Posted: 02 Apr 2019 08:43 AM PDT

Coming from 7075.it is the Air Killer+, a battery-powered variant of their popular Air Killer shock and differential vacuum pump system.

The off-road variant includes a flippable insert for both 1/10th and 1/8th off-road shocks and it is also usable for forcing traction compounds into 1/12th scale tyres using the vacuum. The Air Killer+ comes including the popular Monaco RC bag for convenient storage and transportation.

KO Propo RSx3-one10 Ver.D Lite servo

Posted: 02 Apr 2019 01:27 AM PDT

Coming from KO Propo is their new RSx3-one10 Ver.D Lite low-profile servo for 1/10th drift cars. Based on the proven high-end RSx3-one10 Ver.D servo, the Lite version features a moulded composite rather than a machined aluminium top case for a lower weight while brass gears and the abdication of the ICS settings make for a more cost efficient device. The torque and speed however stayed the same as with the high-end variant, making the servo ideal even for demanding applications.
