Coming from Axon are new matte finish aluminium screws as well as a medium viscosity ball differential grease. Starting with the fasteners, the aluminium bolts are made from aircraft-grade material and their matte surface will grip better into the carbon fibre material of chassis, top decks and shock towers which will lead to a more natural flex of all parts compared to using polished-finish screws. The 3mm button head screws are available in 6mm, 8mm and 10mm specification while the flat head variant comes in 6mm and 8mm length. All are available as 4-piece or 10-piece packs.
Coming soon from Axon is a full range of 64 pitch pinion gears. Their design allows to run them much closer to the motor which can result in less clearance issues especially in belt-driven touring cars. The precision-cut gears are available in a range of 22T to 60T, covering both modified and stock classes and they are available from June.

Japanese company Axon have introduced their all-new High Big Bore Shock absorber for 1/10th touring cars. Designed to deliver maximised corner speed the dampers offer an increased volume while maintaining an outer diameter compatible to most of today’s shock springs. A unique shock body design with a tapered upper section near the shock cap also makes for very well balanced progressive damping which further helps to up speeds in corners. The shocks come in sets of four, including 3-hole pistons, and they are available in variants for the Yokomo BD7/DB8, Xray T4 and Tamiya TRF 419X. Not included are the upper and lower ball ends, spring cups and springs with these parts need to be taken from the respective chassis kits.

Japanese company Axon have introduced new silicone shock and differential O-rings for a range of vehicles. The P3-size shock and P5-size differential O-ring seals are made using a special silicone material that is less prone to swell under the influence of silicone fluids while also making for exceptional sealing, greatly reducing leaking issues. On top of this the silicone rubber reduces the friction between the shafts and the rings, making for a softer break-away and overall smoother damper and diff action. The P3 shock seals are available as soft and medium hardness variant in 8-piece packs while the P5 diff seal comes in 2-piece packs.
