Coming from Japanese brand Modify is a 40mm high RPM motor fan set. Included are a high airflow 18,000 RPM fan unit for improved motor cooling as well as an all-black extension wire to couple the fan with a free receiver output. Using additional fans will lower the motor temperatures of both modified and stock motors and also in high ambient temperatures.

Revolution Design Racing Products is busy adding more accessories to their already impressive line up with the Ultra Shock Stand TC being their latest offering. The handy tool keeps things sorted during building, rebuilding and setup of 1/10th touring car shock absorbers. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium the stand is usable with both standard and big bore shocks and it keeps them in a perfectly upright position, allowing to easily and conveniently fill the dampers with shock fluid and they are also perfectly stored away when waiting for those nasty air bubbles to disappear. On top of this, small compartments under each shock hold small parts such as volume compensators and the like. Laser-etched markings help with shock identification to avoid any mix-ups and the stand comes in the five different colours of light blue, dark blue, black, orange and red.
Scorpion have introduced their all-new RR-3420 brushless motor. Designed to meet ROAR specifications the motor features an 7075 aluminium case with heatsink design and several cooling openings that also allow to check the stator specifications. Furthermore the motor utilises high-temperature magnets and high-purity copper wires for minimal internal resistance. The stator material is high-grade silicon steel and a built-in cooling fan reduces the internal temperatures while a patented screw-type rotor surface increases flux density and maximises cooling. The motor is currently available as 10.5T variant and should get ROAR approval soon.
Arrowmax have expanded their line of high-performance LiPo battery packs by a 14.8V variant for 1/8th scale applications. Build from 55C cells with a capacity of 5200mAh the battery measures 139x47x48mm and it comes in a protective hardcase and pre-wired with a T-type power and a standard balancer connector. The cells allow for up to 110C burst rate, enough even for the most power-hungry motors.

Yeah Racing have introduced a 30mm cooling fan with outer aluminium case. The sturdy metal construction helps to dissipate heat generated by the fan’s motor in hot conditions while also adding durability to the overall construction, resulting in improved lifespan. On top of his the unit allows for rewiring thanks to accessible solder joints, making for neat and clean wiring jobs.
Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their all-new 15g Ultra Motor Weight. Made for hassle-free chassis weight distribution changes the lightest in RDRP’s line of motor weights the 15g variant is of an updated design with milled-out sections that allow for improved motor cooling compared to the previous design. It can be fasted to the motor using two countersunk screws and unused mounting positions on the motor’s front plate, making for much easier installation and maintenance as it stays attached to the motor even when it is taken out of the chassis. The weight helps to up the car’s weight or optimise the weight distribution of buggies, touring and pan cars and it is simply inserted between the motor and the motor mount. The weight is usable with most 540 and 550-size brushless motors.
Coming for Serpent’s nitro-powered Cobra GT cars is a Nickel-coated 2-speed clutch bell. Made from lightweight 7075-T6 aluminium and sporting a Nickel plating the clutch bell is about 60 percent lighter than the standard steel version, scrubbing valuable rotational mass for improved acceleration. The CNC-machined bell features precision-machined bearing fits and it can be used with alloy, the original black or the new yellow clutch shoes as well as a mix of those.
