new 17T 1st gear pinion.
Sweep Racing have introduced their new electric touring car rear wing. Sporting a width of 190mm the IFMAR-legal wing, that fits most of today’s 190mm touring car bodies, will greatly improve downforce and thus rear end grip in low traction conditions and it is available in standard 0.8mm or heavy-duty 1.0mm polycarbonate material and in either clear or black colour variants.
Coming from Hudy are their new brushless 40mm and 30mm fan units. Ball raced and thus highly reliable the fans offer easy to reach solder tabs that allow for quick and convenient wire replacements and more tidy wire routing. The fans are usable as motor and speed controller coolers and they include all-black 170mm wires.
Spanish company RC Prostyle have introduced their new LiPo battery mount for the Xray T4 series of electric touring cars. Constructed from machined carbon fibre and orange anodised 7075 aluminium, the mount allows to shift the battery pack forth and back as well as to the side a couple of millimetres while the upper carbon fibre brackets keep the battery in place, doing away with the usual tape and ensuring tweak-free battery mounting. The battery mount will hit stores very soon.
