Coming from Avid and made for the Tekno RC EB410 buggy are several new option parts. First up is a 4-piece set of FastTune titanium shock standoffs that allow to use a common 1.5mm Allen wrench to prevent the standoff from spinning while using a 5.5mm socket wrench on the other side. The parts are machined from billet 6Al-4V titanium and weight in at about 1.07g per piece which scrubs valuable weight from one of the highest parts of the chassis.
Shepherd have introduced the 2018 WC upgrade kit for the Velox V10 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road car. The set includes all needed parts to bring the 2017 kit to 2018 WC specification, such as lighter vented brake discs for lower operation temperatures and less fading during a run. Also included are redesigned front upper wishbone mounts that eliminate any dynamic camber when the wishbone is mounted in the upper position, increasing cornering speed in difficult track conditions. The front upper wishbone mount will now also form a solid unit with the radio plate due to its redesign, while now leaving more room for the front differential and anti-roll bar. Other parts include a new rear anti-roll bar, updated rear lower wishbones and a new carbon fibre radio plate, the latter makes for easier handling in high grip conditions while also improving traction in low grip conditions. The set is rounded out by a newly developed, lighter one-way, additional body support O-rings prevent the body support from falling off and hard-coated aluminium diff-pins further reduce the rotating mass. The update kit is available for the standard blue and optional black edition.

Coming from TMG Speed is a lowered motor mount for the Team Associated B6 buggy. The item is designed to lower the motor into its original position when raising the gearbox using shims. The motor plate is machined from 7075 alloy for optimum strength and finished in a matt silver colour.

Yeah Racing have introduced a stainless steel skid plate for the centre transmission of the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. The plate is machined from high-quality material and as it interlocks with the shape of the centre gearbox only one mounting screw is needed to hold the plate in place. This allows for easy installation and removal.

Coming from Xray and made for the 2018 variant of their popular X1 1/10th scale formula car are the new flex and standard aluminium main chassis. Both are machined from Swiss 7075-T6 aluminium and come black anodised for wear and looks. As they offer increased torsional rigidity they will make for easier car control, more steering and traction on higher grip surfaces with the flex chassis, that sports machined cut-outs, being best used on medium to high bite tracks while the full face standard chassis excels on high to very high grip tracks. Both feature laser-engraved markings and they are available now.

Coming from Losi and made for the Rock Rey crawler are several aluminium suspension option parts. The range includes an aluminium steering spindle set, an aluminium spindle carrier set as well as a front camber link mount, also made of aluminium. All parts are precision machined and sport a natural silver finish and they are made to improve overall durability while adding visual impact at the same time.
Coming from Project RC is an extra hard on-road clutch spring. The item is made of high carbon steel wire and underwent several hardening processes which results in exceptional durability over a long time and thus a reliable clutch setting run after run which is further helped by the machining of the inner portion which improves the seat of the spring. The extra hard spring is usable for both .12 and .21 engines and it is available now.

Coming from Shepherd and made for the Velox V10 series of 200mm nitro touring cars is the V3 rear swaybar conversion kit. The set contains all necessary parts to run the updated anti-roll bar that is now mounted in a more outside position on the rear lower arm. Without the use of a pivot-ball the anti-roll bar now has almost no play resulting in a more direct operation and smoother cornering.
