Coming from T-Works are new low centre of gravity balancing weights in 5g and 10g variants. Machined from heavy brass material and coming with a black surface coating for looks and corrosion resistance, the weights also feature gold-colour writings for easy identification. The screw-on weights are usable for most 1/10th and 1/8th scale vehicles, helping to up overall weight or fine-tune weight balance, and they are available separately.
Coming from Dash is the AI Pro V2 brushless speed controller. Based on the previous model the V2 variant features state-of-the-art 32 bit micro-controlling and a robust software with the signature black and golden all-aluminium case improving heat dissipation. The redesigned case is now also smaller and lighter, minimising the overall weight and lowering the centre of gravity. The Reedy Race winning ESC was developed and tested with the help of Viktor Wilck and Nicholas Lee with a focus on smooth power delivery needed for modified racing as well as exceptional power efficiency for stock racing. Other features include a high-voltage 30mm turbo fan, an adjustable 6V to 7V high-voltage BEC system as well as interchangeable A-B-C motor connector configurations.

JConcepts have introduced their new breathable mesh chassis cover for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 short course truck. When racing on a loamy or topsoil track surface the inside of the Slash chassis can become loaded with dirt or debris which creates extra weight. With the mesh chassis cover these worries are minimized with the simple and functional part. Fitting nicely under the body, the JConcepts chassis cover hugs the outside dimension of the Slash chassis protecting the inside from unwanted excess dirt and debris build-up during racing and bash conditions. The chassis cover fits snug around the entire chassis structure while being attached along the sides with the included hook and loop tape for easy access. The versatile part of the design comes from the mesh material, zipper closure and Velcro attachment which makes changing batteries or routine maintenance a breeze. The mesh itself is breathable and keeps out large debris while allowing airflow around the electrical items inside the chassis.
Yeah Racing have announced the release of their new Hacktronic G2 competition brushless speed controller.
