MIP’s Puck kit has become a well known accessory for 1/10th scale buggies and now it is also available for AE’s latest line of trucks. The kit decreases the car’s driveline rotational weight by 50 percent, resulting in faster acceleration, quicker deceleration, and less wear and tear on the electronics.

| Exotek roll out new B6.1 series option parts Posted: 21 Aug 2018 01:22 AM PDT Coming from Exotek are three new option parts for Team Associated B6.1-based buggies and trucks. First up is a lightweight aluminium motor plate for vehicles using the laydown or layback transmission. The stealthy 2-colour anodised 7075 motor heatsink plate sports a polished black base with blue chamfered accents that go with stock plastic parts or after market blue parts. The black motor plate helps reduce motor temps while the built-in gear cover is stronger than the stock plastic cover to insure that the body does not press the cover onto the spur gear in hard tumbles. Also, the alloy material is kept in place around the motor and bolt screws to resist excess motor plate flex or bending but machined out elsewhere to reduce its weight to 12g. Lastly, the backside spacers are machined into the plate to provide more secure mounting to the gearbox. The plate is usable for the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 vehicles. Also new is a 2-colour anodised alloy steering crank set for the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1. The alloy construction ensures precise steering input and heavy duty long lasting performance while the colour scheme suits both standard and hop-upped rides. Last but not least is a Lightweight polished titanium slipper bolt for all B6.1-based kits. Almost half the weight of the stock bolt at 2.2g, the titanium bolt lightens the rotating mass and lowers the centre of gravity. The part is a direct fit on the stock laydown top shaft and slipper and uses the stock slipper pin and hardware. Source: Exotek [exotekracing.com] |
| RC Maker carbon charger & power supply stand Posted: 21 Aug 2018 12:57 AM PDT New from RC Maker is a simple and versatile carbon fibre charger and power supply stand. It features a slot together, compact footprint and is constructed from high quality 3mm carbon fibre. The stand itself is very sturdy, and made sturdier by holding the power supply underneath, which stabilises the whole unit. Increasing the room on your pit table, it also allows for more ventilation for the charger and power supply, allowing them to run cooler and more efficient. It sports two different width settings to house the smallest chargers – such as the iCharger X6 – right through to the bigger range of iChargers and other brands. Source: RC Maker [rcmaker.com.au] |
| Austrian 1/8th IC Track Nationals Rd4 – Report Posted: 20 Aug 2018 11:24 PM PDT The fourth round of the Austrian 1/8th IC Track Nationals was held at the MORAC track last weekend. The usual suspects of Mihelic and Pucher battled for the top spot on the 1/8th Nitro class. Setting the early pace in free practice on Saturday, Mihelic TQ’d while Pucher won the Super Pole with only one Lap to qualify directly to the main final. The 45-minute main final was a clean run for the pair that separated from the field by almost five laps, leaving behind their main competitor Gerhard Kandelhart in 3rd place. It was a pitty that Pucher ran out of fuel on his last stop at the 40-minute mark which prevented him from challenging Nejc to the end. This allowed Njec to bring home the win two laps in front of Pucher and another four laps in front of Kandelhart in 3rd. Winning three out of four races Nejc also secured his 4th title in a row with Pucher in 2nd and Kandelhart in 3rd. 1/8th Nitro top 3 results: In the 1/8th Electric Modified class Roland Schrenk lead and ARC 1-2-3 with Martin Schrenk and Helmut Höller coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively. 1/8th Electric Modified top 3 overall: Source: MW RC Cars [mwrccars.at] |
| Mon-Tech F18 formula body shell Posted: 20 Aug 2018 11:04 PM PDT After its debut at the recent 2018 IFMAR ISTC World Championship and Formula World Cup, Italian company Mon-Tech have officially revealed their all-new F18 formula body shell. Successfully used by winner, Jan Ratheisky, runner-up Dominic Quek and 4th placed Martin Hudy the body was developed to be lighter yet offer even higher performance thanks to optional side dams that not only look realistic but help to guide the air towards the rear wing better. The “underfloor” extends forwards the front suspension which further helps with aerodynamic efficiency, making the body pretty unique. The shell fits most 1/10th scale formula cars and it comes clear including add-on side dams. Source: Mon-Tech [mon-techracing.com] |
