Hot Bodies release new option parts for the TCXX 1/10th electric touring car in the form of various suspension blocks and a gear diff outdrive set. The suspension mounts in the form of the F/R pivot block are available as 0 degree, 0.5 degree and 1.5 degree variant to alter the front sweep and rear toe of the suspension arms. Also available are two-piece pivot blocks R/F with 0.5 degree and 1.0 degree setting. The split design provides extra flex on lower grip surfaces by allowing the front and rear end of the chassis to twist easier than with single-piece designs. All parts fit the TCXX and the TCX kit. The gear diff outdrive set includes steel front outdrives required for running a gear diff upfront. The drive cups have a thinner slot than the rears to accommodate the 2mm drive pin without the use of a drive blade.

This HPI/HB Hauler Bag is roomy enough for a 1/8 scale buggy or touring/drift car and all required accessories, it’s sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of international travel. Using high-impact, corrugated black plastic sheets to form the interior of the HPI/HB Hauler Bag means that it’s light and maneuverable, so it’s easy to get where you need to be. The bag features inline skate-type wheels and an extending carry handle so it’s easy to transport through crowded airports or even just across the parking lot and into your favorite RC track. Tough carry handles at each end and a long shoulder strap give you more carrying options. The zippered top shelf has loop-style tool holders or can easily fit a tool organizer. The selection of side pockets includes a huge side pocket that can hold an extra-large setup board, an end pocket for instruction manuals or magazines, and two pockets on the opposite end that can hold cleaning spray cans and diff or shock oils. The main body of the HPI/HB Hauler Bag features a full-side zippered opening that rolls up and is secured with hook-and-loop fasteners to stay out of the way of the 5 corrugated plastic drawers.

Up to ten different controller profiles can be stored.

HB have released the TCXX, the car that Atsushi Hara used to TQ the recent IFMAR World Championships in The Netherlands. The TCXX features a battery position that is set inboard as much as possible, with the motor mount further to the left to help compensate for the light weight of today’s servos, receiver and speed controllers. The 2.5mm chassis is extra-narrow to prevent rubbing in tight corners and new carbon battery holders are included to hold the battery pack securely in place. The inner pivot blocks are a new split design to allow the chassis to flex much more than is possible with single-piece designs, giving you more grip and confidence in the corners and while under power, while the one-piece top deck ensures completely equal flex over the entire car.
