Team Associated’s new XP Series high-voltage servos aim to be better suited to the 7.4V LiPo packs used by racers in their cars these days. Most of the current generation of servos are designed only for 6.0V input, and this can cause reliability issues. These new servos feature updated motors and electronic circuitry that are designed to withstand the rigors of high-voltage operation in nitro vehicles. A metal gear version (MG) is perfect for use as the steering servo while the standard version is suitable for controlling the throttle. Even though they are designed to run with 7.4V, they can also be used with standard 6.0V NiMh receiver batteries and are also perfect for use as the steering servo in electric vehicles with the SC10 RTR actually coming equipped with the SHV1504MG.
The Yeah Racing aluminium spur gear stand is designed to hold a large range of your spur gears for easy storage. Capable of holding up to 10 spurs and compatible with all those used for 1/10th or 1/12th scale RC cars. The top of the stand is fastened with a body clip to hold the gears securely and furthermore, a rubber strip is attached to the body clip for ease of use.
Craft-RC have released their Much More developed CRST starter box, a compact, high torque starter that can be used to start most types of engines. Made from stainless steel and durable nylon composite parts, this starter comes completely assembled and ready for use in both on or off road configurations. Its ergonomically designed over size handle provides painless fatique free transport every time. In addition the starting flywheel mechanism can be reconfigured so that it can start engines placed along the chassis or perpendicular to the chassis. The starting mechanism utilizes a large heavy duty 775 size motor with pulley/belt reduction system to produce the torque required for new 21 sized engines. Furthermore, the alignment posts are adjustable from the top with a single tool for easy set-up.
KM Racing have released this set of 4 setup wheels for use with 1/10th scale touring cars. Machined from aluminium, so lightweight, they are available anodised in red, blue and gun metal. Sporting a rubber o-ring around the circumference of the disk, the car will not slide around when checking settings and also wont scratch the surface its placed upon. The wheels offer a consistent wheel size for checking ride height and a flat side for measuring camber and toe settings.
Xray have released this optional monoblock engine mount for the NT1. Providing solid engine mounting and easy adjustment, the unique keyed-mount design allows for the easy removal and replacement of the engine without the need for gear mesh re-adjustment after every replacement. The smartly-designed mounting system consists of two components, an adjustable base mounted to the chassis, and a pair of upper mounts (sold separately) which remain attached to the engine crankcase that key to the adjustable base. The monoblock provides a stiffer design than the standard single engine mounts but is still a bit more flexible than the Multi-Flex 1-piece engine mounting system, and is recommended for low and medium traction conditions.
Pro-Line have released their Suburbs for use on 2.2″ buggy rear wheels. Available in the company’s M3, MX and MC compounds for loose dirt/cool surface, blue-groove/high heat and clay conditions respectively, they were used at the 2008 ROAR 1/10 Off-Road Nationals, by Ryan Cavalieri who dominated the 2wd modified buggy class. Featuring an inner and outer radius rib tread for increased corner holding and predictable side-bite, the internal carcass webbing resist tire expansion under acceleration and deceleration while the internal sidewall ribbing maintains sidewall structure in extreme traction conditions for greater corner control. The tread height is predictable, aggressive, and long-lasting for use on a variety of blue-groove track and surfaces where you would typically run soft compound tires.
The Shizuoka show is on this weekend in Japan, and as usual the Japanese companies are out in force showing their new products at their home show. HPI Racing have released a number of new items, the most interesting of which being the new Racing 32 H-01 and H-02 chassis’, which as the name suggests is a new 1/32nd scale racer. The H-02 chassis shown above, is a full race spec version with carbon throughout and is essentially a tiny Cyclone 12X pan car, complete with foam tires. The H-01 is the RTR version of the same car and features lightweight plastics throughout and will come with a beautiful scale body and is supplied with a 2.4Ghz radio system, as well as a charger / workbench. Also new on the same stand from Hot Bodies is the Flux powered version of the World Championship winning D8 buggy. This brushless car is still only a prototype, but from the pictures you can see that it retains the mechanical brake system, has a composite plastic chassis and a forward mounted motor.
Team Associated have just announced the new RC10R5-Oval Factory Team Kit, due for release in June. The 10R5-Oval is built on a 2.5mm woven carbon fibre chassis that utilizes a T-plate and 3-shock setup to suspend the newly designed rear pod. Optimized for brushless, the new rear pod features a 3-point upper pod plate with an aluminium stand-off that increases stiffness and dissipates heat by transferring the heat from the motor mount to the left rear bulkhead, keeping the motor cooler throughout the run.
Xray have released this high-strength 24T pinion gear (2nd gear) for the Xray NT1, that has been made from tough 7075 T6 aluminium and specially hard coated for supreme strength, light weight, and superior durability.

Fine internal threading allows easy installation on XCA clutch bells, both standard or lightweight versions. Each pinion is fine etched with the tooth number for easy & quick identification.
We brought you the very first pictures of the prototype of the new G4II from Team Magic back at the toy fair in February and since then the car has evolved to something that looks like its close to being released. Dario Balestri, current European Champion, and Team Magic’s development driver, was in touch to let us know about the short video above that shows him testing at the Gubbio track in Italy, host of this summer’s European Championships. As you can see from the footage, the car handles really well and can easily cope with all that power that is coming his Novarossi engine.
Following on from the announcement of the ready to run versions of the SC10, Team Associated have released 2 new versions of the popular 1/10th scale short course truck. Differing from the previous version in body alone, you can now get the RTR SC10 in both the KMC Wheels replica as well as the Team Associated scheme, which joins the already available Lucas Oil and Pro Comp replicas.
Tamiya USA have released details of the car in English. The first edition of the F104 chassis kit will come in a Pro spec, using top-quality carbon fibre parts for a beautiful finish and light weight. The car features front & rear wings and an original body, which along with the tire size and body dimensions produce great scale realism. As was obvious in the first images of the car, the battery is longitudinally-mounted, allowing for a slim body design, while the 2WD direct drive system claims to offer excellent acceleration qualities and is very reliable. The front suspension features a link-type coil spring with the rear suspension having a friction plate and a T-bar set up with a TRF damper. A part of the new design is the aluminium diff housing which even if your wheels are removed the differential will hold together allowing easy maintenance. The height adjustable rear gear case has been designed to match the new tire dimensions and the isometric steering rod links up well with the longitudinally-mounted steering servo for excellent control.
BMI Racing have released a number of new items including their new universal arbor for all popular tire truers and their new tuned piston kit for the Silva Racing 1/12th shock. The universal arbor means you no longer need to buy multiple arbors and constantly change them back and forth when truing tires if you race different classes and includes everything you need to true tires for 1/12th, 1/10th Oval/World GT as well as touring cars. The tuned pistons for the Silva 1/12th shock is a good upgrade for any 1/12th scale car and feature a larger diameter for less blow by and have smaller oil holes. This allows you to use lighter oil and increase the oil flow velocity for more pack. This improvement affects a car in a multitude of ways giving smooth damping with bottoming resistance, fast weight transfer during sudden directions changes and slower weight transfer in sweepers, all out of one shock.
