Arrowmax have released new black and golden variants of their popular lightweight setup boards. A new manufacturing process and relocated mounting screws make the boards lightweight, true and durable. An upper carbon fibre plate will give high rigidity while the lower polycarbonate place protects the inner honeycomb webbing while also allowing to view the extensive machining. The board is available in two sizes for 1/12th and 1/10th cars as well as in a larger variant for 1/10th and 1/8th cars and both sport Arrowmax’s popular black and golden anodising for looks and wear.
Coming from Xray and made for their XB8 line of off-road buggies are the new 4-dot progressive front and rear springs.

All are individually measured and matched and they come in sets of two.
SWorkz have released a new teaser image and more information on their forthcoming S35-3 1/8th nitro buggy.

The buggy will also come with an “unique front shock tower” and also a new steering Ackermann geometry for optimised corner characteristics. The kit is set for a release in early 2017 and we bring you more information as they surface.

Available now from Revolution Design Racing Products is the brass gearbox brace for the Team Associated B6-series of buggies. The brace is a direct replacement for the kit’s lightweight composite part and it adds valuable weight to the rear end especially when running in low-traction conditions or when the track is getting bumpier. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the part weighs in at 23g which shifts the weight bias further back. The incorporated anti-roll bar mounts add precision due to the sturdy material, further upping the buggy’s performance.
Coming from JConcepts are the Dirt Racing Products microfibre towels. A favourite pick of Brian “Dirt” Kinwald, JConcepts now offer a specific towel that features split microfibers, making it ideal for all sorts of cleaning purposes including tyre and wheel prepping prior to glueing. The Dirt towels enable the racer to pick up and hold more dust, dirt, and liquid than with traditional cotton, disposable cleaning towels, or even other lesser quality microfiber towels. They are re-useable, machine washable, they can provide many days of use and come as 2-piece set including a black and yellow one.
