Beta 34mm 4-shoe aluminium clutch system Posted: 26 Mar 2018 08:32 AM PDT Nemo Racing have introduced the new Beta 34mm 4-shoe aluminium clutch system. The design and materials utilised in this new clutch make for a very durable assembly whilst also offering the exceptional traction levels and low fuel consumption on all surfaces. The clutch uses a more convention spring design for ease of assembly and reliability, but the spring is a through shoe design, meaning less filing of clutch shoes and more racing. The clutch shoes are made of 7075 aluminium, meaning it has the best balance between durability, traction and drivability. The 34mm flywheel also uses 7075 aluminium allowing for a lightweight and strong design, with steel flywheel pins offering the best durability and strength. The 4-shoe clutch is simple to assemble and adjust, with the two different thickness spring coming in the package, both of which colour coded for easy recognition. The clutch comes supplied with a clutch nut and collet. Source: Nemo Racing [nemoracing.com] ![]() ![]() |

RDRP YZ-4 SF brass rear chassis weights Posted: 26 Mar 2018 07:08 AM PDT Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products and made for the Yokomo YZ-4 SF are rear brass chassis weights. Both are machined from high-quality brass material and they come with a black surface coating to protect them from the elements while adding that factory look. The larger piece adds nearly 30g of weight to the rear end of the buggy while the smaller weight adds 15g of weight to a more central part of the buggy for an optimised weight bias and added rear traction in low-grip track conditions. The weights attach using existing mounting positions for quick tuning and secure fastening and they are available separately. Source: RDRP [revolution-rc.com] ![]() ![]() |
Fenix BD8-2018/17 & Velox F1 carbon chassis Posted: 26 Mar 2018 06:55 AM PDT Coming from Fenix Racing are new carbon fibre chassis parts for the Yokomo BD8-2018 and 2017 as well as the Shepherd Velox F1. Starting with the Yokomo chassis, the part sports the same shape as the recently introduced aluminium chassis with the updated front design reducing chassis scrub during hard cornering. The 2.2mm thick chassis fits both the 2018 and 2017 kits. Also new and usable with all chassis variants is a 2.1mm upper deck. As for the Shepherd F1 chassis, the main plate is significantly slimmer, with the Fenix part measuring 89.5mm at the widest point while the original is 113mm. The more narrow design reduces chassis scrub and thus loss of speed during cornering. All of the above products are available now. Source: Fenix [fenix-racing.com] ![]() ![]() |

Also included is a clear JConcepts Silencer buggy body and a new moulded nylon rear wing that is lightweight yet more durable than polycarbonate wings. Source: HB Racing [hbracing.com] ![]() ![]() |
