SkyRC introduce a twin motor cooling fan kit for large scale brushless motors with a diameter of 55mm. The part made from heat-resistant material offers a heatsink design, it incorporates two pre-wired 40mm highspeed 7.4v fans and it easily mounts to the motor using two zip ties. The compact design allows to efficiently reduce the running temperature of a wide range of motors used in 1/5th scale models.

Team C introduce this aluminium steering arm kit for the TC10 and TR10 line of touring cars. Included are machined black anodised aluminium bellcranks for improved rigidity and durability resulting in a more crisp steering response and better crash durability. A supplied hardware set of shims, bushings and countersunk washers optimises the fit of all parts involved.

New from ProTek R/C comes the Blue Flame engine heater to effectively pre-heat the critical internal parts of a nitro engine. Pre-heating the engine head and the upper parts of the crankcase results in significantly reduced wear and unnecessary stress when compared to cold starting. The engine’s crankshaft, connecting rod, piston and sleeve all benefit and will last much longer when pre-heated regularly plus the engine’s “pinch” will be reduced which can be beneficial especially for new or rebuild engines. An access port atop the device allows to easily start the engine and monitor temperatures while in use. As a safety measure, a 10-minute timer shuts off the heater automatically. The heater comes pre-wired with a T-type connector and includes a crocodile clamp adapter wire.

Tamiya soon have a new sensored brushless motor available in the form of the TBLM 02S. Coming as faster 10.5T and slightly slower 15.5T variant, both offer sensored and sensorless operation and build-in bullet type connectors. Their closed design makes them usable for on-road and off-road applications alike.

Hudy introduce their new medium-size shock and differential oil bag. Measuring roughly 19x15x12cm the reinforced and padded bag is ideal to store and transport up to 18 medium-size Hudy silicone oil bottles without having to fear they rattle and leak inside any DIY box. Flashy graphics and reinforced zippers make the bag stand out in your hauler bag and on the pit table.

The ProTek R/C Electronic Switch is of a completely sealed low-profile design so it can be mounted anywhere without fear of dirt and grime working its way in and causing a failure. Built-in voltage cutoff for LiPo receiver packs prevents the battery from becoming deep discharged while a LED on/off indicator gives feedback on the remaining battery capacity. Three mounting lashes allow for easy installation of the switch using the chassis’ personal transponder mount.

With the official introduction of the brand-new Xray X1 1/10th Formula kit only days away, this week Red RC will bring you an exclusive insight into the company’s first ever open wheel on-road car followed by the full official release. Stay tuned.
The Yokomo YRF Formula 001W competition formula chassis kit has been updated with the new rear friction tube damper system which is based on the same system that has been tried and battle-tested on the R12C3.1 1/12th scale kit. By outfitting the 001W with this type of suspension system the overall weight is reduced and the side-to-side balance has improved, allowing better control and sharper turn manoeuvres. The kit comes with two types of front suspension arms to support both foam and rubber tyres with the wide specification suspension arms are used with foam tyres to achieve higher corner speeds, while the narrow specification suspension arms are used with rubber tyres to make for a more scale appearance.
