Destiny have introduced a new spring steel spool cup set for the RX-10S touring car. The parts utilise a special design that allows to run the front driveshafts with or without C-blades. Using the protective plastic blades results in less stress on the outdrives and driveshafts while the blade-less variant will slightly improve traction and forward bite at the expense of increased outdrive and driveshaft wear. Included in the set are suitable C-blades.
Destiny have introduced new brass weights for the RX-10S 1/10th electric touring car. The range includes a 50g centre weight that runs along the battery and electronics compartment while also acting as an inner battery stopper.

Each plate weighs in at 10g and like the centre weight they attach using already existing mounting holes.
