Available now from Trinity is the new White Carbon 6000mAh LCG touring cat battery pack. The hardcase pack is built using high-quality 100C cells, it is 22.5mm tall and weighs in at 288g. The white colour hardcase pack is equipped with 5mm tube-style connectors and its reduced height compared to standard size batteries means an overall lower centre of gravity for improved corner speeds especially on high bite surfaces.

Coming from RC Speed Secrets and made for the Tekno EB410 buggy is the new rear carbon fibre relocation shock tower. RCSS have moved the upper shock locations and placed them in between the stock locations for more fine tune adjustment and it also features optimised inner ball stud mounting locations for shocks on the front of arm mod with 1.5mm roll centre increments. The shock stay, that is made of top-quality carbon material, can be used with stock, shocks on front arm, and MIP chassis conversions.

JConcepts’ popular rubber parts tray is now also available in a bright orange colour. The tray provides a great platform for organisation with its detailed design, divided pockets and steady base weight. The tray is precision moulded in a rubber material which shows well in any pit area with the available blue, black and the new orange colour options. The grippy nature of the rubber allows the parts to stay rooted where they are placed. The tray has six, built-in positions to place a differential for builds or fluid fills and can accommodate 1/10th and 1/8th sized assemblies. The iconic Dirt-Web tread pattern is raised into the surface of the largest cubicle and JConcepts.net logos blaze the outer perimeter to show brand loyalty and authenticity.

P-One have introduced their new lightweight RS3 body shell for 190mm touring cars. Weighing in at only 75g painted and ready to go the body is of a super lightweight design but thanks to its overall shape the body is very strong and durable.

Bittydesign have introduced their all-new table pad. Measuring 100x63cm the pit mat is made of high-quality fabric with an anti-slip backside padding and colourful Bittydesign graphics on the front.

Revolution Design Racing Products from Germany has introduced two new aluminium option parts for the Yokomo YZ-4 SF off-road buggy in the form of an aluminium steering plate and aluminium steering bell cranks. Starting with the steering plate, the part is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and it replaces the standard carbon fibre part with the alloy plate, improving stability and steering precision. In addition the updated design does away with the kit’s sloppy bushing and shim construction in favour of highly precise ball bearings which results in less play, more precision, an overall improved steering feeling and virtually no wear. The steering plate comes black anodised to match the remainder of the buggy’s alloy parts.
New from Ruddog Products comes a clear double sided tape for a wide range of applications. Coming as convenient 100cm rolls the clear silicone tape offers a comparable thickness to standard foam tapes, however it is much easier to remove from the chassis and electronics while still offering loads of bonding strength for demanding off-road and on-road applications. The somewhat thin tape keeps the electronics as low as possible for minimal influence on the car’s overall centre of gravity and at 25mm width it is ideal for speed controllers, receivers, personal transponders and many more.
