Exotek have introduced their new Fan Blaster aluminium fan shrouds for 30mm and 40mm fan units. Both shrouds were developed for the use with Exotek’s existing ring-shaped fans mounts and they blast the fan’s air directly onto the motor for maximum cooling effect while also acting as a finned heat sink that adds additional ambient cooling. Importantly, the shroud positions the fan about 12mm away from the motor can to help prevent the motor magnets from impeding the fan motor and the shrouds lightweight alloy construction insures factory good looks and extra durable quality. The 30mm shroud was designed for the use with Exotek’s #1718 fan mount while the 40mm variant uses Exotek’s #1756, #1914 or #1718 mounts.

Coming from Roche are new optional parts for the P12 Evo 1/12th scale pan car in the form of a short wheelbase aluminium chassis as well as hard composite low height steering knuckles. The SWB alloy chassis is cut from 2.0mm material and it comes hard-coated for wear and looks. Using the chassis will improve the car’s performance on tight and twitchy tracks and included in the set comes a carbon fibre front bumper mount. Also new are the low height steering knuckles moulded from a hard composite material. The reduced height of the steering knuckles will allow for a wider range of outer upper arm positions while the hard material improves steering response in high-bite and high-temperature conditions.
